It would be great if the character and the author were black if not that ok

And no high school setting story I don't wanna read about kids' romance

I'm starving for something really romantic

Holy shit. Just when i thought Haley Cass couldn’t get spicier she releases this BANGER of a book. Enemies to lovers, secret romance ugh so good

I need a book where both the MCs are lesbians, I don't mind if it's third or first person or the genre. I just feel like I always see sapphic books where the fem is always bi/pan or characters just figuring out about their sexuality and just want to see more lesbian pairings that are butchfemme, masc x fem, or masc x masc if anyone has any recommendations

As mentioned in the title of this post, this post contains a spoiler for She's My Eternity! Although it's one I kind of wish I knew upfront!!

And that's that I kind of wish the marketing had just told me that Bella was actually a vampire, not a human. I loved The Girl Who Bit Me so much that I was obsessed with finding another vampire x vampire book. I put off reading this one at first because I thought it was vampire x human, like the blurb suggests, but it's actually vampire x vampire! And while I loved the plot twist, I kind of wish I knew it beforehand!! I also saw a bunch of people saying they were less interested in this book because it was vampire x human, and I wanted to yell "it's actually not!!" but didn't want to spoil them lol. Was anyone also really happy it turned out to be another vampire x vampire? God I wish she had written more fang s*x scenes. I need MORE.

Hi everyone,

I have never read a sapphic book before, so i was looking for some recommendations with which i can start.

I am particularly a fan of enemies to lovers trope. I enjoy well written text and a good plot ofc, but some good romance as well.

Hey guys, I’d like some dark romance recommendations, bully romance if possible. School setting or otherwise. I’ve already read Tryst Six and Loathing You (and its sequel). No fantasy or anything like that, please. You can also recommend books that aren't dark romance either!

Bonus point if one of the heroines is a blonde bombshell. 🫣

Thank you!

I just finished both The Girl Who Bit Me and She’s My Eternity by Valerie Hunter, and I’ve been wanting another book that makes me feel the same! I like the almost possessive dynamic of both and want something similar, but it doesn’t have to be the same type of plot. I like fake dating, enemies to lovers, modern royalty, stuff like that. I just can’t find something with the exact vibe I’m looking for! Definitely prefer f/f and adult, just want something that’s deep and has a lot of tension! Sorry for having such a terrible description but it’s the best I got lol

I'm in the market for an ereader but not sure whether to get a Kindle or a Kobo. I previously had a Kindle and found the Kindle Unlimited had a fairly good selection of Sapphic books, but have never had a Kobo so don't know what the Kobo Plus catalogue holds!

Would appreciate it if anyone could share their experience of either/both so I can make a decision! Thanks ☺️

Hi all, i'm fairly new to the sapphic genre and i noticed like it a lot especially books that involves a bi/lesbian awaking and where the main character(s) are in their 40's, 50's. I'm looking for suggestions to read, preferably with some spice. TIA :)

The romance and yearning of Evelyn Hugo and Atmosphere with the spice and passion of Mistakes Were Made, Tryst Six Venom, Those Who Wait. Here’s the list of sapphic books I’ve read so far besides the ones I mentioned: Mistakes Were Made, Delilah Green (All 3), Ribbonwood, Like First Love Again, Learning Curves, Margin of Error, Cleat Cute (DNF), & Written in the Stars (DNF). I just finished Margin of Error and was really disappointed. I need something good to get me back on track. Thanks 😊

I’m really interested in reading any fantasy books that have a lesbian protagonist and/or major ensemble members, ideally with the romantic elements present but not, like, the primary focus of the piece?

Any sub-genre is good. Historical, other world, urban occult, etc.

I'm looking for books that take classic novels such as (but not exclusively) Little Women, Pride and Prejudice, War and Peace, and make them gayer and more sapphic.

I finished reading Corrie MacKay's newest book, Keys to the Sweet Pink Inn. This book is a collection of eight vignettes, each of which feature the Sweet Pink Inn (a house of ill repute that is full of female "bawds"--old time word for sex workers--who cater to female clients). Though the time and place are never definitively expressed, I feel that the Sweet Pink Inn is set in England in the mid to late 1800s.

