Super Spicy Lesbian Novels (with an actual story!)

items We really want the smut, but need to feel invested in the characters and the story to really get the juices flowing! These books hit the mark, in different ways, providing a nice balance between the ‘feels’ and eye-popping sex scenes. Many lesbian er... We gals want the business, it just often takes us many more paragraphs to get there. I feel like the books in this list are written for the female audience to enjoy. Also, I suggest NOT reading any of these in public. Happy reading! and Happy Endings!
Spicy with extra spice! 100% erotica with a bit of story to keep things more interesting. I loved that this book included characters over 50 and plus-sized women.
The Club
ummm…lots of kink and sex. lots! Certainly erotic, butch/femme, BDSM, and a romance with interesting characters, setting, and a fairly well paced and beautifully written story. I haven't read ‘Promise Me’ yet, the second book in this series, but I ca...
Trust In Me
um, a ‘choose your own adventure’ book starring yourself?? yes please! You are on a break from your partner and you have one more night of single freedom left. You are at a party filled with ladies who are all there for the same thing… sex. Each ‘adventure’ you choose is def 100% hot and steamy, and the book ends. So you back up to your last choice, and choose differently. And experience another adventure. again… yes please!
Party Favors
The premise is standard fare… a sex therapist (who is obv really good at sex) has sworn off relationships and is uncomfortable being vulnerable. Well, we all know where this is going, but the story is quite good! And lots of sex. lots and lots. :)
The Sex Therapist Next Door
This is interesting… a story-driven book, it's more about one woman's self-actualization that it is about romance between women. It takes place in 1920's, about a black lesbian in NY who is married to a man who is also gay. The story is heartbreaking and deep, but there are lots and lots of hot and graphic sexy scenes.
Masquerade
BDSM with purpose :) The sex scenes are actually important to the story, and this story is ultimately about romance and connection. The story is great and the girl-on-girl spice is even better!
Principle Decisions
Just have time for a quickie?? This book is a collection of hot wlw short stories from several different authors. There's a little something for everyone here, and you'll find your favorites to bookmark for later ;) I love that there is tons of representation among these 11 stories…. women of color, bisexual women, mature women and women with disabilities. You might even find a new favorite author in the mix! Best of all, these stories are 100% erotica, just in case I forgot to mention that.
Laid Bare: A Collection of Erotic Lesbian Stories
A Vampire lesbian romance? Sign me up! The ‘world’ in this book is brutal and violent, so if you prefer happy rainbows and 100% consensual sex, this is not the book for you. It sits on the edge of moral… but we are talking about fantasy here! Supercharged and dark enemies to lovers story and lots of hot lesbian sex. check!
Contract Bound
Enemies to lovers on steroids. Steamy lesbian sex, and decent story. In my honest opinion, reading these books (I loved them!) was like watching Survivor. I just put my intelligence on the backburner for a moment and enjoyed the adventure. The writing style was not 100% my thing, but I took it for what it was. If you ... The order would be Bk1: A Game of Hearts and Heists Bk0: A Game of Love and Hate Bk2: A Game of Romance and Ruin Bk3: A Game of Deceit and Desire
A Game of Hearts and Heists
The spice doesn't come until mid-way through the book, but it is top-notch and plentiful! Amazing writing and even better story. It's a sapphic western romance… but please don't let the genre put you off. You must read this immediately!! There is a sequel called Bloom Town; Exodus… also a must-read :) sorry, I couldn't find this on bookshop.org, so this is an amazon link.

Bloom Town: Genesis
ummm… this one might fall into the category called ‘porn.’ …like 95% sex, 5% story, but the story keeps it interesting! Seriously though, lesbian erotica meant for lesbians has emotional struggle and growth as one theme, and this book does have this. It's not only about sexual slavery and boobs. You know, for the straight men.
Nights of Silk and Sapphire
Lots of spice, and this book shows that BDSM should be about consent, pleasure and respect. This is the second novella about Cass and Mistress's meeting and play time. (from Cass' perspective). The first book is called ‘Becoming’ as told from Mistres...
Fifty Shades of Pink: An LA Lovers Novella
Typical Ice Queen narrative. Shockingly, the storyline was awesome, the chemistry and romance were fun and oooooh so spicy! Admittedly, I loved this book so much, I started to look for what everyone else was saying, and there is clear community consensus, this is a well loved book. The overarching theme of the reveiws" ‘WOW!’ … C.W.Elliot where did you come from, and what are you writing next?? sorry, I couldn't find this on bookshop.org, so this is an amazon link.

Tangled Threads (The Unraveled Series)
Okay, okay, I admit it, I haven't read this yet. But I had to include it because I loved the first book in this series so much, and I will buy this for myself for Christmas. After reading other reviews, it appears that Lenora and Sol's relationship is getting even better (and more spicy) and this book is a true continuation of the masterpiece that preceded it. sorry, I couldn't find this on bookshop.org, so this is an amazon link.

When It All Comes Undone (The Unraveled Series)
An age-gap lesbian romance story, and certainly the 'lightest; book on this list. A rather winding and complicated story, this is the focus of the book. I felt like I was reading a storyline out of a soap opera. Very dramatic :) There is a lot of spice, so get out your bookmarks ladies! But I felt like the spice is not the focus. It's a great book.
