Perhaps not my favorite trope, I didn‘t really get into the relationship. Of note, it‘s a clean romance, which I also enjoy. But if the relationship between the characters isn‘t working, it‘s even more noticeable in a clean romance.

Chachic Oh yes to anywhere where I can see the Northern Lights! I'd be okay with northern Norway too. 7y
LadyChristy ✋🏻Iceland is so amazing! 🇮🇸 We went in the spring, so no Northern Lights (not that big of a deal since I‘ve seen them at home), but I desperately want to go back over the winter sometime to catch them there because they are supposedly PHENOMENAL! 🌌 (edited) 7y
umbrellagirl 💙 Iceland 7y
brandymuses @LadyChristy I could probably see them by just going up to Canada, but I‘ve heard they‘re amazing in Iceland. @Chachic Norway would work too! 7y

Well written, but just too melodramatic for me and not my romance tropes: I‘ll put the plot spoiler in the comments. But I‘m sure it‘ll be other people‘s trope catnip and the historical romance genre needs more heroines like Theo. #romantsy #weneeddiversebooks #historicalromance

Verity Trope is Secret Baby - or at least child with father other than expected. I know I‘m in the minority here, because Secret babies/pregnancies are huge in romance, but I‘m so phobic about accidentally falling pregnant and or being left in the lurch/abandoned (even if in this case it‘s not intentional) that most of the time I just can‘t get past it. 7y
