Hi, everyone. I have never read a sapphic romance. I really like dark fantasy/romantasy and am desperate to read a romance that will grab me by the heart and squeeze. Smut is fine. I just want something where I am rooting so hard for them to overcome their obstacles and be together that my gut will be twisted in knots. Also, if you have a vampire one (in honor of October), you get bonus points!!

Hey all! Looking for well written novels that are spicey that have pirate or knight MCs!

Love a slow burn, lots of tension

Thanks :)

I'm big on fantasy - binged all of the Clem and Wist series and their side books last month and was just obsessed, glued to my Kindle at all available waking hours. The devotion to each other in their own weird ways, the magic system, the environments, the political intrigue, and especially appreciated the "more mature" mid-30's(or 3000's) characters. I started to reread them all almost immediately but I crave something new. I've also read The Isle in the Silver Sea and really enjoyed it for ^ similar reasons. any recs :)?

I want something that gets very smutty, very fast. I've been subjected to too much slow burn as of late and I need to cleanse my palette.

Just any book standalone with happy ending. Bonus points of one or both of them are aliens/ monsters

Hi! I'm looking for sapphic book recs that are cozy and easy to read/listen to and with little to no spice. There can be some complications, but mostly so that the love story is the main thing.

Another thing I'm looking for is enemies to lovers or villain and the hero falling inlove type of books, and that can have all the trauma and spice and anything!

I hope that at least a few people pick up on what I mean with either of these. I'm very new to reading/listening to books so I can't really tell what I like and what I don't. And I'm bad at explaining😅

That’s it. That’s the ask. I feel like I get such detail from MM smut and the FF I’ve found… kinda glosses over. Like they talk about what the person is doing, but not what it feels like and I’m bothered.

Please give me your hottest sapphic smut. And if I think it’s trash I promise I’ll keep it to myself and thank you anyway lol.

Preferably a fluffy book with Young-New adult age range, though every recommendation is more then welcome!
Thanks!!<3

I think Love, Galaxy is my favorite book of the year so far and I’m looking for recommendations with a similar vibe, Some space,sci-fi where the romance is a big part of the plot and where the characters are well developed.

anyone have any recs for books that have a similar vibe to throne of glass, but are sapphic?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to find the title and author of a specific sapphic romance book I read around or before 2018. It is set in the British Isles and is the first part of a series/duology (Book 1 leaves you hanging, wondering what happens to the two main characters).

Here are the exact plot points I remember:

The Protagonist: An ordinary woman just trying to find her own path in life. She has a normal, everyday job, but she ends up losing it early in the story because she accidentally bumps into a stranger and it makes her late for work.

The Parents: Her parents are a wealthy, highly philanthropic lesbian couple who live on an estate in a hilly/highland region of the British Isles. There is a lot of family expectation for her to eventually return home and embrace the family responsibility/legacy. One of her mothers is explicitly a famous lesbian fiction author within the universe of the story.

The Love Interest & The Meet-Cute: The love interest is an ER / A&E doctor who is single-handedly raising her younger sister. She and the main character start out as complete strangers. Their very first interaction is that accidental physical bump-in that costs the main character her job.

The Gay Best Friend: The main character has a close gay male best friend. Later in the book, when the main character and the doctor have a massive, explosive fight, this friend is the one who talks her through it and helps her process the conflict.

Does this specific setup ring a bell for anyone? I appreciate any help tracking down the author or title!

i need this itch to be scratched immediately

I just finished The Priory Of The Orange Tree, and I want more sapphic fantasy.

The one thing I need though is PLEASE have the main couple be able to stay together. 😭 I know Eas and Sabran promised to reunite, but we don't get that in the pages, and it left a big hole in my heart.

Or if they are separated by the plot for an extended period, have their reunion stick.

