And browsing Bites is like getting a back door view to my favorite author's/character's lives. Excited to try the new products and subscriptions! ### 5/5 — Great for finding new romance books! *2021-10-25, version 2.0.0* There are always new releases every week- I love Verve because it helps me find new authors and their keywords for search are the most extensive I’ve ever seen. ### 4/5 — Fun for romance lovers *2020-06-06, version 1.7.0* I’m not on here much, but it’s fun when I am. I’ve noticed something though: any time I’m in an iffy cell phone service zone (like on the train or something), the app will log me out. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2019-11-24, version 1.5.8* If you’re a reader you need this app! Easily find your next book by sampling bite sized works from a wide range of authors. Use the search feature to zero in on exactly what you’re looking for in your next read! ### 5/5 — Great App for this romance reader *2019-11-21, version 1.5.8* Great app to find new authors by reading blurbs of books before purchasing. Easy to search interests/troupes. And an added treat of special content from authors. ### 4/5 — Love this app! *2019-11-20, version 1.5.8* Sometimes I don’t have time to dive into a new book and sometimes I need a new book and can go to Book + Main to figure out my next read or check out some exclusive bites that my favorite authors leave here! You can invest as much or as little time as you want scrolling through these delicious pages! 💕❣️ My only reason for a small bit of feedback is that it keeps logging me out and I don’t like that! (First world problems!) ### 5/5 — A reader’s dream *2019-11-20, version 1.5.8* I love this app. It’s so easy to use and my go to when I’m trying to pick my next read.

The bites give you a taste of trope, storytelling, etc to give you the opportunity to find a book you are in the mood for. Easy to navigate and use. It’s my go to for romance books. ### 5/5 — Amazing way to find new reads *2019-11-20, version 1.5.8* This app makes it so easy to find the romance read of my choice. I can search by author, by genre, by sub-genre, and keywords. I can read a quick “bite” of the book before following a link to the vendor of my choice to purchase or borrow the book. I recommend it to all romance readers ### 5/5 — An amazing resource for romance readers! *2019-11-20, version 1.5.8* All alliteration aside (oops, I did it again), this is an absolutely amazing (date I say “essential”?) app for readers of romance. The ability to follow favorite authors and read “bites” they’ve shared is just the tip of the iceberg. You can search by a mind-boggling number if genres/tropes and find matches that you might not otherwise ever have found or discovered otherwise.
