In honor of Valentine's day this month, and because I did indeed marry my brother's best friend, I'm whipped up some new lyrics to the Sound of Music's "My Favorite Things", to celebrate some of my favorite steamy romance novel tropes.
Everyone sing along...with apologies to singing nuns everywhere.
Sharp-pointed canines and whiskers on shifters
Billionaire playboys built like pro weight lifters
Rodeo cowboys tying her up with ropes
These are a few of my favorite tropes!
Arrogant athletes who usually date models
Fall for curvy divorcees with children who toddle
A soft-hearted woman tames a hard-bitten man
I use these great tropes whenever I can!
When the vamp bites, or rockstar sings
Messing with her head,
She goes to the bar with
girlfriends for drinking
and she wakes up with him instead!
The boy she grew up with, her hopes he still dashes
Her brother’s best friend, now a dom who gives lashes
Submissive sweetheart who marries the king
These romance tropes are my favorite things!
When the vamp bites, or rockstar sings
Messing with her head,
She goes to the bar with
girlfriends for drinking
and she wakes up with him instead!
