Books by trope

We all have tropes we love and hate.

Some of us are all about an accidental pregnancy that pulls a couple into each other. Others of us want to avoid it at all costs (whether due to personal preference or traumatic experience). Some of us jump for joy when we see a grumpy x sunshine pairing, others of us find it unrealistic and want to see anything else.

While there are exceptions to every rule, if you want a book you can rely on, search here for a book by its tropes.

Accidental Pregnancy

A surprise baby brings unexpected twists, heartfelt moments, and a chance at love.

Arranged Marriage

From strangers to soulmates, love blossoms from the heart of a marriage neither of them chose.

The guy she shouldn’t want (but does) is finally noticing her in all the wrong—or right—ways.

Pretending to be in love was the plan, but falling for real wasn’t supposed to happen.
