7 spicy reads that feel like Bridgerton
Craving an improper escape to the ton, darling? Try these 7 delicious reads that feel like Bridgerton.
Dearest (not so) gentle reader… How fast did you get through those first four episodes of Bridgerton Season 4? It’s giving spicy Cinderella and I’m living for the conversations about female pleasure at every age.
If you’ve been swooning over that Regency spice since Season 1, you won’t need me to nudge you into Julia Quinn’s full series. But if you want to keep any endings a surprise (or you’re craving more), I have just the smut for you. You might just find your diamond of the reading season, darling.
My Season of Scandal - Julie Anne Long
🌶️🌶️.5
If you can’t get enough of those stolen glances that you know turn into wild nights and love the glittering pressure cooker vibe of the ton, this will hit the spot. Dominic and Catherine give Daphne and Simon vibes in the best way, all sharp wit and simmering, take-me-on-the-floor tension. It’s a slow ache that makes every finger brush feel scandalous… until the bedroom door finally opens. Polite by day, deliciously improper by night.
Jilted in January - Cara Maxwell
🌶️🌶️
Coaches. Couches. Colin and Penelope’s scenes had me in a chokehold. But imagine if the mystery wasn’t who she was, but who he’d lost? Jilted in January gives you just that, with another fated pair in forced proximity who fight their feelings until they can’t anymore. Lighter on spice, but still a delicious slow burn that will satisfy your cravings for second-chance romance and a high-society scandal.

The Wolf and the Wildflower - Stacy Reid
🌶️🌶️🌶️.5
When I tell you Lady Whistledown couldn’t handle these secrets… James and Jules are both hiding something when they’re thrown together as patient and psychologist. If you yearn for MMCs on the animalistic side you won’t be disappointed. He’s everything a Duke shouldn’t be and more. The intense, primal chemistry and forced proximity in this truly wild story will either have you reaching for your fan or your bedside drawer.

Marriage & Masti - Nisha Sharma
🌶️🌶️.5
Picture Bridgerton’s matchmaking chaos, lavish weddings and super-involved families, but in a modern, South Asian setting. The chemistry is playful and undeniable, the stakes feel social and emotional rather than life-or-death, and the spice is confident and joyful. Marriage & Masti delivers all the glamour, gossip and heat of the ton, just with fewer corsets. And the moment with the balcony door? I’m gone.
Duke with a Reputation - Scarlett Scott
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
In the rake stakes, Benedict Bridgerton has nothing on the Duke of Brandon. He founded a not-so-secret society of rogue nobility who flout polite norms and indulge in debauchery. But he wasn’t expecting to meet his match in widowed Lottie. She’s sexually empowered and only wants him for the pleasure she knows he can give her. You’ll need to loosen your corset for the spice in this one, darling

One Golden Summer - Carley Fortune
🌶️🌶️.5
Historical? No. But the emotional journey is pure Bridgerton, darling. That slow realisation that the person who feels like home might also be the one who can unravel you and reach the depths of your desire. Alice and Charlie give us delicious friends-to-lovers tension and Nan brings a little Queen Charlotte energy–unapologetically honest and iconic. If relatable characters make you feel more immersed, you’ll feel the heat in all the right places when it hits.
Bride - Ali Hazelwood
🌶️🌶️🌶️
Marriage of convenience. Enemies to lovers. Sumptuous slow burn. Everything you loved about Anthony and Kate in Season 2, but with a paranormal twist. Misery and Lowe marry to keep the peace between vampires and werewolves, not knowing that they’re fated mates. It delivers on heat, teeth and feral energy, as well as a little mystery. If you can’t resist lovers who consume each other, mind, body and soul, sink your teeth into this.

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.
