What to Read

Fantastic Book+Main Bites from Black Authors

New to Book+Main? First thing to know is that we’re all about the ‘Bites’—excerpts specifically chosen by the author—including exclusive sneak peeks, serials and bonus scenes. Think trailer for books as Bites are a compilation of highlights from a romance novel without giving away spoilers 

These Bites are tagged by the author with romance keywords including subgenres and tropes. If you’re like us—and countless others—you’re a mood reader. Instead of wasting hours trying to find your next single dad, vampire, fireman (okay, so as of now this doesn’t exist. Authors be advised we’re searching for it 😜), you can quickly search for that combination on Book+Main. If it exists, it’ll populate. You can be done searching and onto reading your next favorite book in minutes!

The past few months Book+Main has seen a rise in searches for the keyword African American and we’re here for it! We’ve rounded up seven of our favorite Bites to share with our friends at Frolic! Below we’re sharing some of the hottest lines from each Bite along with the keywords and flame rating. What’s with the flames? How hot do you want it? 1 flame= Chaste scene, 5 flame=Erotic scene. There’s something for everyone! Enjoy your taste of Book+Main.
