This request is from HeatherS:
It’s been a while since I’ve seen this topic covered and a lot of books have been published in the meanwhile, so:
I’d like a rec league post for romances with at least one bisexual MC, preferably not in a college/university setting (because I’m over 40 and college students are mostly babies at this point).
Required: if a bi awakening romance, the MC’s bi awakening does NOT involve cheating (especially on the partner they start the book with, if they start with one).
Some bi romances from my Keeper Shelf include Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston, Faith & Fidelity by Tere Michaels, and Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid.
My TBR currently has Futbolista by Jonny Garza Villa.
And remember, folks, Heated Rivalry is not a “gay hockey book/show”, it is a queer hockey book/show”, because we do not erase bi consent king Ilya Rozanov in this house.
Amanda: I’d recommend You, Again by Kate Goldbeck. ( A | BN | K ) The hero and heroine meet because they’re dating the same woman. The characters are either in their 20s or 30s, but are out of college.
Elyse: If you’re into fantasy, The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi qualifies.
The heroine is 40ish and bi, although romance is not the main focus of the story.
Tara: I recently read a beautiful one called The Second Draft by Carrie Byrd. ( A | BN | K | AB ) Two best friends, one of them is 56, the other is turning 60. One of them is bi, the other goes through a late-in-life realization that she’s a lesbian.
Shana: The Stand-up Groomsman by Jackie Lau. It’s a m/f romance that I described on Goodreads as “extremely bisexual.” It’s one of my favorites.
Sarah: I’m going to guess that HeatherS (hi!) knows about The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastian. I think they’re both bisexual, though that’s historical. With Love, from Cold World by Alicia Thompson ( A | BN | K ) would work!
Oh – Hold Me by Courtney Milan!
In Count Your Lucky Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur I think one FMC is pan, and the other FMC is bi.
What romances would you suggest? Let us know in the comments!
