So, I write romance ( duh!) and in this genre we use tropes. A lot of tropes. Today, for my friday five, I’m naming the five tropes I love to read ( and write).
- friends to lovers. I adore figuring out who is going to “give” first in the relationship and admit to “feelings.”
- forced proximity. Also called just one bed, or even love on the run. The h/h are inseparable for some nefarious reason.
- workplace romance. My favorite because that’s how my own HEA started.
- slow burn. I’m not a wham-bang-thank-you-man/ma’am reader. I like the slow, sexy buildup to the physical side of the relationship.
- small town. So much goes on in the hot bed of small towns!!! Hee hee. I know – I live in one!
