Gentle Femdom-ish (MF)
MF romance novels where she dommes a little bit... or a lot. 😅 Contemporary and historical.

oh my God.. YESS!!! I have been looking for something like this for ages. I love seeing femdom represented. Femdom fetish books arent really my thing but this list looks like it has a lot of general rep too! Ive always found it hard to find femdom rep in a book that wasn't straight up smut from start to finish, so this is like stumbling upon a gigantic treasure trove. Thanks for making this!

I am with you 100% (obviously)! 😅 A few of these are more full-on, but it's probably clear from the descriptions which those are. The rest, it's a scene or two or an overall sexual dynamic as opposed to a full BDSM kink. If you know of any books that aren't on here, always happy to have other recs!
Will do! ^-^
Okay, here we go:
- Natural Law (Nature of Desire) by Joey W. Hill
- Branded Sanctuary (Nature of Desire) by Joey W. Hill
- On His Knees by Iris Trovao

Oh perfect! I’ve actually read that last one, too!
More recs:
- Hold ‘em (Vegas Top Guns) by Katie Porter
- Unbound by Cara McKenna
- Bind Me (Alchemy Myth) by Esme Taylor
- Servicing the Target (Masters of the Shadowlands) by Cherise Sinclair
- Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards) by Sarah MacLean
- The Billionaire Submissive (Billionaires in Bondage) by Joely Sue Burkhart
- Bound to Me by Katie Ashley
Some of these are on my list but I'll definitely be adding some things too. Thanks!

Oooh thank you!
Noticed at least one of these are already on the list, sorry 🙈 Regardless, just found out about one more that might fit on the list: All or Nothing by Rose Lerner. It's still on my TBR but comes recc'd by Lara Kinsey who writes femdom, and Xan West, who writes queer kink. It seems to be more of a switch dynamic though.
sarahjcOP
Oooh, thank you! Love a switchy book.
Recommendation for the list- No Ordinary Duchess!
sarahjcOP
Yes! It’s actually on there, but the list cuts off after a certain number of books and you have to click “View More” to see the whole list, which is not very prominently displayed. 🙃
Recommendation for the list - Wrong to Need You by Alisha Rai!
sarahjcOP
Ah thank you! I've read that one and love it!
It was so good! I’m excited to check out more on this list.
I’m sensing a pattern with my reading lately. Just finished American Sweethearts by Adriana Herrera and it definitely belongs on this list!
sarahjcOP
Oh yay! I haven't read it yet, but I bought a paperback copy last month because I love Adriana Herrera!
So this list is “gentle femdom.” I thought American Dreamer is MM?
It’s been a while since this list was posted. Wondering if you’re still up for more recommendations?
sarahjcOP
Hi! Yes! Sorry, just saw this comment, but I am always looking for additional recs!
Great! I’ll post them below.
I just realized American Dreamer is on this list. That novel is MM but isn’t this list “gentle femdom”? For Real isn’t on the list for that reason.
American Sweethearts is on here, which is another book in the same series as American Dreamer. The rest of the series is MM but this one is MF.
Good to know, lol 😆
Oops, not finished
I have a few more but I’ll leave it for now.
One of the best dom-sub (AKA alpha submissive) contemporary romances is a MM romance.
