A lot of people have read romance novels, however because the lines between them are so blurred it's hard to distinguish the difference between romance novels and erotica.
Romance novels by definition place their primary focus on the relationship and romantic love between two people, and must have an emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending. These books include intimate details, like how he held her, the look in her eyes as she gazed at him, the fit of longing that drives them.These nooks are meant to give the reader that warm-and-fuzzy feeling. The plot lines are often cliched and fluffy, but are enough to give the reader their lovey fix. There are endless romance stories out there but one example is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. This story has very little sexual things going on but is extremely romantic. Why? Because we feel the tenderness and passion between the two lovers and want them to be together. I can't say for sure where this desire comes from, but the emotional attachment and desire for the love between two characters and the warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you see them actually hooking up is essentially what attracts me to romance in the first place.
Erotica is a genre of literature that includes sexually explicit details as a primary feature. Unlike pornography, erotica does not aim exclusively at sexual arousal. Though the distinction is blurring in modern works, erotica traditionally contains more sexual details than romance novels.
These books consist of pure raunchiness and sexual explicity. You can tell by the first few lines of these books that the main purpose is to arouse the reader. The sex depicted in these books often include orgies, threesomes, bondage, basically any kind of sex play you can imagine.
There is very little tenderness in these stories and rarely do you stumble upon a couple who love each other. it is essentially porn, quick, sexy, and to the point.
I read a few chapeters from the book Master's Ecstasy (hilarious title right) by Justus Roux and on nearly every page there is at least one sex scene. The ENTIRE BOOK is sex scenes. There's nothing wrong with that, nothing at all, it is just what the audience is looking for. Not engaging plot or flawless dialog, just something quick and sexy. These stories are simple a cornacopia of sexual fantasies all poured into a loosely based story.
