Books after dark: 3 Spicy Books to Add to Your TBR

If you’re looking for books that’ll make your heart race and your cheeks blush (in the best way), this is the list for you! These four spicy reads deliver steam, drama, and characters you’ll fall head over heels for. Whether you’re into reimagined fairy tales, small-town romance, or fiery fantasy, there’s something here for everyone.

Salacious Players Club by Sara Cate

If you haven’t heard of the Salacious Players Club series yet, it’s time to get on board. This isn’t your average romance series—it’s bold, boundary-pushing, and oh-so-addictive. Each book focuses on a different character connected to a high-end adult club, and every story explores unique relationships, personal growth, and plenty of spice.

The best part? These books are as empowering as they are sexy. Sara Cate doesn’t shy away from exploring taboo topics, but she does it with so much care and nuance that you’re left wanting more. This series is for you if you’re looking for something a little different (and a lot hot).

Insatiable by Melanie Harlow

Ever wonder what would happen if you decided to hook up with your best friend? Insatiable answers that question—and then some. Noah and Meg have been best friends forever, but when Meg decides she’s ready to ditch her dry spell, she asks Noah to help her out.

Spoiler: Things get really steamy.

But this book isn’t just about the spice (though, trust me, it’s hot). It’s also about vulnerability and what happens when two people finally stop pretending they don’t want more. It’s funny, emotional, and seriously sexy. If you love friends-to-lovers stories, you’ll devour this one.

The Never King by Nikki St. Crowe

What if Peter Pan wasn’t the sweet boy who never grows up, but a dangerous, brooding anti-hero? That’s exactly what Nikki St. Crowe delivers in The Never King. This dark fantasy romance flips the classic story on its head, turning Neverland into a place of secrets, danger, and plenty of heat.

Wendy Darling is no damsel in distress here—she’s bold, fierce, and more than capable of holding her own against Peter and his Lost Boys. With a mix of fantasy, suspense, and spicy romance, this book is perfect for anyone who loves dark fairy tale retellings. But fair warning: you’ll be hooked from page one.

Why These Books Deserve a Spot on Your Shelf

These four books bring the heat, but they also bring so much more. They’re about love, growth, and letting yourself embrace what you really want. Whether you’re new to spicy romance or a seasoned pro, you’ll find something to love here.

So, grab a cozy blanket, maybe some wine (you’ll need it), and settle in. These books will take you on a wild, steamy ride you won’t want to end. Looking for some more spicy romance book? We’ve got you covered!
