We know them. We love them. Them being our favourite tropes. And they might the reason we gravitate to certain stories. Within the romance genre there are many subgenres and many tropes. Just like in television and the movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to note that Enemies to Lovers or Hate to Love, although one of my favourites, can come with some challenging or problematic behaviours and scenarios. The power balance is very important in enemies to lovers stories. Unfortunately, there are storylines out there that don’t have that balance. I’m thinking of stories about women who are enslaved or captured and end up in a relationship with their captors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the main characters must be antagonists, they must both be seen as redeemable. As readers, we’re rooting for both of them even if they have a lot of work to do before they are ready to be in love. There must be tension and conflict but there must also be transformation. They must overcome their mutual acrimony to be able to develop their romantic relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of my favourite stories with an Enemies to Lovers trope:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne of Green Gables<\/a> by Lucy Maud Montgomery Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe (One of my very favourite books!) Young Adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heated Rivalry<\/a> by Rachel Reid, Book 2 in her Game Changers Series. Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov. Swoon. One of my all time favourite romances and Ilya Rozanov is one of my all time favourite characters. The whole series is fantastic. And steamy! MM Romance. Contemporary Romance. Hockey Romance. Canadian Author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book Lovers<\/a> by Emily Henry Contemporary Romance. Romantic Comedy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other favourite tropes I’ve covered: Starting Over in a Small Town<\/a>; and Reunited or Second Chance at Love<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My novel Off The Grid<\/a> would be definitely fall under the Enemies to Lovers trope!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A committed doctor to Vancouver’s inner city, nothing fazes Sophie Monroe\u2014until a pregnant teenager shows up at her clinic on Christmas Eve requesting sanctuary and claiming the baby’s father is one of the city’s most influential businessmen. Sophie is in over her head and thankful when aid shows up in the form of an attorney who’s a little too confident and a lot too sexy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family Law expert Caleb Quinn just wants a date, a chance to prove he isn’t the elitist jerk Sophie assumes. Helping deliver a baby is not what he has in mind. But before long protecting a traumatized teenager and her son become his first priority. Even if saving them pits him against the baby’s father, a childhood friend. A man who will do anything to keep his dark side private.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But justice never comes cheap. Will doing the right thing cost Sophie and Caleb their reputations? Or their lives?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next time…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
