Fans of Interracial Romance discussion

I just finished reading . I enjoyed it well enough that I started looking into more of her books. I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me if most of them are considered erotica?

I have read Happily Even After by Lena Matthews and I loved it also, it was also pretty erotic but her stories are well written with good substance... ya know what I mean?

I've read Happily Even After (3 stars) and which was a great read and I'd categorize it as a steamy romance.

Thanks ladies! I have no problem with erotica, just curious.

I would charactertize her as not necessarily an erotica writer, but one whose romance novel(las) include explicit love scenes. But she actually write relationship stories.

This one, despite the cover leans on the sweeter side. It is a Cinderella retelling.
This one, leans more over to the erotica side but it very much includes a loving married couple.

I'd agree, her books lean toward the explicit side but the stories are very relationship based and romantic.

Relationships with some erotica! :)

I love her books the men are passionate and she gives a great story and the romance not just the sexy erotica keep me coming back

I have several of Lena Matthews books in my collection and all of them I love and have reread them many times.(My favorite three are For Love's Sake Only, The Blacker The Berry, and The Sweetest Taboo) Her stories are well written and they have a blend of romance, steam and a very sensual nature about them and they are filled with love marriage and family. One of the other things I love when reading her stories is the heroine has a confident and sexual independence about her and during the sex scenes there's dirty talk between the characters that is tastefully written. Overall her stories has substance and great chemistry between the characters. I have been very satisfied with all the books I've read by her.

I think my favorite of hers was . I may need to do a re-read.

She also had a Scandal blog during the show's first season complete with a fake face-book page for all the characters that was wickedly funny. The status updates were a hoot!

Doesn't the book, The Gift, has to do with the husband bringing in his brother because he couldn't get his wife pregnant? So the marriage isn't just between man and wife, but also the brother, so it's menage.

I started reading it and stopped because of that. The title had me fooled. I couldn't understand if he loved his wife so much why he couldn't find other ways for her to get pregnant, like sperm donation, but he chose to share this love of his life, and I heard she was very eager to participate.

I guess I just don't understand loving someone but have no issues with sharing them as you would a pair of shoes just for her to get pregnant when there is other ways it could be done.

I especially hate when kids are brought into that kind of thing but I guess the author needed something that wasn't used before to write a menage. I just don't understand it.

This is sorta spoilerish

I almost enjoyed, Happily even after, but the anal sex while she was pregnant and the smut, turned me off, big time.

These are just my thoughts and my taste. I just hate that an issue as having a baby would be used to write a menage.
