A curated reading list for lovers of sapphic romance — slow burns, second chances, friends-to-lovers, and more. We lead with Electric Touch by Christie Browne, published right here at House of Adlai, and follow with the best companion reads in the genre.
Nadia Kwan has spent years playing it safe. After a divorce that left her questioning everything, she's ready to take risks — starting with a reckless night at a rooftop party. Jade Rivers is a fitness entrepreneur, ex-dancer, and the last person who needs another complication. Their arrangement is simple: no strings, no feelings. But raw passion has a way of writing its own rules.
As their no-strings agreement turns into something undeniable, Nadia becomes the exception Jade never saw coming. Emotionally charged, steamy, and deeply romantic — Electric Touch is slow-burn sapphic romance at its best.
These nine titles pair well with Electric Touch — from Harper Bliss's lush emotional romances to Clare Lydon's punchy contemporary charm and Jae's patient slow burns.
