My Favourite Romance Tropes That I Love To Read

My Favourite Romance Tropes That I Love To Read

March 26, 2021 Posted by angelreads Uncategorized No Comments

Today I thought I would have a little fun and share some of my favourite romance tropes that I love seeing in books. These aren’t all my favourites, because I could be here a while. But some of the ways that I love to read. And if a book has it in it, there is a higher chance that I will pick it up. Like always these are in no order. 

Siblings Best Friend/Best Friends Sibling: This is a trope that I would read in almost anything. It’s one that I have loved for a really long time. I love the tension that it creates, the secrecy is fantastic and then how it all explodes. It just leaves for great friction between the characters. 

Some of my favourites in include this trope are The Duke and I by Julia Quinn, Inked in Lies (The Fallen Men #5) by Giana Darling, On the Fence by Kasie West 

Friends To Lovers: This is another one that I have loved to read for some time. It just makes me happy when I read this trope. I especially love it, when it’s the male who has been pining for a long time. It’s a nice flip on the trope and just makes everything better. 

Some of my favourites books that include the friends to lovers trope is Him (Him #1) by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, Lady Midnight (The Dark Artifices #1) by Cassandra Clare and Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett.

Second Chances: This has become a recent favourite of mine. I didn’t read slowly romance for a long time, and that my reading habits have changed I do. And this has become a trope that I adore. It creates some beautiful moments between the characters. They explore forgiving but also taking a big step. This can be a mix of a second chance with the same person or even a second chance at love.

Some books that I adore with this trope are Mine to Possess (Psy-Changeling #4) by Nalini Singh, When He Was Wicked (Bridgertons #6) by Julia Quinn and Rookie Move (Brooklyn Bruisers #1) by Sarina Bowen 

Fake Dating/Marriage of Convenience: I love when this trope is used in Historial Romance the most. It just works so well here and I can’t stop reading them. They create great tension, a lot of awkward moments that lead to more and some beautiful moments between the characters. 

The books that I love that include this trope are The Duchess Deal (Girl Meets Duke #1) by Tessa Dare, My Darling Duke (Sinful Wallflowers #1) by Stacy Reid and Serpent & Dove (Serpent & Dove #1) by Shelby Mahurin

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!
