Either is great, really. But I chose A because it's clever.
I like this title because it does not sound so generic compared to the other title. It grabs me in seeing where and when it is set immediately and it is nice to see a book set in an area that is not New York or America at all.
A sounds more interesting and modern. It rhymes a little too.
Option A is catchier and rhymes.
As a reader, I would like to know what happened that Spring in Beijing. That has my curiosity up.
"That spring in Beijing" sounds romantic story in a pleasant weather of busy city Beijing. It sounds interesting and sweet story already.
This title is unique.
i like the rhyming in the title. it is appealing
I like option A because I think it is kind of catchy, I like how it rhymes and it peaks my interest.
I like that they somewhat rhyme
I like B. It has a sense of mystery.
I like A because the rhyme is nice. Also it creates impressions of spring and love, which add to the romance. The other title is confusing because it's not clear if it's THE Forbidden City, or any forbidden city.
That spring sounds intriguing, I would want to know more
I think that the title rings together, but it also is kind of a reference point of looking back to a moment in time. I think that it kind of stands out. Love in a Forbidden City just gives makes you think more about the city than the love.
Title A brings up a lot of opportunities. It sounds lighter and more fun.
I love the word Spring. It brings a smile to my face. Warmer weather, romance, etc.
I like how catchy it is. Also, it just made me want to know more. What happened during that Spring? Why in Beijing of all places? Love in a Forbidden City just doesn't sound enticing to me.
I like A because it sounds more hopeful. B sounds like it might have more suspense, A sounds more like a light read.

It just sounds mysterious I like this
I would enjoy Option B because of the idea that it's set in a city, in which I don't know yet. I also know it is about love, which always provides a good story.
The Forbidden City sounds a lot more edgy and romantic to me than the cheesy rhyme in A.
I think B would better spark my curiosity as in wanting to find out what the "forbidden" city is and what happened there.
I prefer B, sounds more mysterious and more of an interesting story. A sounds a bit "cheesey" to me with trying to rhyme it.
love in the title is better for a love book
B sounds more interesting.
This title sounds more interesting. It sounds like their love is forbidden.
This one makes me want to find out why it is a forbidden city.
Option B is more appealing and sounds good then option A
option B: makes me think what city is forbidden and what made them fall in love, for being curious, I would pick up the book and learn more.
B is mysterious, exciting, and intriguing!
I love stories about love and would be interested in seeing that.
This name sounds best and very interesting.
Option B sounds more mysterious and intriguing
It sounds like a romance title. I am not sure that A expresses that sentiment necessarily. It sounds too broad.
It sounds illicit in an appealing way. It also sounds like the setting might be mysterious and interesting.
I like that the title explains that it is a story about love.
I think this title is more compelling because of the wording used.
The title shows that there will be conflict involved.
The other sounds like a limerick, this one is sexy and mysterious.
Using the Forbidden City in the title adds a little more spice to your expectations on the quality of the story
I think the mystery of where it is would be better because I wouldn't immediately go to a book that has Beijing in the title.
I chose option B because it relates to a love story better. That tone is not the same in option A.
I live romance and mystery so I like B better. A is too limiting and leaves less to the imagination.
it sounds better to me
This was a tough one. I love both titles. They both catch your attention. However, Option B had that draw you in factor. I think we all have a thing for the “forbidden.” This one just reeled me in and I’d want to read it right away.
any book with 'forbidden' in the title is appealing!
B tells you that the book is a love story so if that is type of book you are looking for you know based on the title you are getting a love story.
B is more exciting and mysterious, the exotic kind of romantic. A is quirky, which is more of a rom-com to me, if that fits the story, but I would rather a romance with Option B.
I chose option B because it is the only title that lets you know the story is a love story. I have no idea what "That Spring" means in Option A.
Forbidden city offers a bit of a naughty appeal for those who love this genre.
