Read by the Trope: A Guide to Romance Novels

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! And happy Wednesday if you don’t give a flying fart about Valentine’s Day. I don’t really care one way or another but I always find that Valentine’s Day is a great day to curl up with a romance and just treat yourself to something fun! Like most people, I have my favorite tropes and I definitely can be sold on many a novel if the trope is a thing I like! So. Today. I’ve put together a mini guide on reading some romance books by the trope featuring some of my fav tropes and other tropes I know people like. I spent a LOT of time putting this guide together (probably like 10 hours all together?) so I REALLY do hope you’ll enjoy it! I also tried in include some YA titles here and there for both of you who like a good romance but prefer YA. ALSO. A bunch of these books have multiple tropes. I’ve read every single one of the them and am happy to answer any questions! 🙂

• When A Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare
• The Truth About Love and Dukes by Laura Lee Guhrke
• Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
• Call Me Irresistible by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

• Kindling the Moon by Jenn Bennett
• Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase
• I Want it That Way by Ann Aguirre

• Let’s Talk About Love by Claire Kann
• Walk of Shame by Lauren Layne
• The Mad Earl’s Bride by Loretta Chase

Rashika has been tired since 2013. There are very few things that spark joy for her besides a nice cup of tea, warm, baked goods, good books and good TV shows. She is here to pile onto your giant TBRs and to-watch lists. Offer her a cookie and she might be nice to you.
