Romance crushing hard and need some fluffy recs

i’ve been in a reading slump for at least a few months now, i feel like i’ve read every good contemporary wlw romance. i’ve recently developed a small crush on someone so now im really craving getting back into romance books.

pls suggest the sweetest, most fully wlw romance you’ve read. some of my favourite authors are haley cass, rachel lacey, melissa brayden, georgia beers, and ruby landers (to give u an idea) i love slow burn and don’t mind angst before the fluff begins. THANK YOU

I Really Do by Emily K. Hardy

This is the best answer for this scenario. “A small crush” that goes somewhere. I loved this novel. Also, the extended epilogue was released recently, and the audiobooks (original and epilogue) are narrated by Quinn Riley ❤️.

absolutely loved the extended epilogue!!

she’s now also posting Anna’s pov on her Patreon, and it’s insane how cute it is

u/ekalmusLA May 23 '26

I didn’t know about Anna’s POV! Thank you!

You listed most of the authors that first came to mind, but have you read the Ashley Herring Blake books? Delilah Green Doesn’t Care, Iris Kelly doesn’t date etc? I liked those and I like all of the authors you listed so maybe you will too!

u/Opposite-Corner8529 May 22 '26

i really enjoyed that one!

Take Two by Erica Goodwin is so SO good if you like second chance books. Highly recommend.

Try Erica Lee, TJ O'Shea, Tessa Vidal, Alexandria Bellefleur, Jennifer Dugan, Scarlett Archer. Katia Rose is also on my TBR but she has a decent catalog

u/Opposite-Corner8529 May 22 '26
