Today’s trope is Gentle Giant Heroes!
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 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, tropeon 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.
I know some people who love a gentle giant hero in their romance stories. Who doesn’t really? I mean we encounter many, many buttholes as heroes, it’s the truth. Sometimes we encounter party boys that have a gooey inside that you can’t help but melt when they appear on scene. And sometimes there are those heroes who are gentle giants, who are quiet and don’t have much to say but by reading their expressions or actions, the reader realizes how he really feels. I have a sweet spot for them and wanted to share some fabulous reads for you all to pick up if you feel the same way as I.
