Best Lesbian Reality Shows to Binge in 2025 (Plus a Sapphic Romance You'll Love)
Looking for the best lesbian reality shows to binge in 2025? Whether you're here for real-life chemistry, queer joy, or pure sapphic drama, these series are serving everything from slow-burn tension to laugh-out-loud moments — and they're all WLW-friendly.
We’ve rounded up the hottest lesbian and Girls’ Love reality shows streaming now or coming soon, perfect for fans who crave queer authenticity, emotional depth, and a little romantic chaos.
🌈 1. The Ultimatum: Queer Love (Netflix)
If you missed it in 2023, catch up now. This spinoff of The Ultimatum features an all-queer, all-female-identifying cast. It's messy. It's emotional. It’s exactly the kind of reality chaos lesbians thrive on.
Why binge it? Unfiltered relationship drama, raw emotional honesty, and serious queer visibility on a global stage.
🎤 2. Coming Out Colton (Renewed Sapphic Edition Rumored for 2025)
While the original featured a gay male lead, insiders are hinting at a sapphic reboot that explores the coming-out journey of a queer woman in the public eye.
Why it’s exciting: Emotional storytelling, real-world pressure, and a chance to watch representation unfold on a mainstream platform.
🇹🇭 3. GAP: The Series Behind the Scenes & Cast Vlogs (YouTube)
If you’re a Thai GL fan, the drama continues off-screen. Follow the cast’s vlogs and behind-the-scenes lives — it’s basically real-life reality TV with slow-burn chemistry.
Why watch? Because GAP is the blueprint for girls’ love fans, and these off-camera moments are just as flirty and chaotic as the show.
📚 Love Sapphic Reality Shows? You’ll Fall for Unwritten by Jess Harley (available on Amazon and Kindle)
While reality shows capture love unscripted, Unwritten delivers all that same energy — plus the emotional depth you crave in a romance novel.
🔥 A scorching second-chance lesbian romance between a queer pop star and the Hollywood actress who broke her heart.
Think: fame, betrayal, emotional surrender, and very steamy tension (yes, including power dynamics and a little kink).
UNWRITTEN is perfect for fans of:
Closeted celebrity angst
Girls’ Love energy with raw emotion
WLW stories that burn slow but scorch hot
📖 Read Unwritten on Amazon
Or go back to the beginning with Second Takes, book one in the Second Chances: A Lesbian Romance series — where two actresses with history are cast in a Girls’ Love film and forced to face the past (and each other).
💡 Final Thoughts
In 2025, lesbian reality shows aren’t just trending — they’re transforming the way queer women see themselves in media. Whether you’re streaming WLW shows or diving into emotionally raw sapphic fiction, this year is all about loving loud, loving real, and loving again.

The Hottest New Lesbian Romance Books You Need to Read in 2025 by Jess Harley – Up-and-Coming American Lesbian Romance Fiction Author
If you’re searching for Lesbian Romance Books that pack emotion, heat, and heart — this is your sign to add two brand-new releases to your TBR.
The sapphic romance world is thriving, and readers in the U.S. are craving lesbian romance stories that feel real: messy, tender, and unapologetically queer. If you want books with tension, redemption, and characters you’ll ache for — Jess Harley is an emerging voice in American lesbian romance fiction you won’t want to miss.
This year, Jess launched the Second Chances Series, two standalone romances about love lost, love rewritten, and the fire that comes when women fight for what they deserve.
🎬 Second Takes by Jess Harley
📚 Book One in the Second Chances Series
💖 Slow burn. Celebrity exes. Found family. Emotional depth.
A slow-burn lesbian romance about fame, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to fade.
Tali Morgan is Hollywood’s golden girl — bold, brilliant, and always pretending she’s okay. But when she’s cast opposite her ex, the woman she never stopped loving, the cracks begin to show.
Rin Lau is elegance wrapped in armor. Years ago, Tali walked away — no closure, no warning. Now they’re forced to share scenes, cameras, and a history that never really died.
The tension? Undeniable.
The chemistry? Electric.
And one impulsive kiss sparks everything they tried to bury.
Then Tali’s world implodes: she’s named guardian to her infant niece, and suddenly, motherhood isn’t hypothetical. Rin doesn’t run. She steps in.
Forced into close quarters, the walls between them start to fall. But Hollywood has sharp teeth — and old wounds cut deep when the spotlight is watching.
💬 Perfect for fans of:
✔️ WLW celebrity love stories
✔️ Lesbian friends-to-lovers romance
✔️ Found family & forced proximity
✔️ Slow burn, angst, and redemption
📖 Read Second Takes on Amazon https://a.co/d/0TCLvhN

