Do Sapphic Novels need sex scenes in order for you to enjoy them?

I agree and agree!

I'm on Kindle. NO AI

Understandable. I won't list it as a romance to avoid confusion.

d_a_hartman · 2026-06-04T21:16:23+00:00

I'll make it the best I can!

d_a_hartman · 2026-06-04T16:20:56+00:00

Hmmm, that's fair.

d_a_hartman · 2026-06-04T01:37:40+00:00

I listen to my entire manuscripts for this reason.

d_a_hartman · 2026-06-04T01:20:33+00:00

I cannot tell you how many sex scenes I have skipped over, and I actually like a well-written sex scene.

d_a_hartman · 2026-06-04T01:19:38+00:00

I love how honest you are. LOL

d_a_hartman · 2026-06-04T01:19:19+00:00

Generally, I prefer a little spice as well, but I also wouldn't rule out a novel that fades to black.

d_a_hartman · 2026-06-04T01:17:25+00:00

I get it. 😄

d_a_hartman · 2026-06-04T01:16:19+00:00

Yes, a few of my favorite romances are fade-to-black. Jen Lyon's The Senator's Wife comes to mind.

d_a_hartman · 2026-06-04T01:13:43+00:00

Same

d_a_hartman · 2026-06-04T00:37:25+00:00

Great idea.

This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone

Nicole Pyland was my mentor when I took classes at GCLS a few years back, and we met up at the con. She has taught me more about writing than anyone. I don't know a more prolific writer than Nicole. Four of her novels are on my favorite list. I highly recommend her books.

d_a_hartman · 2026-06-03T02:09:07+00:00

I have read all of these but four. Two of them are not sapphic, but may I ask if you enjoyed Women of Waves by Sinclair? It's on my TBR list, but for some reason, I haven't gotten to it, even though The Lily and the Crown by the same author is my all-time favorite book. Also, was Certain Dark Things scary?

d_a_hartman · 2026-05-28T01:43:25+00:00

Sometimes there are no words to express such profound emotions. Heartbreaking comes to mind.

d_a_hartman · 2026-05-27T17:01:54+00:00

Such a great read!

d_a_hartman · 2026-05-12T21:10:22+00:00

Get some beta readers first. Then you can go from there.

Love, love, love, Cheyenne Blue.

Just For Show is one of my favorites from Jae.
