#L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge – My Favorite Tropes
Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge August 5, 2020 – My favorite tropes of Paranormal Romance and Cozy Mystery genre! WOW, so many choices. Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and try a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie.
My favorite tropes in Paranormal Romance, I want more than romance. I want a mystery, what makes the Hero and Heroine click? Is an outside source bringing them together? Also want a little folklore sprinkled in. Accidental Time Travel (Forgive my blatant promo – Mystic Maples) When Mercy discovers the truth, Silvanus’ well-ordered life unravels and they’re catapulted into the past to right a wrong. Of course a happy ever after ending. I know this isn’t exactly a troup, but it’s close. LOL
In Cozy Mystery, my favorite tropes are – Search for a hidden treasure of some kind. Travel to a land of enchantment to break a curse or find a missing person. Time Travel with a purpose to solve a long time mystery. A good old fashion who done it. All must have a happy ever after ending.
Also, anything with robots, nanotech, or cyber security, I love these tropes! Did I mention I LOVE my Irobot Rumba (Bitti)? Bitti Vacuums my whole upstairs and schedule twice a week and tells me when she’s through. Gotta love tech.
So there you have it My favorite tropes of Paranormal Romance and Cozy Mystery genre. How about you? Any favorite tropes of Paranormal Romance or Cozy Mystery or maybe a different genre?
Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom preparing promo on my upcoming release HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC (Still waiting on cover art and release date). Chocolate Raspberry Magic is in pre-galley now release date been extended until April 2021. And working on a new WIP sixth book in A Demon’s Witch Series(very exciting and coming along very well) so let’s see what other authors chose as their favorite tropes in their genre. L&SR

A little about Charm Me Again:
Two families long divided brought together through an adventure of a lifetime. Breaking the curse is only the first step to forever.
For several months a Scottish Highland Ghost has haunted Daylan, in his personal life, his professional life and at his forge. Yet, being a talented warlock, he is no closer to discovering what the ghost wants or why he chose Daylan. A trip to his estranged sister’s home in Colorado may have unforeseen consequences especially when family history leads him to a shocking discovery.
As his attraction blooms for Josie, a yoga instructor in his sister’s studio, he realizes there may be more to Josie than he can imagine. When an ancient rogue Fae Warrior set on revenge kidnaps her in an attempt to claim her as his own, a devastating curse comes to light.
Daylan’s world spirals out of control as he searches for Josie. Can he break the age old curse to save her and their future, or will she be lost to him forever?

I love reading about time travel that solves an old mystery! Good list.
Happy you enjoyed my list. Thank you for stopping in!
Yes, “outside source bringing them together” is what I like most about Paranormal Romances, too. THAT’S what I find intriguing. Best of luck with Charm Me Again!

I have never read a book that uses time travel to solve an old mystery – but that sounds like a lot of fun!! Any recommendations?

Oh, fun – you covered more than one genre! On the time travel & mystery front, I recently finished To Say Nothing Of The Dog and very much enjoyed it. (I can’t remember who recommended it; it might actually have been one of these blog prompts.)
I went with a different genre; my answer is here.
