Welcome to my Romance Trope Bracket Tournament. Once a month, I’m going to post a new matchup.
Comment with YOUR vote for which trope YOU prefer to read.
Then visit the tropes below to see my book recommendations for each trope.
Opposites Attract
The hero and heroine, who are opposites in temperament, personality, or other characteristics, end up falling for one another despite those differences.
Here are four of my favorite opposites-attract stories!
A Lady’s Guide to Marvels and Misadventure by Angela Bell
Beyond These War Torn Lands by Cynthia Roemer
Christmas at Whitefriars by Elizabeth Camden
The Convicts Courtship by KyLee Woodley
Anonymous Love & Secret Admirer
Involves characters who fall in love without knowing each other’s true identities, or a character who has romantic feelings for another person but keeps their identity hidden, often expressing their affection through anonymous gifts or letters.
Here are three of my favorite anonymous love / secret admirer stories.
Letters for Phoebe by Sally Britton
A Secret Correspondence by Kasey Stockton
An Agreeable Alliance by Kasey Stockton
My favorite trope enemies to lovers
That is one of my favorites too!
Anonymous Love / Secret Admirer
I can’t wait to write the story that’s been simmering in my head for years, which is a Secret Admirer/Anonymous Love Christmas story. Now just to figure out when God wants that one actually written.
It’s completely impossible for contemporary books, but I just love marriage of convenience!
Did you see that Sarah Monzon’s upcoming one is a contemporary marriage of convenience? I can’t wait to see how she pulls that off.
I enjoy variety, so opposites attract would be my choice.
My hubby and I fall into this category. He came from a broken, neglected, abusive home and I came from a loving home like Leave it to Beaver. We met my last semester of college as coworkers. He was determined to give up looking for a Christian girl (because they “mercy dated” guys) and I had given up on guys in my state as they didn’t know how to “define the relationship” and just hung around. 😂
Our marriage has not been perfect, but through patience, grace (modeled by our heavenly Father), commitment to Jesus and determination we’ve celebrated 23 years!
What a fun idea! My vote for August is Opposites Attract.
Thanks! I was hoping y’all would think it’s fun!
Marriage of convenience
Those are so fun!
Nothing better then a good enemies to lovers. Im reading “A most perculiar circumstance” from Jen Turano right now. Big recommendation
Opposites Attract
That is a fun trope to see how people balance each other out.
I prefer Opposites Attract over Secret Admirer
That is a fun one to read. I like seeing how people can balance each other out.
My absolute favorite is Enemies-to-lovers, but for these two, Opposites Attract has to win!
I love enemies-to-lovers as well!
Opposites attract is my vote
Hard to choose one. Enemies to Lovers and Marriage of Convenience
Opposites Attract is my choice.
Such a fun idea! I have recently started really to love fake relationship. Second chance is my favorite though!
My favorite is opposites attract.
Opposites Attract
Anonymous love/Secret admirer.
Definitely Opposites Attract. They do. Anonymous is too scary for a romance. Not for a suspense, lol
