This week, on the Romance Writers Weekly blog hop, we're asked, "Do you have any favorite, or least favorite tropes?"
That's a really good question! There are a lot of tropes I like--some that I like to read, some that I like to write, some that I like for both. Second Chance Romance is probably one of my favorites. But Friends to Lovers and Opposites Attract are two more that I also really enjoy. I'm not sure what the official name is for stories where one of the main characters has gone undercover or is lying about their true identity, but that's one I keep returning to. Also, Amnesia is a trope that I always hated--until I wrote one, and then another! It's so fun to write!
My upcoming re-release, The Spirit of the Place, is an Opposites Attract story. It's also a Christmas story--which is another of my absolute favorite tropes (if it can be considered a trope--I think it can) and a re-telling of a Christmas classic. In this case, there's a nod to A Christmas Carol in that one of my secondary characters is visited by three ghosts--an event that begins with a visit from someone who looks like her dead partner.
Now, hop on over to Jill Haymaker's page and learn what tropes she likes. And don't forget to check out her book, Return to Pine Meadows.
