Alright folks, what's your most sexy, pulse-raising romance novel?

Gender is irrelevant! The spicier the better!

I want to heat up the weekend to match the temperature!

Author Charlie Stross has written a blog post about whether or not his books (to date) pass or fail the Bechdel Test and why.

Excellent.

"I've been aware of the Bechdel Test since the late 1990s and actively using it as part of my unconscious checklist for how to write a novel that doesn't suck in some way, but even keeping it in mind, I sometimes fail. And I think it's worth looking at where and why that happens."

For those who have read Octavia Butler's The Patternist series, what do you recommend: reading in order of publication, or in order of internal chronology? I've not read the series before and am not sure whether to start with Patternmaster or Wild Seed. Thank you please!

I have plenty of books on my but I finished my & need a new one for my commute, & I’m so deep in reviewing eARCs that I don’t have an audiobook up next.

What’s a great , , or fantasy audio I should give a try? Can be epic & awesome, or cozy, or classic. & are both welcome. No Sanderson, Expanse, WoT, or Culture reccs por favor!
