Your next favorite slow-burn, second-chance love story is calling...

Hi readers! I’m Jess Harley—writer of angst, awkwardness, and a good old-fashioned yearning stare across a crowded room.

If you’ve landed here searching for lesbian romance books, welcome. You’re clearly someone of taste. Whether you’re in your cozy-reading era, your emotionally-devastated-by-sapphics phase, or just casually hunting for your next WLW read, I’ve got you.

Let me introduce you to my novel, share a few favorite lesbian romance reads, and offer some recommendations that belong on every queer bookshelf.

💬 What I Write: Lesbian Romance, With a Twist
My sapphic debut, Second Takes, is all about two actresses who once broke each other’s hearts—and now have to fake-smile their way through filming a spy movie together... while co-parenting a baby. Yes, there’s unresolved tension. Yes, there’s a slow-burn. And yes, there’s a dramatic monologue or two.

It’s a lesbian romance for readers who love:

Second chances (but make it painfully emotional)

Found family (with a baby twist)

Longing, banter, and fake professionalism

Queer joy with a side of existential crisis

If you’ve ever wanted to scream "Just kiss already!" at a fictional couple, you’re my people.

📚 Some Favorite Lesbian Romance Books
While you're here, let me be your sapphic book dealer. Here are a few lesbian romance books I love and recommend:

Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake
Chaotic bisexual meets uptight perfectionist. Banter, heat, and a whole lot of heart.

Mangos and Mistletoe by Adriana Herrera
Dominican pastry chef. Scottish rival. Christmas baking competition. What’s not to love?

Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner
The slowest of burns between a Hollywood power player and her assistant.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Not technically romance genre—but a legendary, emotionally rich story about queer love and Hollywood secrets.

And of course the sensational new title in lesbian romance - Second Takes by Jess Harley!

🛒 Searching for Lesbian Romance on Amazon?
If you often search for things like lesbian romance books, sapphic love stories, or WLW slow burn, those are the exact kinds of stories I write and love to read. So if that’s your jam, check out Second Takes and let me know what you think.

Thai GL News spreads faster than a scandal in Mayfair, my dear reader—and what an enchanting scandal it is. The rise of Thai GL (Girls’ Love) dramas has transformed this once-whispered genre into the talk of every glittering salon. In true Bridgerton fashion, it is not enough to simply admire these series from afar; one must observe, adore, and perhaps even ship one’s favorite couples with all the zeal of high society matchmaking.

Thai GL News: The Season’s Most Eligible Debuts

The trailers alone have become social sensations, watched millions of times and igniting a shipping mania worthy of Lady Whistledown’s quill.

Only You — Lingling Kwong and Orm Kornaphat (LingOrm) dazzle as a bodyguard and an idol whose hearts refuse to behave.

Harmony Secret — Heiresses collide in love and rivalry while chasing a coveted Duty-Free contract.

Whale Store XOXO — Cozy, honey-sweet romance between a grocery heir and a loyal customer.

4 Elements Series (Fire • Air • Water • Earth) — Freen Sarocha, Becky Armstrong, Engfa Waraha, Charlotte Austin, and more bring elemental power to love stories.

Player The Series — Romantic comedy sparkle featuring Ice Amana, Memi Muanfun, Grace Harper, and NingNing Marika.

Girl Rules — GMMTV’s sweeping anthology, weaving friendships and romances with Namtan Tipnaree, Film Rachanun, Milk Pansa, Love Pattranite, and more.

Cranium — FreenBecky return with a fresh series already stirring fervent speculation and international attention.

Denied Love, Remain, Roller Coaster, Love Design, Somewhere Somehow, Queendom — From rivalries to body-swap hijinks to heartfelt drama, there’s a Thai GL for every mood.

Why 2025 Is Thai GL’s Grand Regency Season

Production houses such as Channel 3, GMMTV, Idol Factory, COPY A BANGKOK, and WeTV are investing in richer scripts, sumptuous visuals, and leading ladies with undeniable chemistry. The result? Thai GL now stands not in the corner of the ballroom, but in the very center—commanding every gaze. Fans on Reddit even declare: “Thailand is throwing GLs at us from every direction—and we are here for it.”

A Final Note from Your Devoted Blog-mistress

Dearest gentle readers, the Thai GL News of 2025 is clear: this is the season of sapphic splendor. Whether you prefer enemies-to-lovers tension, tender slow-burns, or cozy slice-of-life charm, there is a Thai GL debut to sweep you off your feet.

And should your taste extend to fictional lesbian romance and romantic comedy in book form, may I introduce Jess Harley, author of The Soft Kind (a five-star lesbian rom-com delight), Second Takes (a romantic drama about ex's on a GL set), Unwritten (a romance about rock-stars, actresses and betrayal) and Accidentally Yours (a sparkling fake-dating romp out soon). All are available on Amazon globally and Kindle of course. Just search book name and Jess Harley. If you adore witty banter, emotional swoons, and happily-ever-afters, get my books post-haste—they are the perfect companion to your next Thai GL binge.

Dear Fellow Book Lovers,

Time for some exciting lesbian book news! 2025 is already shaping up to be a big year for sapphic romance readers, because we’ve officially launched the new series Sapphic Books. Think of it as a cozy little bookshelf where you’ll find heartfelt, funny, sometimes messy, always tender lesbian love stories.

We’re building this brand as a home for every kind of sapphic reader—whether you love slow-burn angst, fluffy romcoms, or thoughtful, emotional reads that stay with you long after the last page. Here’s a quick look at what’s already out in the world, plus a sneak peek at what’s next.

Unwritten

The one that started it all—a slow-burn lesbian romance that had readers swooning, sighing, and (occasionally) yelling at their Kindle to “just kiss already!” If you’re into yearning, tender friendships that grow into something deeper, this one deserves a spot on your nightstand.

Second Takes

Because love doesn’t always get it right the first time. This book gives you witty banter, messy breakups, and the delicious tension of second chances. It’s a reminder that sometimes, coming back together is even better than the first time around.

The Soft Kind

Reader favorite alert! This one is exactly what it says on the cover: A soft, gentle, romantic comedy. A slow, sweet sapphic love story that feels like a warm blanket and a cup of tea. Definitely the go-to recommendation if you like your romances tender and low-drama.

⭐ GL Take 1

Something a little meta—a peek into the world of GL (Girls’ Love) media with a playful nod to fandom culture, first crushes, and how art imitates life (and love). A love letter to the sapphic fandom itself, wrapped up in a romance you’ll root for.

Coming Soon in Sapphic Books
🌸 The Quiet Love (2025 Release)

This one is very close to my heart: a neurodivergent lesbian soft romance that explores connection at a quieter, slower rhythm. It’s about finding someone who sees you fully, without judgment, and loves you exactly as you are. Think subtle glances, patient conversations, and intimacy that unfolds like a slow sunrise. Keep an eye out—it’s going to be something special.

So that’s the roundup for now. More books are waiting behind the curtain, and Sapphic Books is only just getting started. If you’re looking for your next romance binge, or just want to keep up with the latest lesbian book news, you’ve come to the right place.
