12 spicy sapphic romances for your first FF read
The MM hype is far from over, but FF is well overdue its moment in the smut spotlight.
Darlings, we need to talk about something. MM romance has been having its (much deserved) moment. Shane and Ilya dismantling our emotions on the ice in Heated Rivalry. The chaotic, explicit glory of For the Fans. Nico and Saint in God of Fury making us question everything we thought we knew about our reading preferences. MM smut has stormed BookTok, stolen our hearts, and we're still not over it.
But FF romance? FF romance is quietly, urgently, undeniably due its era. And if you think sapphic smut always means softer, sweeter, or less scorching… oh, treasure. You are so delightfully wrong.
We've rounded up 12 spicy FF reads that run the full spectrum from slow-burn, high-emotion to absolutely, unapologetically feral. Your first foray starts here.
Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur
🌶️🌶️🌶️
Fake dating, Pride and Prejudice energy, and a grumpy/sunshine pairing so combustible it's basically a fire hazard. Prickly Darcy and relentlessly starry-eyed Elle build tension so slowly and so deliciously that when their arrangement finally, gloriously snaps, the payoff is everything. Reviewers ran out of plus signs rating the spicy scenes (A++++++ was the consensus), and honestly? Same. A perfect starting point if you like your heat served alongside genuinely enormous romantic feelings.

Can We Skip to the Good Part? by Melissa Brayden
🌶️🌶️🌶️
The forbidden element here is delicious. Max and Ella navigate a simmering book-club flirtation complicated by one small detail: she's the best friend's ex. I’ve heard smut girlies describing the intimate scenes as ‘long and unhurried,’ which is peak praise and entirely earned. Brayden writes emotional depth and heat in perfect proportion: found family, new beginnings, and love scenes that linger for days after you finish.

Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake
🌶️🌶️🌶️
Delilah Green absolutely does care, as it turns out: specifically about Claire, the type-A single mum she had absolutely no intention of falling for at her estranged sister's wedding. Their first time together involves a Literary Witches Oracle tarot deck, and I am absolutely adding that to my next self-care night. Enemies-to-lovers with genuine emotional depth, and ‘it's just sex’ has never once in history stayed just sex.

Windburn by Milena McKay
🌶️🌶️🌶️
Before Rhiannon and Prudence have even properly met, they're sharing magically-connected dreams so vivid they blur at the edges: precisely the kind of fated-bond slow burn that should be available on prescription. Set against a witchy backdrop with family-feud tension and a delicious age gap, this one builds like a spell and pays off like a curse you'd gladly accept. Hauntingly, beautifully good.

The Witch's Pet by Tiana Warner
🌶️🌶️🌶️
The 118-year age gap should be the headline, darlings, but it's the essence-feeding ritual that will actually undo you. Julia the witch must drain Hannah's life force to survive, and every feeding grows more intimate, more urgent, more impossible to look away from. The forest scene in particular. Soul bond, enemies-to-lovers, and a morally grey FMC you'll be defending aggressively in the group chat. Tiana called it her spiciest book to date. She wasn’t lying.

Deliverance by Katelyn Taylor
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Dark academia, a Puritan-coded secret society, and two stepsisters who absolutely cannot keep their hands off each other despite every rule saying otherwise. Seventeen spicy scenes and yearning so deep it contains as-yet-undiscovered species. A note: some M/F scenes sit alongside the sapphic content. Proceed accordingly and enthusiastically.

The Other Side by C. Hebert
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
A voodoo bayou witch. The literal goddess of the underworld. A deal that gets very, very complicated. Iris-Marie and Cypress have a power-play dynamic so charged that smut girlies said they'd have signed a blood contract mid-scene without a second thought. Plus shadow magic gets hot in ways that defy easy description. Dark, divine, and deeply weird in the most irresistible way. I’d sign the contract too. Obviously.

Rink Rash by Santana Knox
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Roller derby rivals with D/s dynamics, a collaring scene that will live rent-free in your nervous system (‘You put this collar on and you are mine’), and a shoe-straps scene you will understand entirely the moment you get there, but not a second before. Dark, possessive, found-family sports romance that goes places most books simply don't dare. Five out of five chilis and absolutely no notes.

Wicked Depths by Melissa McSherry
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Dragon Queen Nyxara has Sea Witch Vaela captive, until Vaela turns the tables in a scene that reads like a Maleficent × Ursula fantasy made devastatingly, deliciously real. The spice that follows the line ‘Let me show you how a siren devours a queen’ broke BookTok and it will break you too, darling. Relentless captor/prisoner tension, monstrous beauty, and enemies-to-lovers energy so charged it's practically elemental. Utterly feral from page one.

Sadist by Chaos Davie
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Contract killer Theo and tech heiress Octavia are a powder keg of control, chaos, and deeply questionable decisions in the absolute best way. BDSM and blood play delivered with dark humour and genuine emotional intelligence. Dark, dirty, morally complicated, and entirely impossible to put down. Not for the faint-hearted. Very much for the dark romance smut girlies.

Architecti by Ruby Roe
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Professor Mercedes Midnight. Lucy Corvine: the devil's daughter. A soul contract with a ticking clock and candlelit library encounters that almost broke my spice scale. The forbidden professor-student dynamic crackles with dark academia tension, every stolen moment catastrophically high-stakes because it genuinely is. Ends on a cliffhanger that will make you furious in the most pleasurable way imaginable. You have been warned, darling (but read immediately anyway).
A Little Sin by Rawnie Sabor
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Pride fiend Reyna and corporate perfectionist Violet, stranded in a cabin, with one proposal on the table: surrender control. What follows is an intensely explicit, emotionally intelligent exploration of D/s dynamics that is cathartic in ways that go far beyond the physical. A content note for eating disorder themes applies here. Otherwise, buckle up, darling. This one does exactly, magnificently what it says on the tin.

What our guests are saying about their stay
Pure magic! From the moment we arrived at the most breathtaking villa nestled in the rolling Tuscan hills, Meagan made sure every detail felt like it had been curated straight out of an Italian dream.
I attended the February Caribbean reading retreat and wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars! This was the best vacation I could have imagined. Not only was the resort amazing, the conversation and the ladies could not have been better.
I had such a lovely time on my retreat to Sicily. Megan is an amazing host who really looked after all of the group and made the trip feel like a fab holiday with friends. I went alone and everyone was lovely - I will happily book again next year. Book! You won't regret it.
