There’s been this thing going on over on Twitter that I won’t get into details about, but apparently an author who’s just published a book billed as erotic romance thinks that, among other things, writing about a sex worker is groundbreaking for the genre.
As if.
Anyway, in the process of the discussion, the awesome and adorable Heidi Belleau suggested the idea of reccing books by existing erotic romance authors that have main characters who do (or have done) some form of sex work. And hey, I had a birthday post coming up and thought that would be an EXCELLENT idea.
Here is a list of as many stories as I could pile in over the weekend. I’ve linked as best I could and, whenever possible, used the author’s own description for the specific position (e.g., escort vs. hooker vs. prostitute). I have not specified the type of story or pairing (M/M, M/F, etc.), and I haven’t vetted all these personally, so please read blurbs/reviews/etc. before one-clicking (or don’t come cryin’ to me about it, LOL).
