Viv's Favourite Tropes

There are romance tropes I adore, and I love sharing my favs with you.

If there's a trope YOU love, let me know, and I'll see if it's one I love too, and I'll find some recommendations to share, because book talk is vital to happiness!

**

Featured trope: One Night Stands

Delicious. Kind of forbidden, which makes them a complete power move. Secrets to be kept. A flash of red-hot lust.

All of that pretty much describes the one-night-stand trope.

Sometimes this one gets mixed up with other tropes, like accidental pregnancy, oops-he's my boss, or big-brother's best friend. But at the core, one-night-stands are about two people moving quickly, and then afterward having to learn how to maneuver through relationship building.

How hard is it to sit and learn more about a person—their likes and dislikes. Their fears and dreams—when you've already seen them naked? A great book in this trope explores that trouble in a way that makes you cheer and hope for their future happiness.

They've obviously already got the physical chemistry to make it work. 😉 

I hope you enjoy these one night stand romances. I've been looking for new titles to offer you, and I have a couple of great ones.

Dragon in Disguise by TB Mann

Paranormal, MFM. Hot!

And tons of fun. I really enjoyed these three together, and the one-night stand within a paranormal setting worked well.

Winning It All by Victoria Denault

Super fun and emotional story that includes hockey players and some great female friendships. I liked how the one-night stand fit with both of them, and how they acted in the days later. Sexy, and great development.

French Canadien hero as well. Yum!

Rush by S.M. West

Really, really well done story with high emotion and a black moment where I totally believed they were never going to find happiness.

But they do, and YAY! I'm so glad.

My life is falling apart. 

Fired from my job.
Blacklisted across NYC.
At odds with my mother.
The only thing good I have to hold on to is the memory of my steamy one-night stand.
