Of course, these don’t all have to be Bachelor-style competitions. Yes, those are fun when the author plays around with the trope, but there’s also something exciting about other competitions on display. Whether it’s a baking show (there are so many of those recently!) or some other form of reality TV (usually competition based), there are a ton of great reality show romances featuring competitors, judges, and even folks who work behind the scenes. (Now, if only there were more singing competitions and or the Forged In Fire romance of my dreams…)  Here are a few out now and coming in the near future!

New and Upcoming Reality Show Romances

I hope this trend continues forever, because I am loving these reality show romances. The competitive feel, the chemistry, the urgency. Not to mention the artistic process (and all the food, of course!) (P.S. if you like the cosplay element in this book, you should check out Be Dazzled by Ryan La Sala.) (And when you finish that and want more, there’s a companion book, Tiny House, Big Love.) And I’m serious about that Forged In Fire romance.
