WLW & lesbian slow-burn romance novels (F/F Fiction Crossword Challenge #4)

I hope you are having fun with the F/F Fiction Crossword Challenge! For our fourth puzzle, I picked one of my favorite tropes: wlw and lesbian slow-burn romance novels.

Slow-burn romances are novels in which the romance develops gradually. Instead of falling in love or jumping into bed in chapter 1, the characters take the time to really get to know each other, forming a deeper connection, and that’s what I like about this kind of romance novels.

A big shout-out to my helpers!

Before I give you the clues, though, I’d like to thank all the people who supplied clues for some of the puzzles. A big shout-out to my wonderful helpers!
