Carrie Ann Ryan’s Explicitly Yours is a five-book contemporary romance series published between 2014 and 2020. The series starts with Possession and continues through Domination, Provocation, Obsession, and the later addition Don’t Break This Kiss. Each book follows a different couple through an intense romantic relationship.
Ryan writes with a focus on emotional honesty between her characters, and the Explicitly Yours books are among her more direct and heat-forward works.

Fans of contemporary romance who enjoy well-paced stories with strong chemistry between the leads will find this series a solid choice.
