MEGATHREAD: SMALL TOWN ROMANCES

Trope rec megathread

Hello r/RomanceBooks! You said you’d like more mega threads and I’m here to deliver!

This megathread is going to be about: SMALL TOWN ROMANCES

Here is a link to all previous MEGATHREADS.

What is a SMALL TOWN ROMANCE? This is when the setting is a small town. There's often nosy neighbors, county fairs, and someone returning from the Big City.

Here’s how this works.

  • Drop a comment down below with your recommended book(s).
  • What’s the subgenre? What’re the pairing? Is it Contemporary Romance or Historical Romance or...? MF, MM, FF...?
  • Explain how it fits the trope. What are some small town things that happen in the book?
  • Tell is why you love the book. “Well written” doesn’t count: let’s just assume they all are. Things like “smoking hot” and “character growth” and “amazing world building” are all acceptable.
  • What other tropes does the book have? Enemies to lovers? Slow burn?
  • Character archetypes! Is the MMC alpha male? Or a single dad? Is she a doctor or a librarian?

So tell us, what’s your favorite SMALL TOWN ROMANCE?
