About the author

RA Hunter writes unapologetically authentic sapphic love stories because the world deserves more messy characters, tender chaos, and queer identity. As an AuDHD writer shaped by early-00s alt pop culture and the gloriously unhinged pre-regulation internet, she brings a brain wired for intensity, curiosity, and delightful chaos to every story she creates.
When she’s not writing, she works in television—an industry that perfectly complements her love of storytelling, organized chaos, and deadlines that sprint instead of walk. At home, she’s happily outnumbered by her dogs, who insist on supervising every creative endeavor.
Her dedication to crafting emotionally resonant queer stories was recognized in 2025, when she won the Best Self-Published Novel award at the Indieverse Awards—an affirmation of the voice she once was not sure she could share.

Oh yeah princess

This was short and sweet. An easy read. BDSM isn't really a favorite for me but I think this was offered for free at the time so why not.

Perfect. Short and spicy. Exactly what I expected, I loved it! 24 pages, a great one to help with your reading goal. Sapphic, set in a sex club. Sooo many great kinks 😍 check it out!!

Si creen que la sumisión ente varón y mujer está bien, deberían de comprobar cómo es entre dos mujeres

Chef kiss, caliente como la mierda

Woman, loving woman are so freaking hot. I thank every day that I am a lesbian.

This took me longer to buy and review than it did to read.
But I regret nothing.
Throw 99p at this. Its worth it.
Then spend the next several hours looking for THAT toy.

At least it wasn’t hetero.
And it was consensual. All is good🏳️‍🌈

I picked this up for free during a SYK promotion day and ended up enjoying it far more than I expected. The story leans into BDSM themes, but the sapphic focus gives it a refreshing and engaging perspective that really worked for me. The characters were compelling, the dynamics felt intentional rather than gratuitous, and the overall tone struck a good balance between heat and emotional connection. By the time I finished, I was invested enough in the world and the relationships that I immediately went to purchase the other books in the series. Definitely a worthwhile read if you enjoy sapphic spicy shorts with an edge.

Thank you RA Hunter for the opportunity to read this novella early in exchange for an honest review.

Mutual consent sets the tone early and lasts throughout in this sexy AF short read.

Princess has spent weeks begging for tonight–a night full of new experiences. She knows what it takes to be a good girl. They crawl, and serve, and put their mouth exactly where they’re told to. Tonight Princess plans to be perfect in her shiny new collar.

This couple shows so much beauty and care for one another–meeting each other's needs before, during, and after their play time.

This short was a seriously smoking hot piece of sapphic erotica. Lovers of kinks like praise, service subbing, exhibitionism, and free use are likely to find themselves throbbing by the end. If you dream about being collared and shared with a stranger by a sexy dom who also knows their way around consent and after care, check out Kneel. Healthy sapphic kink is so hard to come by, and I feel Hunter has done an amazing job of writing sapphic kink with care and concern for her characters.

this is only 24 pages long so i don't have a lot to say about this but this was both poetically written and so hot my wife almost didn't survive me pouncing on her when i finished this at bedtime 🥵

if you're in the scene and a fan of service and exhibitionism/voyeurism then you will absolutely adore this

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am BLUSHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This short story takes you on a journey. Told in first person, you are instantly pulled into the narrative, creating a spicy immersive experience. Hunter does a great job building out the characters, especially for such a short piece. This story is vivid, visceral, and the spice is spicing.

Pure sapphic goodness.

[Finding Sky · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fast paced and super steamy sapphic BDSM club short story between a Dom/sub. Lots of praise which I loved but meh on the exhibitionism lol, it isn't exactly my fav kink but the scenes were hot regardless. Great fun short read!

[LovesickJunkie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just a tiny, 24-page spicy read. But the catch is that it feels very immersive! The main character talks directly to "you," putting YOU right there in the scene. Which was a total first for me. So different! Super spicy, just one long sexy scene and setup.

[BubbleyBee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hot. Hot. Hot.

Shorty and steamy and certainly hits the spot ;)

[A Novel Perception · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have never read a book where it is written in the style where I am the character the MC is talking to. How fun!
Perfect short read to add to Sapphic September

[Heather Medina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Whyyyyyy is this so short? I get antithesis from slow burn but like, some context please? Good spice though. Withholding a star like Mistress Knight would.

A lot happens in such a short little story. Well written. Kinky to the max with seemingly full consent and care.
