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 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!
Music tells stories out of melodies and words. A song is a poem, a declaration, a tale. If someone dedicates a song to you, that’s such a sweet and romantic moment because it tells you that the song reminds them of you and they want for you to remember them with it. Musicians in romance books are smooth, romantic and have words that make you swoon. And their love interests, of course! The love interests won’t see love coming until it’s right there in their face.
So these artists are here to enchant us with their careers, music tastes, and overall personality. They might be going through a very hard time or taking their career to another level of fame throughout the novel. Either way, these characters are never going to expect finding love at that moment in their lives. But as we all know, the happily ever afters are always very unexpected.
