☀️ Summer of Love: A Romance Reading Challenge from Romantique Books 💕

Dates: July 1 – August 31
Hashtag: #RomantiqueSummerofLove

Get ready to spice up your summer reading with a romance challenge that’s equal parts swoony and satisfying. Whether you're lounging poolside, escaping into AC with a glass of rosé, or hiding in your book nook like the emotionally wrecked gremlin you are—we’ve got the perfect reason to fall in love (with books, that is).

💘 How It Works

We’ve put together 10 tropetastic prompts to guide your summer reading.
Complete at least 5 of them between July 1 and August 31, share your progress using #RomantiqueSummerofLove, and you'll be entered to win a Blind Date with a Romance Book bundle—curated by us, wrapped with love, and ready to sweep you off your feet.

And just between us? We might sneak a few surprise goodies like stickers or bookmarks to random participants along the way. No promises. No spoilers. Just bookish delight.

🔥 The Summer Prompts

Pick any 5 or more to complete your challenge!

• Hot Tropes Only – Your fave trope: Enemies to Lovers? Grumpy/Sunshine? Fake Dating? Go wild.

• Summer Fling – A book set during summer or on vacation.

• One Bed, Infinite Tension – Forced proximity excellence. Bring on the slow-burn.

• Beach Read Energy – Bright, fun, possibly punny. Looks like a beach day, reads like a dream.

• Swoon and Spice – Anything Spicy or High Heat. We see you, smutty readers.

• Tears in Your Margarita – A Tearjerker or High Angst romance.
