Read by the Trope: A Guide to Romance Novels

Posted by Rashika • 3 Comments

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
Until There Was You by Kristan Higgins

(someone gets sick and someone has to take care of them. SPARKS FLY)

Let’s Talk About Love by Claire Kann
Walk of Shame by Lauren Layne
The Mad Earl’s Bride by Loretta Chase
Girl in Pants by Ann Brashares (this was probably the book that made me fall in love with the trope)

(probably the trope I am most garbage for.)