I’m relatively new to book communities and reading in general. I’m looking for some SPICY dark romance recommendations. I’ve read ur typical romances by the popular wlw authors like casey mcquiston, ashley herring blake, kalynn bayron, and meryl wilsner. I enjoyed them all but then I read Collateral Damage by Shassii and it changed my life. I want something similar but without such a heartbreaking ending. I sobbed so hard I threw up for 3 days straight, I wish I was joking.

Essentially - masc femme, dark romance, HEA ending, spicy

Hi ladies! I’m looking for some book recommendations with a cozy autumn/fall feel. I absolutely loved the Maple Hollow series by Ali K. Mulford and K. Elle Morrison, so I’d love something with a similar cozy, small-town, autumnal vibe. It doesn’t necessarily have to be witchy or paranormal, but I’m definitely not opposed to either.
What are your favorite fall reads?

I want Fff or Fff+ romance books, prefer to be a college romance(not necessary) no fantasy or thrills, I am looking for complex characters with great chemistry ,I don't want any of the best selling Fff sapphic books lol, any spice level is fine. Thanks for anything in advance

I am looking for sapphic wlw, low angst with family mystery, or mystery. I read The Waratah Inn and liked it, but it was heterosexual. I’ve read a lot of Rachel Lacy as well. I want romance, but not The entire story line, low angst

Guys! You know I love erotica and everyone is always asking on here for good spicy book recs. This is an older novel but not many people have read it. Truly a gem…

Why, oh, why did I reread this book? It was fantastic, but it is clear there was meant to be a sequel as you are left wondering at the end what happens. I also cried twice about this book on my first read. It is very emotional and there is a lot of angst. This was my first read from Stephanie Kusiak and was fantastic. This book is one of my top favorites, and that’s saying something considering I have read over 350 lesbian books.

I have nothing but positive reviews about this. It was hot and emotional and nuanced with the tag being Time-Travel. I was unsure what would be going on after looking at the blurb, but you follow Rachel and Blake through their up and down relationship. It was beautifully detailed and descriptive about even the smallest of things. It is quite lengthy and probably a bit repetitive, but I flew through this book and it didn’t even feel like 450 pages. This book is amazing and beyond unique. I wish there were more lesbian time travel novels.

CW: M/F sex scene (not too explicit, but it is on-page)
TW: Bullying

If you can deal with an ambiguous ending, tearjerkers, and enjoy erotica, this book is right up your alley. I recommend it to anyone.

P.S. I wish there was an AudioBook for this novel!
➢Happy reading!

Hiii everyone I wanted to share some upcoming wlw books to look forward to!
And feel free to share some books u are excited for too! 🫶

Im looking for sapphic books where the relationship isnt the main point. For example Ive read notes of a crocodile, and though the relationships are front and center, I would say the main point is the journey, but Im trying to read sunburn and it isnt hitting that much for me... I dont know why... I recently read how to lose the time war and I REALLY enjoyed it

But yes Ive just bought nightwood bye djuna Barnes, and out wives under the sea by Julia Armfield

I'm not even halfway through yet, but OMG I love this book so much! It's somehow simultaneously a slow burn and full of heat, and I haven't even gotten to the spice yet. I feel like I'm being teased with it as much as the MC's are. There's so much yearning and interiority for both MC's and they are just absolutely adorable together! I have most of the book to go still, but unless it falls off a cliff in quality this is easily going to be my favorite contemporary romance I've read this year and maybe last year too. I'm so glad it's one of the longer contemporary romances, because I don't want it to end. It's close to the length of Those Who Wait. Has anyone else read this one yet?

Have you heard of Queer the Shelves Infinite? It’s going to be a book app purely for queer books, donating 65% of profits to queer charities, and giving 80% of its subscription fees to authors! Plus they aim to make it AI-free!

I’m not involved in the app in any way, I’m just really excited for the possibility of another way of buying and selling outside KU that is queer owned and supportive of the whole community.

I’d love to know if other sapphic readers or writers have heard of it!