📚 Book Two in the Second Chances Series
🔥 Second-chance lovers. Enemies-to-lovers energy. Raw heat.
A scorching second-chance lesbian romance between a queer pop star and the woman who broke her heart — now thrown back together by fate and the industry that destroyed them.
Five years ago, rising musician Zara Taylor poured her heartbreak into the songs that made her famous — after Noa Vale, a closeted Hollywood star, walked away without a word. Now, a movie based on their love story pulls them back into each other’s orbit.
Noa’s ready to tell the truth. Zara wants nothing to do with her. But when an intimate video resurfaces, threatening everything they’ve built, their chemistry explodes into something even more dangerous — and far more addictive.
💬 Expect:
✔️ High-heat romance with BDSM undertones
✔️ Closeted celebrity angst
✔️ Messy WLW love stories
✔️ Emotional surrender & power dynamics
✔️ Women who are fierce, flawed, and fully in love

Noa’s ready to tell the truth. Zara wants nothing to do with her. But when an intimate video resurfaces, threatening everything they’ve built, their chemistry explodes into something even more dangerous — and far more addictive.
💬 Expect:
✔️ High-heat romance with BDSM undertones
✔️ Closeted celebrity angst
✔️ Messy WLW love stories
✔️ Emotional surrender & power dynamics
✔️ Women who are fierce, flawed, and fully in love

The Best Lesbian Romance Books You’ll Fall in Love With (UK Edition) by Jess Harley
If you're looking for your next sapphic obsession, you're in the right place.
Whether you're brand new to lesbian romance books or you've been devouring WLW stories for years, there’s something undeniably powerful about seeing queer love stories written with depth, heat, and honesty. And if you're in the UK and searching for emotional, character-driven lesbian fiction — with tension, tropes, and plenty of steam — I’ve got two must-reads for you.
These are books about fame, forgiveness, second chances, and the kind of chemistry that never really dies.
🎬 Second Takes by Jess Harley
📚 Book One in the Second Chances Series
💖 Slow-burn. Celebrity exes. Found family. Tender heat.
A slow-burn lesbian romance about fame, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to fade.
Tali Morgan is Hollywood’s golden girl — bold, brilliant, and always pretending she’s okay. But when she’s cast opposite her ex, the woman she never stopped loving, the cracks begin to show.
Rin Lau is elegance wrapped in armour. Years ago, Tali walked away — no closure, no warning. Now they’re forced to share scenes, cameras, and a tangled history that never really died.
The tension? Undeniable.
The chemistry? Electric.
And one impulsive kiss sparks everything they tried to bury.
Then Tali’s world implodes: she’s named guardian to her infant niece, and suddenly, motherhood isn’t hypothetical. Rin doesn’t run. She steps in.
Forced into close quarters, the walls between them start to fall. But Hollywood has sharp teeth, and old wounds cut deep — especially when the spotlight is watching.
💬 Perfect for fans of:
WLW celebrity love stories
Lesbian friends-to-lovers romance
Found family & forced proximity
Slow burn, angst, and healing
📖 Read Second Takes on Kindle UK https://amzn.eu/d/hjxMYAI
💔 Unwritten by Jess Harley
📚 Book Two in the Second Chances Series
🔥 Second chance. High-heat. Light BDSM undertones. Emotional damage.
A scorching lesbian second-chance romance between a queer pop star and the woman who broke her heart — now forced back together by the industry that tore them apart.
Five years ago, rising musician Zara Taylor poured her heartbreak into the songs that made her famous — after Noa Vale, a closeted Hollywood star, walked away without a word. Now, fate — and a film based on their past — pulls them back into each other’s orbit.
Noa’s ready to tell the truth. Zara wants nothing to do with her.
But secrets don’t stay buried long — especially when an intimate video resurfaces, threatening everything they’ve built separately… and the fragile connection still burning between them.
💬 Expect:
Closeted celebrity angst
Enemies-to-lovers energy with deep emotion
Raw chemistry and emotional surrender
Power dynamics & BDSM heat
WLW fiction where women get to be fierce, flawed, and fully in love
📖 Read Unwritten on Kindle UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FH7G6Q3...

