My Top 5 Favorite Steamy Romance Tropes (And Why I Love Writing Them)

You know that moment when you stumble onto a book that hits all your favorite tropes — and you just melt inside?

 That’s what I wanted Timber Creek to feel like.

 Every book. Every chapter. Tension, dominance, surrender, and fierce, unbreakable love.

Here are the tropes I adore (and why you’ll find them over and over in my stories):

🔥 1. Enemies to Lovers

 Nothing’s hotter than that battle of wills.

 The push-pull, the stolen glances, the desperate kisses when they finally give in.

🔥 2. Runaway Bride / Captive Romance

 She tries to leave.

 He makes damn sure she can't.

 (And teaches her exactly who she belongs to.)

🔥 3. Discipline & Possession

 This isn’t random punishment.

 This is a man who loves you enough to correct you — and claim you fully.

🔥 4. Small Town Secrets

 Everyone’s watching.

 Everyone knows.

 And you better believe they know exactly what happens when a new woman gets snatched up.

🔥 5. Protective Alpha / Defiant Heroine

 My heroines are strong.

 My heroes are stronger — and they never back down.

If you crave these tropes like I do, you’re going to fall hard for the Timber Creek men.
