A Steamy Romp with Heart and Humor

5 out of 5 stars

I went into A Lesbian’s Guide to Women by Erica Lee expecting a fun, no-strings-attached romance, but I got so much more than that. This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster with its steamy scenes and surprising depth. The premise may sound like your typical “fling with no commitment” story, but trust me, it is anything but. Annalise Finch and Brinley Adams may have started with a simple arrangement, but what unfolds is a journey of self-discovery, hilarious meta moments, and heartwarming revelations.

One of the things that struck me the most was the emotional vulnerability woven into the steamy plot. Yes, A Lesbian’s Guide to Women is definitely one of the steamiest sapphic books I’ve read, but it’s also filled with raw emotion. The moments when Annalise begins questioning her identity and opening herself up to new possibilities tugged at my heartstrings. I love a good story about personal growth (especially later-in-life sexuality realizations), and this one is delivered in spades. One moment I have tears rolling down my cheeks because of the scenes with Analise and her ex (or her friend, or her mom) where they reveal some stuff about her and she’s losing her mind trying to figure out what they mean! To moments where I was tearing up because of the growth of the happiness. It’s always so fulfilling to see characters realize who they truly are, no matter how unexpected or overdue that moment might be.

And can we just talk about Lori Prince? She absolutely slayed the narration! I didn’t think it was possible, but she made this steamy book even steamier. Every character felt alive, and her delivery of the witty, self-aware humor had me laughing out loud—especially during that brilliant meta-joke about the dreaded third-act breakup. You could tell she was having as much fun as I was, and it added a whole new level to the experience. I always look for Lori Prince when seeking new sapphic romances, and if you do the same, you know exactly what I mean.

Overall, I LOVED this book. It’s not just a romance; it’s a celebration of identity, discovery, and humor wrapped up in a sizzling package. If you’re looking for a sapphic romance that’s as heartwarming as it is steamy, this one is a must-listen!

Book Description:

Annalise Finch is content – she has a job she enjoys, lives close to her family and friends, and spends most Wednesday nights drinking wine with her grandma. According to her grandma, though, she has lost her sparkle, and the only solution is to join a site to hook up with other women. The only problem (aside from a meddling grandma with a dirty mind) is Annalise doesn’t like women. At least, that’s what she always thought, but when she meets Brinley Adams, she starts to question everything.

Brinley Adams loves women, but not commitment. She is more than happy picking up ladies at the bar she works at to have a little fun. When a hot blonde walks into her bar and completely fails to go home with the woman she came with, what choice does Brinley have but to take her under her wings?

Their arrangement is perfect – Brinley will teach Annalise everything she knows about pleasing a woman, and in turn, Brinley gets to have a little fun herself. Since neither of them are interested in any sort of commitment, what could possibly go wrong? It’s not like this is a romantic comedy.
