I've been reading dark romances before I found out it was an actual legitimate categorisation of romance novels. Some dark romances are very dark indeed. I talk about that in this episode.
I'm an author of 2 women's fiction novels; After the Hurt and Caught Out. Both are available to purchase from the usual book shops.

I love those stories when he's loved her for ages but she hardly notices. In this episode I talk about books with that trope.

Yet another trope that I enjoy reading - where one of the main characters is the subject of mistaken identity. If it's because they have an identical twin, even better!
In this episode, I reference the Sauveterre Siblings series by Dani Collins. Specifically book 4 in the series; Prince's Son of Scandal.

I have only recently become a fan of this category of romantic fiction. The story by Mariana Zapata - Luna and the Lie - is one of the books that converted me. I talk about why in this episode.

Women's fiction and romantic fiction authors are giving us more main female characters who like sex and are not shamed or destroyed for it it. I talk about this in this latest book chat.
My next novel, Caught Out, due out in April 2025 (approx), features a female character who likes sex and makes no bones about it - pun intended!

Not technically an injured hero in this episode, the main male character, a young man, has a stroke within the first couple of chapters. I talk about why I loved this story and why I recommend it.

This is a tricky trope. Some authors would have been better off staying well away from it. Some have done this successfully - to my mind. In this episode, I use as an example of the trope done well the novel Escorted, written by Claire Kent. If you've read this story, what did you think of it?
