I am here to lay down a challenge for any romance reader brave enough to test their knowledge. Can you guess the romance book based on a vague description?

Any book person can tell you sometimes it is difficult to remember the title of a book. We have all been in conversations where there’s only a vague plot summary to go off of. For example, someone might ask, “I just read that romance book, you know, the one with the baker and the reality TV star?” This quiz is essentially a simulation of that real-life experience with the added benefit of receiving a grade when you’re done. At least in this case, you will not be left wondering what that book was called.

I will stand by my belief that romance readers need more trivia events, quizzes, and tests geared to them. After creating an opening line identification quiz, the Can You Guess the Romance Book Based on a Vague description? quiz is my next contribution to the genre. I hope you enjoy this mix of contemporary, historical, paranormal, and fantasy romance titles. I certainly had an excellent time putting it together.

Congratulations! You guessed the romance book!

Although the romance book descriptions were vague, you still gave it a go. Some insider info: most of the alternate answers are comparative titles for the answer, so if you like any of these books, check out the other romances mentioned in the quiz.
