Top Ten Things I Like/Dislike When It Comes To Romances In Books

 

 

Top Ten Things I Like/Dislike When It Comes To Romances In Books

 
The Dislikes:
 
1. Cheating. Of any kind. I don't care if one of the parties involved is a jerk....Not good and a complete turn off of any book I read.
 
2. Love triangles. Especially in contemporary fiction, love triangles just aren't realistic.
 
3. Insta-love. "Hey I just met you, and this is crazy,".......Yes it is crazy.
 
 
Those are my top three dislikes in romance.
 
Now for my likes......
 
1. Best friend romances (or just friends) (done well of course).....
Some of my favorites:
On the FenceBetter off Friends
 
2. Love outside of the clichés.....
Confusing topic to explain, but this is one of my favorites.
