Hi there,
Matchmaking is the best part of this job. Before I can set you up with your next great love story, I need to know your type, and I don’t mean tall, dark and brooding (although we’ll get to him). So I’ve made you a quiz. There are no wrong answers here, and I mean that sincerely.
1. It’s a free evening and a new book. Where are you?
A) Under a blanket with tea, rain doing its best against the window.
B) Up at 3am promising myself one more chapter, knowing full well I’m lying.
C) Anywhere. The bath, the bus. There’s always a book in my bag.
2. Pick your leading man.
A) The kind one next door who remembers how you take your coffee.
B) The one with the terrible reputation and a soft spot for exactly one person.
C) Whoever this story gives me. I fall for them all, it’s a gift.
3. The trope you can never resist:
A) Friends to lovers in a small town where everyone saw it coming.
B) Enemies to lovers, ideally forbidden, ideally with tension you could cut.
C) Only one bed. Also all of the others.
4. Your perfect ending looks like:
A) A slow golden glow and an epilogue where we check in on everyone.
B) Hard-won and breathless, after the author has made them earn it.
C) Happy. However we get there, whatever it costs me emotionally.
5. A friend asks what they should read next. You:
A) Press your most-loved comfort read into their hands like a family recipe.
B) Hand it over with ‘read this and don’t ask me any questions’.
C) Ask them fourteen questions, because recommendations are a science.
6. Be honest about your bookshelf.
A) Old friends I re-read every year without fail.
B) The covers are perfectly innocent. The contents are not.
C) A bit of everything, arranged by mood, and the mood changes weekly.
Mostly As: The Cosy Romantic
You read for the warm ache of it. Small towns and kind hearts, love that feels like coming home, you want a book that wraps around you like your favourite jumper and an ending you can trust. There is nothing gentle about how hard these books hit, and you know it. When Forever Yours has a cosy month, and we will, it’s yours.
Mostly Bs: The Spice Seeker
You like your love stories with the lights low and the stakes high. Tension, sharp edges, the kind of chemistry that makes you put the book down just to breathe, you’re here for romance that doesn’t play it safe. Our spicier months are being chosen with you very much in mind.
Mostly Cs: The Happily Everything After
You love love, full stop. Cosy one week, spicy the next, you refuse to pick a lane because every lane leads somewhere wonderful, and honestly? Same. A box that hands you a different kind of romance every month might as well have been invented for you.
A bit of everything?
Even better. It means there are corners of this genre still waiting to steal your heart, and finding them is what we’re here for.
Now tell me your type
Share your result and tag us over on Instagram or TikTok, because knowing this about people is my favourite thing. And whichever reader you are, there’s a month coming with your name on it. Join the waitlist and you’ll be first in line when subscriptions open this autumn.
Forever Yours,
