Have you gotten into the spicy fantasy novels yet?  The Romantasy genre is a full-blown phenomenon.  

Do these books have sex in them?  Yes. Yes they do.  A lot of it.  Are they so fun to read? Yes. Yes they are. The stakes are high, the sex is good, and our heroins are becoming.  They are rising. They are remembering the power within themselves. They are reclaiming their pleasure.  This is a sacred feminine awakening baby!  And the spiritual themes do not stop there.  

These book are rampant both in the sheets and in the woo.  The magic, the power within, the love, the lust, the intimacy, the transformation through traumatic experiences, the connection, the friendships...these novels are our mirrors.  And they resonate because they are mirroring our own becoming.  Our own desires.  Our own rising.  

Part of any spiritual awakening includes releasing restraints.  Women have been disempowered long enough.  Spicy fantasy novels celebrate every part of us -  the light, the shadow, and the smutty, sexy, sacred little minx who will kick your ass and leave you wanting more.

Anna Ruckert is Rochester New York's, unofficial romantasy librarian and enthusiast.
