10 Bisexual Romance Books

Bisexual romance provides representation for people who identify as bisexual or pansexual. These books feature protagonists who experience attraction to more than one gender, offering validation and visibility for bisexuals in literature. Seeing characters with similar identities and experiences can be empowering and affirming for bisexual readers. They explore the complexities of bisexual identity and the unique challenges faced by bisexuals in society.

These stories cover issues such as biphobia, bisexual erasure, and navigating relationships with partners of different genders, providing readers with insights into the diverse experiences of bisexual individuals. I will talk about my ten favorite bisexual romance books for you. They feature characters with varied backgrounds, identities, and experiences, highlighting the richness and complexity of bisexual identity. Let’s go!

1. Knit One, Girl Two

This book is about a yarn dyer named Clara Ziegler. She’s into knitting, and she has a shop selling dyed yarns. Essentially, she finds an artist woman, and her work inspires her. So, she dyes some yarn inspired by her work. Then they meet, like each other, and start dating.

There’s also Jewish representation in this. One love interest is bisexual, and one of the love interests is a lesbian, which is a great combination. There are no angsty conflicts that make the story boring but cute. If you love short stories and soft romance, you’ll like it.

This book has many excellent representations, a fantastic character study, and a bi-romance. If you like interracial romance with an LGBTQ trope, pick it up immediately.

3. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Our main character, Evelyn Hugo, was a fifties Hollywood starlet. She is Cuban and bisexual. So it is about her struggle trying to be a star during this period and everything she’s willing to do to maintain her celebrity. The story is fascinating to read about a character as ambitious.

Evelyn is a strong woman. Her seven husbands are the scandal that marks her entire career and is what people know her for mostly. In this book, she tells all interviews where she discusses her seven husbands and who the real true love of her life was. So I love it so much, and I love Evelyn as a historical character.

4. Red, White & Royal Blue

The main character, Alex, is bisexual. Throughout the novel, he discovers that he’s bisexual and is the first son of the president of the United States. It is a reimagining of the 2016 election. So Alex’s mother won the election. Alex is a biracial, bisexual Mexican young man working his way through college, and he happens to have this grudge against the Prince of England, Henry.

So, Alex and Henry are going from enemies to friends to lovers. It’s an entertaining read, in my opinion. You will appreciate Alex’s representation because it highlights how it can be challenging to understand feelings as a bisexual person in a heterosexual society. That encourages you to feel brave. When you’re bisexual and experience this multi-gender attraction, it can be challenging to understand and categorize attraction to other genders.

5. The Cardigans (Criminal Intentions)

This series follows two detectives, Malcolm Khalaji and Seong-Jae Yoon. Yoon is Korean, and Malcolm is Persian Jewish. So, these are the two detectives who solve crimes together. They become partners in the first book, solving various crimes together. Also, it has a very reminiscent feel of Criminal Minds because they do criminal profiling of their suspects.

A relationship does form between Yoon and Malcolm, which is impressive. I love the slow burn of their relationship. The crimes in this are so fascinating. As a bisexual, Malcom’s love interest is gay and grace. If you are interested in a mystery-thriller, slow-burn, super intense bisexual love story, you would appreciate this book.

They engage every time and they see each other. Astrid is a yoga instructor and owns a graphic design business, but that’s her side hustle. Yoga is the main thing that she focuses on.

Eddie discusses how difficult it is for him to date as a bisexual man and how many straight women fetishize him. These two characters embark on this journey of self-love and self-care together. Also, they are so hilarious together. So this is one of my favorite romance books with bisexual characters ever.

7. Deposing Nathan

This book follows our main character, Nathan, who is discovering himself. He meets his boy Cam, and Cam gets him out of his house and is his friend. Then he realizes that he’s bisexual, and it’s cute. It’s also got a major plot twist at the end, one of the best plot twists I’ve ever seen.

The story deals with abuse and biphobia. It’s realistic fiction, where you will learn how to deal with physical and mental problems in a rigid society. When Nathan explores his feelings for Cam, he faces many psychological issues, but soon, it turns out to be a romantic bisexual relationship. If you want to read contemporary bi-romance fiction, you must read it.

8. Nevernight (The Nevernight Chronicle)

Our main character (Mia) is a bisexual girl, and she is training to be an assassin at a school for assassins. Mia wants to do this because the president killed her parents. So, she goes to an assassin school to avenge their murders. Then there is a female-female romance. But romance can not change Mia’s revengeful mind.

Mia finds her best way into the Red Church, where she becomes one of the deadliest assassins. Then, she discovers more about her powers. You’ll not find a real cliffhanger throughout the series, but it is a fantastic story that holds your breath till last. As a sex-positive book, the opening chapter is very loveable, and Mia’s bisexuality is ideally on display. If you like bisexuality with a strong female lead character, I recommend this book.

9. Take a Hint, Dani Brown

We have Dani Brown, who is a Ph.D. student. She’s career-driven, confident, bisexual, and not big on committed relationships. Also, she prefers casual sex because she knows what she will and what she will not give in a relationship. Zaf is our tall, dark, and handsome hero. He is emotionally mature and aware of his anxiety. Moreover, he believes in happily ever after as he wants a committed relationship.

Dani and Zaf work at the same university. A fire drill goes wrong, and Zaf saves Dani, so you see him carrying her on the cover. Someone records him rescuing her, and the video goes viral. While Zaf is also working at the university, he owns his nonprofit, which teaches young men how to use sports to help their mental health better.

Once this video started going viral, many sports organizations began to get in contact with Zaf. Then, the story follows the friends-to-benefits trope, which doesn’t work out well. Some external conflict happens, which you would have to read to find out for yourself.
