Looking for scifi or fantasy books with both great romance and great story. I feel I often find books that have one but not both

Books I loved:

-The Locked Tomb series

- Priory of the orange tree

- the raven and the reindeer

- some desperate glory

Books I liked:

- Criers war (and sequel)

- the incandescent

- no shelter beyond the stars

- legends and lattes

- unworthy, blacksea odyssey

Books I dnfed

- can't spell treason without tea

- breaking legacies

Do y’all think WLW slow burns hit differently emotionally than other romances? For me it does because they often emphasize deep emotional intimacy, shared vulnerability, and profound longing over immediate physical gratification. The "burn" feels more intense due to nuanced character development and the gradual, safe building of trust for me? But I’ll love to hear your thoughts and opinions. And to recommend some good wlwbooks since I never read much of them growing up because of my background lol❤️😭.

Be it the MC or the love interest

Hi! I’ve honestly been kind of embarrassed to ask this, especially because I can’t really find any posts about it anywhere, but does anyone know of any sapphic romance novels where one or both of the women squirt during the sex scenes? Any recommendations would be appreciated 😭

I’ve been putting this off for months out of embarrassment, but I’m looking for romance novels involving a non-zero amount of fisting.

There’s no tag for this on romance.io, and searching the sub gives no results.

i rarely come across WLW films that really eats when it comes to psychological horror, thats why i started thinking that maybe books would have more to offer in this genre. i’d love to know more stories that have that unsettling, psychological tension while still centering WLW characters and relationships. if anyone has recommendations I’d really appreciate them!

Hi, this is a weird request so this is a throw away account.

But I was flipping through Ramona Riley and it seems like Ramona is having sex with multiple different women while also being into Dylan, is that the case? I need to know because if so it's not something I can get into. Like I'm fine if people have multiple partners but that's not the kind of spice and romance I like to read. I'm hoping before I return it I could get a few insiders to tell me if that's the case. I flip through books because I have very annoyingly specific tastes and don't want to get invested just to be disappointed. I know this is a weird ask and I might be seen as weird but I really need to know.

Maybe of the more eerie and dystopian variety

Hey! I'm looking for a book with a mute main character.

I know it's already very specific, but if it can also be dual POV is will be even better.
Thanks!!

I’m open to basically anything as long as there is a happy ending with the main couple ending up together. I’d prefer contemporary romance, but genre ones are fine.

Can someone PLEASE recommend some really good, underrated sapphic books on Booktok? I'd prefer the protagonists not to be businesswomen, doctors, or teenagers, but if they are, that's fine too. I prefer books with queer coming-out themes, girls in college, and some steamy scenes (but not mandatory), it can be dark as well, or a book that makes me cry. I'm not a fan of books set in small towns, but honestly, I haven't found anything I like, so I'll try anything. Thank youuu!

Hi I just literally finished every book from Those Who Wait. I read some of the posts about it and I know I have a slightly hot take about how I still prefer the TWW ending over MR.

While reading, I LOVED Midnight Rain so much. The angst was SCRUMPTIOUS. The role dynamics reversed was so refreshing, especially with Sutton being the one to hold the brakes on their relationship. I loved how MR Charlotte has turned out, the pining and yearning she had was undeniable.

BUT knowing how their life had become with reading TWW and FaaD? I just have that sense of sadness. They had two daughters, Charlotte has missed the journey of Sutton’s pregnancy, and moments of her life of being a parent to a newborn. And one of the things I LOVED about Charlotte was her ambition. Her whole character revolved about her knowing at such a young age and never stopping to get that ever since. Being the president like her grandmother was her only dream. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely understand MR Charlotte’s reasonings of not wanting to run anymore, and maybe the way Haley Cass wrote it was to really tie up this whole book’s premise that this was just an alternate universe of a what-if scenario. The MR ending was good, but it was also why it held me back from making it my top fave among the series.

I know TWW/FaaD is the canon one, but being MR the last one I read just left me in a melancholic mood.

(PS I love Regan and Charlotte’s dynamic in The Snowball Effect so thinking about Midnight Rain and that it never happened has been a bummer of some sort too)

I just want some conversations about this bc my girlfriend is still on TWW and I have lots of emotions after finishing the epilogue. Love to her some of your contrasting insights also!

Hello, my small town library doesn’t carry many of the wlw books that I am interested in reading, and there is a small section in my libby app that I have already gone through.

What resources do you use to borrow/read ebooks?

I have this challenge I set up for myself to finish 26 books before the end of 2026 and I’m seeing a reoccurring theme in what I read.

I want to read something a little more out of my usual. I currently read a lot of dark romance but I’ve recently been craving a cuter, more lighthearted story. Bonus if it’s set in a fantasy world. So, if anyone has any recommendations, aggressively chuck them at me 🤍

Think dorky characters, fem4fem, masc4fem, masc4masc. I just want adorable lesbian characters.

i've been scavenging all over the internet for this trope. if anyone has any recommendations , i'd appreciate it sm ❤️