From GL Ships to Shelf: How Lesbian Fanfiction Favorites Are Powering the Rise of Lesbian Romance in 2025
If you’ve ever fallen down the rabbit hole of AO3 or Wattpad with a cup of tea and a Clexa fic at 2AM, you’re not alone. For years, fanfiction has been the backbone of sapphic storytelling — giving queer readers the love, angst, and happy endings we couldn’t always find on screen.
But now? We’re seeing that energy spill over onto bookshelves and into Kindle Unlimited — and no one’s riding that wave better than Jess Harley, author of Second Takes and the brand-new release Unwritten.
From Fanfic Favorites to Full-Length Fiction
Whether you ship Clexa (Clarke & Lexa from The 100), Supercorp (Kara & Lena from Supergirl), or SwanQueen (Emma & Regina from Once Upon a Time), chances are you’ve found your heart broken and healed by fanfiction. These ships aren’t just popular — they’ve become cultural touchstones for a generation of queer readers.
And it’s not just Western fandoms anymore. The Thai GL boom is changing the game with couples like FreenBecky, Lingorm, and EmiBonnie delivering swoon-worthy chemistry and complex romance. Their popularity is bringing even more visibility to WLW storytelling worldwide.
Why Lesbian Fanfic Fans Are Loving Jess Harley
Jess Harley’s novels read like the best fanfiction you’ve ever found at 3AM — but polished, published, and ready to binge on your Kindle.
Second Takes is all about second chance lesbian romance with unresolved tension, emotional healing, and that sweet moment when exes realize the spark never really went out.
Unwritten, her newest release, gives us the slow-burn ache of Salu Lin, a guarded songwriter, and Noa Vale, the model-turned-actress who once broke her heart — and now might be the only one who can put it back together.
These books deliver everything fanfic readers love: familiar tropes (fake dating, forced proximity, friends to lovers), real emotion, and yes — a guaranteed sapphic happy ending.
Trending Now:
clexa-inspired romance
lesbian fanfiction turned novels
queer Kindle Unlimited reads 2025

freenbecky book recommendations

From the Screen to the Page — and into Your Heart

If you’ve ever wished your favorite ship got the ending they deserved, Harley’s books are the next best thing. Or honestly? Better.

Lesbian Romance Books 2025: Why Jess Harley Is the Name Everyone's Searching
If you're looking for your next sapphic obsession, look no further than the rising star of lesbian fiction: Jess Harley. With the breakout success of her debut Second Takes and the highly anticipated arrival of her second book Unwritten, Harley has cemented her place as one of 2025's must-read lesbian romance authors.
The Buzz Around Jess Harley
There’s a reason Unwritten just hit Amazon and immediately climbed the charts — the hype is real. Readers have been anxiously awaiting its release since Second Takes first made waves in the queer book community last year. Both novels blend laugh-out-loud moments, raw vulnerability, and the kind of chemistry that leaves you rereading your favorite scenes at 2AM.
In the sea of lesbian fiction, Harley’s stories stand out for their relatable characters, messy love, and authentic queer voice. These aren’t just love stories. They’re second chances wrapped in late-night confessions, unresolved tension, and the awkward beauty of trying again — especially when the world (or a tabloid scandal) seems against you.
What Makes Second Takes and Unwritten So Addictive?
Both novels are a perfect mix of slow burn lesbian romance and emotional payoff. In Second Takes, we meet two exes forced to work together again, navigating unresolved tension, career chaos, and the inconvenient truth that maybe the spark never went away. It’s smart, sexy, and full of the kind of heart-clenching moments fans of lesbian second chance romance crave.
Then comes Unwritten, the brand new release readers can’t stop talking about. This time, we follow Salu Lin, a guarded songwriter, and Noa Vale, the model-turned-actress who left more than just footprints on Salu’s heart. Their story unfolds with public scrutiny, betrayal, and the quiet ache of the one that got away — until fate (and a wedding) throws them back into each other’s orbit.
Keywords You’re Probably Already Googling:
best lesbian romance books 2025
second chance lesbian love story
sapphic slow burn romance
queer authors to watch
emotional lesbian fiction
lesbian romance with angst and healing
Spoiler alert: Jess Harley ticks all those boxes.
Why You Should Be Reading Jess Harley
With a talent for writing flawed, funny, fiercely real women, Harley’s novels speak to anyone who’s ever messed up, held back, or wondered if love could really find them again. Her work sits comfortably next to the likes of Casey McQuiston, Melissa Brayden, and Lee Winter, but brings a grounded voice that feels entirely her own.
Whether you're new to sapphic fiction or have devoured every lesbian romance novel on Kindle Unlimited, Harley is the name you’ll want to remember in 2025. Start with Second Takes. Then dive into Unwritten, her newest and most talked-about release.
Now trending on Amazon: Unwritten by Jess Harley — download it today and see why everyone’s talking about the queen of sapphic second chances.

