#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

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?

How CHARM ME AGAIN began:
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?
A peek between the pages of CHARM ME AGAIN:
She swallowed hard and blinked.
Out of the mist, in full Scottish regalia, a ghost stood, his transparent red and green belted plaid blowing in the breeze.
She shook her head, closed her eyes, scrubbed her hands over her eyes, and blinked them open. “What the hell?” burst from her lips before she could control herself. “It’s some kind of bad dream. Right?” She rubbed her eyes again opening only one this time. “Shit, you’re all still here.” She dropped her arms to her sides and glared at Daylan then Summer. “Someone better tell me what’s going on—right now.” Her hands fisted and unfisted at her sides.
Daylan returned her scathing look. “Later.”
“We meet again Shay.” The ghost said. “What kind of attire are ye wearing?”
“Never mind. Ye are the cause of the problem, Daylan.” The leader glared at the ghost.
“Oh, no—not this time,” the ghost said.
Daylan stood straight. “No way. I’m not taking the blame for this.”
Shay grinned. “Oh, now things are falling in place.” He pointed a finger at Daylan. “You are his namesake and that is why Khellan has returned.” He flicked a finger at the ghost. “And you have attached to your namesake hoping he or his twin can break the curse. What a tangle.” Shifting his gaze to her, he continued. “This young lass is caught in the middle with naught power to protect herself.”
“For god sakes. She’s mortal. How can she be caught in the middle?” Daylan shouted. “She shouldn’t even be able to see what’s happening.”
“Yet she does. Something to think about.” Shay shrugged one shoulder. “She is besotted with you, as you are with her. The lass’s blood may be diluted, but it’s there. The cycle begins again.”

A sneak peek between the pages of An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement: The hook.
Dislodged rocks and sticks bounced down the path ahead of him as he stopped to admire the view and noticed something in the brush.
She lay naked, battered, and beaten several yards off the trail. Her long, straight black hair fanned around her head, tangled with twigs and bits of grass. Caden moved silently toward her, stopped, and picked up a Bureau of Indian Affairs ID a few feet from where she lay. He stuffed it in his pocket while watching the surrounding area for signs of her attackers. Kneeling down at her side, he saw scratches and bruises on her high-sculpted cheekbones and her full lips had a shading of blue around them. He placed his hand lightly on her chest, felt a weak heartbeat and sensed a brave soul unwilling to give up. God, this is the last thing I need.
Summoning medical help here was futile. The altitude at 12,092 feet, combined with rocky terrain, made it difficult for most rescue vehicles. They’d be too late to save her. He slid his hands under her body. At his touch, a scene unfolded in his mind of snarling wolves, the valiant fight she waged against a male until she was too weak to defend herself any longer, then blackness.
