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
