London, December 16 (ANI): As adults are racing to snap up the erotic 'Fifty Shades of Grey' trilogy, teenagers eager to have some read some steamy stuff are grabbing copies of Liz Bankes' novel 'Irresistible'.
According to The Independent, publishers have wasted no time in supplying to the demand and produced 'steamies' - essentially erotic literature for teenagers.
Publishers are now keen to push out escapist romances that explore sex and teenage romance, knowing that the titles will be snapped out without fear of censorship.
'Irresistible' tells the story of a teenage girl's dilemma about her relationship with two boys.
According to the newspaper, it is the first British book of the new genre.
Brenda Gardner, managing director at Irresistible's publisher Piccadilly Press, said that they had worked with booksellers to find a way of producing a book that would sate teenagers' wish for steamy novels, without the graphic content that pervades the Fifty Shades books and other adult fiction.
"It's not about graphic sex, it's about passion," the Daily Mail quoted Gardner as saying.
Readers of 'Irresistible' have raved about the content of the book, with Amazon reviewers praising it for its steamy passion and saying that it is perfect for older teenagers as it explores first relationships and physical desires.
The books have been designed to offer stories about contemporary teenage life so that young people have something to identify with, without resorting to adult fiction written by the likes of Jackie Collins or the 'Mills and Boon' series. (ANI)
