50 shades of greyIf you are like most women, Fifty Shades of Grey has left you breathless ... and wanting more.
Sadly, with just three books in the series, your time with Christian Grey must come to an end (at least until the film comes out). But don't fret. There are plenty of other super erotic reads to whet your appetite.
Here's a list of the 12 most tantalizing post-Grey options.
  1. Strangers by Barbara Elsborg  Two strangers whose lives are spiraling out of control find the bliss between the sheets with one another.
  2. Gabriel's Inferno by Sylvain Reynard  Sexy, secretive professor Gabriel Emerson uses his good looks and charm to seduce sweet graduate student Julia Mitchell. (The book was also a semi-finalist for Best Romance in the 2011 Goodreads Choice Awards.) 
  3. Generational Sins by Samantha Blair  A man who always thought women were things to be toyed with meets a stunning submissive who becomes so much more to him.
  4. The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice  In this retelling, the fairytale princess is awakened by foreplay, not a simple kiss. The prince's reward -- Beauty's sexual enslavement to him.