Why Second Takes and Kindle Unlimited Matter for Lesbian Fiction Readers
Hey readers! 🌈✨
If you love lesbian romance, second chances, and characters who don’t always get it right the first time, you’ll want to check out my novel Second Takes — now available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited: https://a.co/d/iYwJ8gs
This book is the first in my Second Chances Collection: Lesbian Romance Series, and it dives into the messy, complicated, but beautiful journey of two women finding their way back to each other — even when the past is hard to forgive.
But this post isn’t just about my book. I want to take a moment to talk about how Kindle Unlimited (KU) plays a huge role for lesbian fiction and indie authors like me.
Why KU Is So Important for Our Community
🔹 Visibility: Lesbian romance is still underrepresented in mainstream publishing. KU gives queer stories a better chance of being discovered by readers who are actively looking for them.
🔹 Support: Every page you read through KU supports indie authors financially. You may not pay extra, but your reading time helps authors like me keep creating.
🔹 Accessibility: For readers on a budget, KU offers access to a growing library of sapphic stories without the pressure of buying each book outright.
So if you’re subscribed to KU and haven’t yet dived into Second Takes, I’d love for you to give it a read — and if you’ve already read it, thank you for supporting indie lesbian fiction. Your time, your reviews, and your love for these characters mean everything.
🩷 Here’s that link again: https://a.co/d/iYwJ8gs
Let’s keep queer love stories alive, visible, and thriving. 💕

Looking for Your Next Kindle Unlimited Lesbian Romance? Meet Second Takes by Jess Harley
Hey romance lovers!
If you're hunting for your next binge-worthy Kindle Unlimited lesbian romance, let me introduce you to Second Takes—a heartfelt, slow-burn second-chance love story that’s already turning readers into fans of Tali and Ria.
Tali Morgan is Hollywood’s golden girl — bold, brilliant, and always pretending she’s okay. But when she’s cast in a buzzy new film opposite her ex, the woman she never stopped loving, the cracks begin to show.
Rin Lau is elegance wrapped in armor. Years ago, Tali left her behind — no closure, no warning. Now they’re forced to work together, sharing scenes, cameras, and history that never really died.
The tension is undeniable.
The chemistry is still electric.
And when one impulsive kiss sparks back everything they tried to bury… nothing stays scripted for long.
Then Tali’s world implodes: she's named guardian to her infant niece, and suddenly, motherhood is no longer hypothetical. Rin, shockingly, doesn’t run. She steps in.
Forced into close quarters, the walls between them start to fall. But Hollywood has sharp teeth, and old wounds cut deeper when the spotlight is watching.
Can two women with a history of leaving learn how to stay?
Second Takes is an emotional, slow-burn WLW lesbian romance filled with longing,
✨ Why readers are loving Second Takes:
Second-chance romance done right
Smart, emotionally complex sapphic leads
Slow-burn with high payoff
Queer love without compromise
FREE to read on Kindle Unlimited
Whether you’re curled up for a weekend read or looking to escape into a romance that feels real, Second Takes delivers all the feels. It’s the first in my Second Chances Collection, a series of standalone sapphic love stories with heart, heat, and hope.
👉 If you're a fan of Kindle Unlimited lesbian romance, this one belongs on your TBR.