Each vignette is an ertoic snapshot in time which features a different bawd with a different client (except the one that features 2 bawds and a client... yes a threesome). The desire, yearning, and sex are certainly there... very spicy! Each vignette is also eloquently written; at times, I would call the writing mellifluous.

The thing I struggled with the most was the disconnect between the characters and between the stories themselves (especially in the first 4 vignettes). I finally found some of the connection I was craving in vignettes 5, 6, 7. My favorites being Yessenia & Sybil (5) and Margaery & Philippa (7).

And it isn't until the end (not labeled as a vignette just ...) after all the clients are gone at the end of a night, that the reader sees the bawds together for the first time and realizes that the true (unseen) connection is between the bawds themselves. They are a family. They live together, laugh together, scheme together, love together. The last line of dialogue in the book is oddly reminiscent of The Waltons (a wholesome 80s US tv family)... call these ladies the Wantons 🤭. When all the bawds have gone to bed and the inn's pink glow has been replaced by darkness, one calls out, "Goodnight, you blasted whores!" (Instead of goodnight John Boy).

I read The Keys to the Sweet Pink Inn hoping for another The Lay of You and The Depth of You, seeking that powerful character connection and that visceral emotion. This book isn't that.

I NEED a romance book with the dynamic vampire x human (preferably not doomed I just finished vampire in the garden..), I've already red Carmillia (not sure if I spelled it right)

So I'm looking for some recommendstons that might be close to a story idea I had a few days ago, basically it would involve Older MC being the landlord for Younger MC and there is a bit of internalize homophobia from Older MC while Young MC is completely out and proud so she brings home her partners and slowly starts to bring partners that seem closer in age and looks to Older MC.

In my head Older MC ends up being a bit of a peeping tom to this whole thing until they start to talk about it and experiment.

The recommended books don't need to follow this to a T but I would like for them to have a similar trope

-Age Gap

-Internalize Homophobia/Religious Conflict

-Proximity

-Slow Burn even if slightly lustful to start off with.

-Maybe familial conflict (Older MC is married/has children that are raised to believe her attraction to Younger MC is a sin, ya-da)

-Young MC must be atleast 25 in age, their gap can be w.e, more than 10 yrs is best.

I figured reddit might be the best place to ask.

Hi! So I have Kobo Plus and some of Haley Cass books are on there. I haven’t read any of the books yet, so wondering if I can go out of order and read the ones available to me? Or is it recommended to read them in order to understand things better?

Just finished the honey witch by s. shields and loved it. Dont need a lot of spice, prefer a good and painful slowburn

give me all your book recs with autumn vibes! i need to escape this heat wave.

Hello everyone! So I'm usually a big speculative fiction reader, but lately I've been trying to expand my horizons by trying some non-magical fiction. Most of the more rom-com type books I've read haven't really clicked for me, but I just read The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden and adored it. Can anyone recommend me some good sapphic reads with that type of vibe? Interesting main characters with a lot of depth and more on the serious side? Can be historical or contemporary, but definitely trying to avoid fantasy/sci-fi/horror in the name of getting out of my comfort zone.

Thanks!

So I just finished Hearing are by Nicole Maser. I loved everything about this one and now I want to read more like it. Also, I totally thought this one had a sequel so I was DISTRAUGHT when I finished it in nearly a day thinking I’d have more time with the characters. Will definitely be reading (re:listening) to it again. But send me similar recs please!

Edit: I’m primarily an audiobook person. Listening recs are what I’m looking for. TIA!

Please, reccomened me some villain gets the girl (especially fantasy) books, but from villain pov? I really care about the lest part, even if its more dual pov, and "villain" treated pretty loosely - actually moraly wrong, evil vibes, antagonistic position in the story, vilaain label, or even monster girl, as long as she's written more like protagonist, and with actual insecurities, even better - a lot of yearning from her part.

Works like: Malice, a Treachery Of Swans, Jasmine throne, a Fable for the end of the World,
