To explain a little about what this post will be about, I’m taking the intro I did for the last one: In every romance book you read there are tropes or archetypes. You can also see them in shows, movies, plays, etc. Romantic tropes are everywhere, and they are fabulous. I adore them. I adore some of them and I always tend to find my favorite ones in romance books so I can enjoy them more. I decided to do a sort of Trope Tuesday piece where I will be talking about many tropes and recommend you all some of my favorites that fit.
What is a trope? Urban Dictionary explains it best I think: “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 for sure. 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.
Who doesn’t love romance books with pets? It’s just simple wonderful. My heart beats faster when I find a book that has it or I find out about a book I really wanted to read it and if it has pets? I put it on top of my TBR. Pets are my ultimate love and I love puppies especially. But if the main characters have multiple pets, as you might realize some of these characters in the books I’m going to rec have, I am game and literally will pick up your book immediately.
For me, it’s so cute, plus you get to see these characters interact with very cute animals. You know a lot about someone when you meet their pet! But in serious, I’m so pleased that I have found so many titles that do include them and don’t use them as a plot device like for a dramatic scene so our main couple can get closer that involves maybe a death of said pet. I’m not here to recommend those books and will let you know that all of these books, they have pets that do survive until the end! You will fall in love with the story and the romance but you will also fall in love with this furry beings and cute and fluffy animals. You won’t regret one bit picking these up.
