I'm looking for an engaging fantasy which features some not-for-the-faint sexiness. It doesn't have to be in the romance genre, and I'd actually prefer it not be, but I'm open to romance novels which carry themselves like grown-ups and feature a compelling plot. I know they exist!
For context, my complaint with most of the fantasy I've read which contains any explicit content is that it tends to be very "her boobs titted breastily," if you know what I mean. My husband recently recommended I read Sword of Truth, saying it was gritty and sexy, but I found it very misogynistic even in its attempts at 'female empowerment,' and couldn't finish it. Come to think of it, I don't know if I've ever read a fantasy which was good at providing both rich story and steamy sex (the kind that didn't come from the self-fellating mind of a manbun's mid-life crisis).
But hey, I haven't had much chance to see what's out there recently, so throw up your recommendations! Thank you!
