Reviewing Romance Novels
This vella focuses on romance novels. Instead of a fictional account, this non-fiction story covers some the reasons people read romance (despite heavy opposition), who reads it, as well as popular romance tropes, sub-genres, and terminology. Once we have a better understanding of the genre as a whole, we'll hit the reviews of some of the romance novels I've read.
