To explain a little about what this post will be about, every Trope Tuesday post starts with the same introduction. In every romance book you read there are tropes or archetypes you find inside its pages. You can also see them in shows, movies, plays, etc. Every type of entertainment and media. Romantic tropes are everywhere, and they are fabulous. I adore them and I always tend to find my favorite ones in romance books so I can enjoy them even more. Trope Tuesday is a weekly column where I share books that I know people will enjoy with a specific central trope.
What is a trope? Urban Dictionary explains it best: “Despite the erroneous definitions already published here, trope on the interwebs really refers to an often overused plot device. It can also be described as another variation on the same theme. TV shows, movies, comics, games, anime’, & books are full of tropes & many rabid fan-sites now name & track said tropes with a self-explanatory title for each one.” We can name a few: accidental pregnancy, best friends to lovers, sibling’s best friend, marriage of convenience, and so many more. Your favorite couples? They probably got a trope too! It’s always so nice to realize or find out your favorite romance trope and keep searching for books with the same theme. So really? I’m just helping you find that new favorite book of yours. If ever you want a post on a trope I haven’t done yet, do drop me a tweet at @thebookvoyagers and let me know!
Well, Thanksgiving is this week. Do you have things you are thankful for this year? All of the next romances all fit one theme and that is that they all are Thanksgiving novellas. I thought it will fit with this time of the year and I know many people search for holiday romances, so I thought why not compile a list with romance stories and happily ever afters, all through Thanksgiving? If you are one of those people who are always in the search for these stories, search no more because here I come and I’m bringing you three new Thanksgiving romances!
The Thanksgiving Game: A Holiday Short Story by Phyllis Bourne
If you’ve read The Hook-Up Before Christmas, which is also a short story from Bourne, you already know Toi and Lennox. And if you haven’t read it, it’s the perfect time to pick it up as well. Two novellas at once! One is a Christmas-themed romance and as you know, this one is Thanksgiving-themed.
Toi and Lennox are back and they are happy to be spending their Thanksgiving in bed. But guess what? Plans don’t go as they expected them to go. Family is demanding a feast together and they have to be there. But some fun and games might keep them busy and entertained.
Give Me Love by B. Love
I’m always so in love with B’s covers and this one is no different because JUST LOOK AT THAT!
Gratitude and Cherish don’t meet under happy circumstances. Gruff exterior hero? Check. But life keeps putting them on the same path. When they get stranded together, things get a lot more interesting and you’re not ready for the development!
Plus One by Christina C. Jones
As you might know by now, Ms. Jones is one of my favorite authors. She even has a Halloween romance novella if you also want to get that!!! Plus One is her newest Thanksgiving novella. Ms. Jones is one amazing storyteller and you won’t regret ever picking up her books. In fact, you will become obsessed and get them all. It’s that simple to be honest.
