What is 'The Bachelor' host Chris Harrison’s erotic novel called? Shocked fans rush to buy steamy ‘sex book’ 

While some are yet to digest lines from his novel, a few feel the producers used this as an opportunity to promote Harrison's old novel

We have known Chris Harrison as the quintessential host of the Bachelor Nation. But, did you know he has also authored an erotic novel? In the January 18 episode of ‘The Bachelor’, the suitresses are called on a group date and former Bachelor Nation contestant Ashley Ianconetti reads a few extremely steamy lines from Harrison’s novel. The ladies are later asked to write their own “romantic scene” for Matt James. 

While the suitresses left no stone unturned to express their sexual desires for Matt, viewers were rather taken aback by the fact that Harrison had penned a novel, that too an erotic one. Soon, Twitter users took to the platform to ask one another about Harrison’s novel, which clearly stole the spotlight on the latest episode.

Harrison authored his novel ‘The Perfect Letter’ in 2016. The book is available for sale on Amazon’s Kindle for $9.34. According to its description, the host “explores the perils and rewards of risking everything for love”.

The host's romantic novel has garnered a lot of attention as many fans have expressed their interest in buying it. While some are yet to digest lines from his novel, a few feel the producers used this as an opportunity to promote Harrison's old novel.
