When we opened our new shop, my boyfriend (Arjen Klinkenberg - the designer of this calendar and a lot more from Club Geluk) made us a fifties beefcake calendar. He loves to make weird things and the calendar was really funny. Then when I brought my car to the automobile repair shop, I spotted a pin-up calendar with sexy girls dragging tires, auto parts and tools: we realized that making a male version with yarn would be the exact opposite."
These may not have inner goddesses but they do have layered protagonists and some hot, hot writing.
This series follows Nora, a famous erotica author who's working on her most personal manuscript to date. Her British editor, Zach, won't let her publish it until she rewrites the novel to his strict liking, and this dynamic soon creates a sexual and dynamic relationship between them. The books has been met with sterling reviews and has established itself as more than just another erotica series.

Cherise Sinclair's BDSM series, like Fifty Shades, also involves a woman becoming sexually awakened as a sub, except she's ambitious and brilliant and isn't having submissive sex to get a guy to like her more. The best part? Sinclair has written a LOT of S&M erotica, so you'll have a lot to hold you over.
Quote: “It's hard for an educated woman to turn her head off. That's part of the joy of being a submissive. None of the decisions are yours. When you can't refuse anything and can't even move, those voices in your head go silent. All you can do, and all you are permitted to do, is feel.”

The new debut novel of an upcoming series, The Gentleman's Club follows Mademoiselle Noire, a sexually liberated and highly intelligent woman with whom Lord MacCaulay becomes obsessed. The book has been praised for its writing style and progressive heroine, who often questions gender norms and dated social conventions.
Quote: To sample the delights of a great many women is considered right and healthy for a man, yet the opposite is held true for those of our sex. Where we display undue interest in sexual matters, even within marriage, we are thought immoral. For myself, I can only conceive of such limitation with horror: a torture for which I have no taste.”

The plot revolves around Lady Elyssa, a 700-year-old vampire queen who has been feeling mysteriously weak as of late. She ends up with a macho servant named Jacob, who isn't used to being a submissive but slowly changes when he's with her. They end up having more in common than they realized and start to form a genuine bond. Basically, this book should be more famous than Fifty Shades of Grey AND Twilight.
Quote: “A man who doesn't test the mettle of his soul isn't much of a man...”
