Fave romance theme

October 25, 2007 by shilohwalker

What’s your fave romance theme?

I really loved the reunited lovers thing…you know, guy and girl madly in love.  Guy or girl screws up or something equally dramatic happens and they are separated, reunited years later and gasp!  That sizzle is there.  They’ve got trust issues to work past, feelings of betrayal (you gotta love the emotion that can get inside those kind of scenes) and still overcome whatever obstacle lies ahead for their story before they can live happily ever after.

But even though I love this theme, it’s easy to mess it up.   If it was a major issue that separated them (and it usually is)  the wrong party (or parties) isn’t going to let go of their anger so easily, but too often, it’s like all the hurt feelings, the anger, are just swept under the rug.  Does love conquer?  It should, especially in a romance-no, scratch that.  In a romance, it has to.  But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.  It should be an uphill battle because that’s what really gets the big pay off at the end.  If it’s too easy, there’s really not much of a story, is there?

So what do you like?  Love at first sight, boss/employee secret crushes, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers… and the list goes on… and on….  Don’t you love romance?

    I like friends to lovers & reunion stories. Those are my favorite kinds. But I like just about anything though.

    I love the friend to lovers romance. I love the reunion stories. Actually I love all romance. As long as the couple comes out to a happily ever after, I’m happy.

    My favorite is probably the secret crush. Though not all that romantic in real life, I love the idea of the hero being in love with the heroine, especially if they grew up together.

    Another is the enemies turning to lovers. I love all that heated passion, the obstacles the two have to get past to be together.

    But like Patty L. says, I love all kinds of romance, as long as the hero and heroine get their HEA.
