Happy Hearts day, Wormies! How are you spending your day today? With a hot date? Watching a movie? Or Curling up with a good book?
I’m going for Curling up with a good book since Pierre is still working in the Gulf of Mexico. He will be back next week, so we will have our usual movie date nights.
I decided to pick one of my favorite tropes for today’s topic: friends to lovers! There is just something sweet about romances that start with friendship. Like ours did, so I guess, that’s why I have a soft spot for this trope. I also decided to pick Historical Romance since I have been reading QUITE A NUMBER of historical romances this last couple of months!

I love friends to lovers, so this list is perfect for me! I’ve read the Kleypas, MacLean, Dare and Heath ones from your list and I adore them. Eloisa James is an author I need to make more of an effort to pick up.

I know. Eloisa James is actually a hit and miss for me. But I definitely LOVE Kleypas, Dare and MacLean!
I have not read any of these, but I DO like the trope of friends to lovers most of the time. 🙂 It’s nice that they know each other so well already, you know?

Yes! I totally agree, Lauren! I also love the sibling best friend trope! 😀
oh I just adore this trope as well, and you listed so many good ones. I loved The Ugly Duchess and Seduce Me At Sunrise.

The Ugly Duchess is so-so for me. But Seduce Me at Sunrise is sooo sweet!
