A Bisexual is a person who can have romantic or sexual attractions to more than one gender, not necessarily the same amount and time. When you see sexual orientation, it’s usually referring to a person’s fantasies or behavior. However, sexual identity is about how a person presents themself to the public.
So a person can have fantasies about more than one gender. Their sexual orientation is bisexual, but their sexual identity is straight. Also, their primary attraction could be females, and they have an attraction to males. That’s not every male but certain males above their friendship level.
In the LGBTQ community, the gay and lesbian romance novel is very trendy, and the bisexual trope will be popular day by day. If you want to read bisexual romance books, stay with me.
10 bisexual romance books
There are a lot of strange misconceptions about bisexuality that bisexual people experience. So do not assume that bisexuality means that you are only attracted to cis men or women. That’s not the case.
Any bi person who says that that is what it is is misinformed and possibly transphobic, which is their own opinion. It is not what bisexuality is, what it stands for, or how other bisexuals feel about their identity.
Many authors represent this topic very authentically, but some fail to describe and spread misinformation properly. I read many bisexual stories and made a list. Now I will review my 10 favorite bisexual romance books for you. 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 where she sells dyed yarns. Essentially she finds an artist woman, and her work inspires her. So she dyes some yarn inspired by her work. Then they end up meeting, and they 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.

2. Hold Me (Cyclone)
We follow a trans-Mexican woman named Maria and a Chinese-Thai bisexual man named Jay. Maria is incredibly feminine. She loves makeup and shoes, and she cares much about her appearance. Jay is a scientist, a professor in a way. He doesn’t take her seriously when they meet because he’s a ridiculous man.
There’s a lot of wonderful representation in this book, and it is a fantastic character study and a bi romance. If you like interracial romance with an LGBTQ trope, pick it 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 that 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 difficult 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 these 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.

6. Something Like Love (Serendipitous Love)
The book follows two characters, Eddie and Astrid. They are both bisexual, and Eddie is a tattoo artist. He owns a tattoo shop, and he doesn’t like Astrid, not for any particular reason. 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 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. Throughout the series, you’ll not find a real cliffhanger, 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 own 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. There is some external conflict that does happen, which you would have to read to find out for yourself.
