When uptight investment banker Jessica inherits seven cats and a creaking Victorian house, she never expects to fall for the animal behaviourist hired to help. Yet some hearts refuse to be tamed by spreadsheets. This is slow burn lesbian romance with claws and charm, a piece of lesbian fiction where chemistry purrs first, then pounces.
This captivating lesbian fiction follows Jessica Taylor and Dr Ali Ritchie as they navigate family expectations, career ambitions, and seven scheming cats determined to play matchmaker. Between late-night emergencies and the slow rebuilding of trust, Jessica learns that control is not the same as safety, and Ali discovers that even the fiercest strays can choose home.
Expect the tenderness and tension of slow burn lesbian romance: lingering glances, careful boundaries, and a steady climb from wary allies to something undeniable. Found family threads through every chapter as neighbours, friends, and four-legged meddlers close ranks around two women who deserve a soft landing. With humour that sparkles and emotional stakes that feel earned, this is lesbian fiction for readers who love character-led stories and a genuine romantic payoff.
From kitchen-table confessions to vet-clinic disasters, every moment nudges them closer. As Jessica confronts a legacy of fear and Ali risks her guarded heart, they must decide if bravery looks like staying. Because sometimes the family you inherit is exactly the one you need, and sometimes slow burn lesbian romance is the surest way to forever.
Thousands of readers say this is slow-burn romance at its best.
Reviews
Bravery If ‘Rescuing Hearts’ was about hope, then ‘Curious Hearts’ is about bravery. This book has it all; humour, tension, and the slow piercing of even the toughest exteriors. Sometimes you just find that one special book with a MC that you resonate with a little too closely. For me, that was Jessica, and it felt like both validation and promise in watching how her unfolded. The characters in this book are just fantastic. From ever-present friends to a fast-growing family and of course, Yaya! I’ll definitely return to this book again and again. The ultimate comfort read. I also have a sneaky suspicion that Ruby Scott is hiding a serious talent for the Ice Queen trope! I really hope that is explored further at some point because I’m totally here for it…
Slow burn, half a dozen cats and a great supporting cast. Loved this latest book from Ruby Scott. This one is more up my street than other books by Ruby, but that's just a personal choice on my part. I do enjoy a slow burn story with pets involved and main characters that are on the surface scarred by previous experiences in life. That being said I can never fault the writing ability of Ruby, she always seems to weave a story together with the inclusion of interesting, quirky supporting cast members.
