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!
I don’t read a lot of mafia romances but the ones that I’ve read? *chef kiss* Outstanding. I love the high stakes, the intensity, the action-packed scenes that mafia romances bring you. There is always something happening. Be it fighting scenes or romantic declarations of love, mafia romances really give you a little bit of everything. They also never forget to deliver the emotions and angst because by the end of these books, I find myself crying my eyes out. Be prepared! But also have fun, because the next books I’m going to mention are wonderful and these authors do a really good job.

One author that should be included on this list is Bethany Kris. Her mafia romance novels are sensual, emotional and the perfect read. I have devoured them numerous times.
Don’t forget Sienna Mynxx and Kenya Wright
