Last week, little-known erotica author Lacey Noonan set the football world aflame with the publication of her scintillating ebook A Gronking to Remember: Book One in the Rob Gronkowski Erotica Series.

I dare say nothing further to stir up controversy.” In the meantime, here are six more inappropriately sexual NFL fan fiction titles due out as part of the “Gridiron Boudoir” series. The Gist’s Mike Pesca described a few of the sensual new novels Thursday in trailers on his show, which you can listen to below. Continue reading at 'Slate'
