What’s your guilty pleasure when comes to book tropes?
I have many, but single parenting is, by far, one of my favourites. I know this is a trope that isn’t for everyone, that many don’t like to have kids as part of the relationship in romance but I, honestly, love it and devour the book in hours if it is really good. There will always be something special about finding someone you love and who loves you back just as much at any stage of your life. That someone can love your kid too. Since being a single parent can mean a bumpy road to many to love, these books bring so much hope.
Now now, enough of me talking because it’s time to jump into the recommendations Mary and I compiled for you.

When I brush my lips against hers, itโs so different from the kisses we shared the other day. Thereโs no anger. Thereโs no retribution. Thereโs just my need to connect with someoneโwith her.”
