Romance Authors Heat Up the Jersey Shore June 13-15 for Steamy Summer Book Signing Event

If you're searching for fun things to do this weekend, romance book lovers can't miss with this "heart-pounding, fan-girling, happily-ever-after" experience.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Attention, romance readers: If you're looking for the summer's best beach reads, the Aces Wild Author and Reader Event is dealing a full house of flirtation, fun, and fandom at the Atlantic City Convention Center this weekend. Hosted by the team behind Cuffed in Chicago, this three-day romp is set to take place June 13–15, allowing every heart-eyed Jersey girl the opportunity to meet dozens of romance authors and purchase signed copies of some bestselling books.

The 80+ writers from Romancelandia will be joined by a bevy of steamy-voiced audiobook narrators and a few chiseled cover models, all ready to charm your flip-flops off. Whether you're into slow burns, spicy thrillers, or second-chance stunners, this event is made for readers who crave addictive love stories.

Here's the itinerary:

• Friday, June 13: Ease into the weekend with a casual Meet & Greet—talk tropes with the authors, sip something bubbly, and connect with fellow book lovers.
• Saturday, June 14: The main event! Doors open at 9:00 AM for VIPs and 10:00 AM for General Admission. Stock up on autographed books, exclusive swag, and unforgettable memories.
• Saturday Night: VIPs should don their flapper dresses and bow ties for a Roaring 20s After-Party complete with DJ, cash bar, and Gatsby vibes galore.
• Sunday, June 15: Say a sweet farewell at the VIP Goodbye Brunch where you can trade contact info and parting hugs with your new book besties.

Tickets start at just $10, and VIP passes ($75) come with early access, special invites, and a seriously swoon-worthy gift bag which includes an autograph book and lots of bookish swag.

If you can't do a full weekend, even a one-day General Admission ticket can be a booklover's dream. Saturday's signing will be the place to discover new-to-you authors and get your picture taken with a few of your favorites. As you make your rounds, be sure to check authors' tables for raffles, giveaways, and maybe a surprise or two. You never know where your next favorite read might come from.

From spicy to sweet, you'll find every flavor of romance under the sun—contemporary, historical, erotica, paranormal, fantasy, sci-fi, dark, suspense, LGBTQ, BIPOC, inclusive, romantic comedy, young adult, new adult... and that's just the beginning.

From cowboys and rock stars to shapeshifters and vampires, from bikers and billionaires to alphas and yes—even adorkable nerds—these stories are packed with your favorite tropes: enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, fake dating, forced proximity, and more. With so many voices, subgenres, and swoon-worthy plots, your next favorite read is practically guaranteed.

Oh, and did we mention the charitable side of things? A group of attending authors teamed up to publish Love, Lust, and Poker Chips, a limited-edition anthology benefiting the Atlantic City Women's Center. A few paperbacks will be available at the event, but they're first come, first served—so grab one while you can!

Ready to fall head over heels in love with romance again? Snag your tickets, make your gameplan, and join us for the steamiest book bash of the summer. Check out the Aces Wild Author and Reader Event website for more info, or GRAB YOUR TICKETS NOW ON EVENTBRITE!
