In the words of the author, likes to make "human" characters, with whom a person can identify and see that they are real, with its flaws and its virtues, and always with a happy ending. And this is a maxim of Maxwell, the fact that a romantic and erotic novel must always have a happy ending.

Megan Maxwell: the best books of the author
Choosing Megan Maxwell's best books by the author is quite complicated, since she has to her credit more than 20 titles written by her. However, we have made a small selection of some that we think you should not miss (and we will surely leave out much more). These are:
Ask me whatever you want
There are currently 7 books written in this saga, the first erotic thing that the author wrote. Ask me what you want is closely related to 50 Shades of Gray, and although it seems that the theme is the same, the truth is that Megan knew how to take the story to her ground.

In the central office in Madrid he meets Judith, a witty and friendly young woman whom he immediately falls in love with.

Together with him he will learn that we all have a voyeur inside us, and that people are divided into submissive and dominant ... But time passes, the relationship intensifies and Eric begins to fear that his secret will be discovered, something that could mark the beginning or the end. end of relationship.
Wish granted
This book is the first of The Maxwell Warriors, a saga based in Scotland and one for which she became known. The story centers on a woman, the oldest of three brothers, whose life has not been easy. For this reason, he has forged a strong character so as not to intimidate himself against anything or anyone.
On the other hand, you have Highlander Duncan McRae, known as the Falcon, used to everyone obeying him. But with Megan things are not so easy, and that makes it a challenge for him to "tame" her. Or maybe it's the other way around.
Hi do you remember me?
This novel is perhaps one of the most special for the author because it has, surely with some changes, the story of her parents. And it is that in it you will not have only one love story, but two. As in other books, Maxwell plays with the past and the present to present two parallel stories. The protagonist, Alana, is a journalist and goes to New York to do a report. There he meets Joel, captain of the First Marine Division of the United States Army. The problem is that she runs away from him for fear of falling in love and he goes after her to understand why he does not want to be carried away by love.
Red peach
It is one of the most recommended chick lit novels among Megan Maxwell readers and one of her best books. In it you will find two "somewhat crazy" photographers, who suffer a fire in their studio, so the firefighters must come.
One of them, Rodrigo, becomes the "object of desire" of one of them, Ana, and although for this he is not his type, he decides to have a friendship "with the right to touch." The problem is when a pregnancy appears in the middle and a lie that causes everything to become entangled.
Welcome to the club
If you are tired of "modest" women who always dream of their happy ending, you should meet the members of the "Cabronas sin Fronteras" club, women who have become disillusioned with lies and love disappointments.
Silvia, Rosa and Elisa have not had much luck in love. Due to different circumstances, the three have ended up breaking their supposedly happy married lives and have adopted the marital status of single or divorced. And there is also Venice. Single and childless, both her friends' lives and her latest love failure make her see that love, in addition to being outdated, is shit.
After a night of partying and drunkenness in a karaoke, where they know the stories of other women, they have several things clear:
1. Love is for the unwary.
2. No more being a princess to start being a warrior.
3. Armored heart and cool head (and if it's in "uncle mode" ... all the better).
4. They will create a private club called… Cabronas sin Fronteras.
