13 books as hot as Fifty Shades of Grey
Get ready to sweat and swoon all over again.
We love Fifty Shades of Grey; the book and its sequels Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed ignited something in readers, whether they were veterans of spicy romance or entirely new to the genre. The series has hardly cooled at all since it took the world (!) by storm. While re-reading is fun, part of the thrill of EL James' series was the unpredictability that came with that special first time, not knowing what Christian would demand next—and how Anastasia would respond.
Here are 13 books for Fifty Shades fans to strap into, ranked on a 1-5🔥 scale.
