Top 16 Books Like 50 Shades Of Grey Trilogy Updated 04 /2024

The release of Fifty Shades Freed, the final film in the infamously sexy trilogy, brings back memories of the original book that started it all: Fifty Shades of Grey. Author E.L. James' book was (obviously) a huge hit, and many people believe that nothing else comes close to the now-iconic series of books.

When Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele came along, erotica was a popular genre, but it wasn't widely talked about. The genre has, however, expanded enormously since FiftyShades. If the recent film adaptations have left a void in your heart the size of Fifty Shades of Grey, then this is welcome news.

This list of books should have you covered, whether you're looking for something as steamy as Fifty Shades of Grey or something a little more conventionally romantic. Although not all of these are specifically about BDSM, some do).
