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.
How about some winter spirit? We are almost in December to be honest and this is just asking for some winter-y romances right? I’m so excited for this time of the year, it’s always one of my favorites and especially when it comes to books!
I chose snowbound romances because they’re always so much fun and I’ve seen many many people share their love for them too. They’re really the greatest to read because the TENSION between the main characters is always on fiiiiiire. We can also take the forced proximity trope into this one because they have to stay together for a while because of the heavy snow falling outside.
They have to pass their time together!
I thought it would be perfect for this season and I hope you all enjoy them and if in your side of the world, winter is not here yet or you don’t get snow, these romances will be like visiting those places!
