12 Books to Read After Fifty Shades of Grey

It seems that everyone in the United States has heard of Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James, and millions of women have now read it. Regardless of your thoughts on the book, it is very apparent that the Fifty Shades series has taken the erotica fiction genre mainstream. Men and women everywhere are reading these books – on planes, in auto repair shops, and at coffee shops.
 
But now that you've finished reading the trilogy and are awaiting more details on the upcoming movie, maybe you're asking: "What do I read next?" (oh, right sorry… you're asking for a friend) *wink*. If you want to read other books that are similar to Fifty Shades, I've got some recommendations for you. Next time you, or your friend, are at your local HPB bookstore, look for some of these titles.


 
Also, be on the lookout for the next book in the Bared to You series, Reflected in You, which will be available to the public next Tuesday, October 23rd. – Kristen B.

Great review. I LOVED Bared to you after Fifty Shades, but wasn't crazy about the sequel, reflected in you. I also LOVED First Thing I See after Fifty :)

I loved Bared to You and Reflections of you! They both were great books and I can't wait until the next book in the series comes out in May!!!!
