Friday Favorites: Romance Tropes

By: Cait Marie

Happy Friday! Regardless of genre, I love a good romance in books. I actually tend to avoid those without any romance at all because I love it so much. Here are a few of my favorite romance-related tropes!

For a full list of the Friday Favorites prompts, click here.

Bloggers, the linky to add your post is at the bottom!

  • Friends to enemies to friends again to lovers – It’s the ultimate trope 🤷‍♀️
  • True enemies to lovers – I’m talking rivals, mortal enemies, absolutely hate each other, etc. (bonus points if they want to or are supposed to unalive one another)
  • Brother’s best friend – I read and write so many of these because I’m obsessed
  • Grumpy/sunshine – Always cute
  • Fake relationship – These are fun (bonus points if they were enemies or one of them is a celebrity/billionaire)
  • Arranged marriage and/or forced proximity – I just love these
  • Childhood friends to lovers – I don’t always need dark and/or intense, I love a good fluffy romance too
  • Redemption or second chances – The Dramione fanatic in me will forever want more of these stories, especially in fantasy
  • Only one bed or only one horse – Obvi
  • Unplanned or secret pregnancy – I know a lot of people don’t like these, but I adore them most of the time
