A New Challenge, presented by Spicy Peps and Bookmarks NC
Delve into the world of romance with Spicy Peps and Bookmarks in our All the Love Reading Challenge! This challenge covers books of all types and spice levels, so no matter if you’re a romance regular or a newbie, you’re sure to find a favorite as we explore the this wide-ranging genre. And if you can’t get enough and want more to love, you can follow the Spicy Peps website.
There are twelve prompts for this challenge, so you can read one book a month! You can pick what book you want to read from our suggestions (or find one of your own!) and complete the challenges in any order.
Challenge #1:
The forced proximity trope is a popular one within the romance genre, covering situations that force the main characters to be physically close, such as when they must work together to solve a problem or they discover they’re stranded at a snowed-in resort. This proximity is the perfect way to get sparks flying and raise the emotional stakes for the protagonists.

We look forward to the challenge too! Each of the “prompts” you can pick one, these are just some selections to get readers started but if there’s a Forced Proximity on your TBR, feel free to add your own! We’ve got them all listed in the StoryGraph challenge and will be adding community suggestions as it goes. 🙂
