Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is our favorite trope/theme. One of my favorite tropes in romance books is when royalty and "commoners" fall in love - there's just something about two people from wildly different walks of life meeting, falling in love, and finding a way to overcome their differences - bonus points if it's a forbidden love! I actually did a Top Ten Tuesday with this theme about 5 years ago, but it seems like a great time to update my list!
What are some of your favorite royal romances?
IRL, love Princess Diana's wedding!! In romances,I'm totally with you as royalty with a commoner!!
ReplyDeleteDiana's wedding was before my time, but I loved watching William and Catherine's!
DeleteRed White and Royal Blue is my favorite royal romance so far but I also really enjoyed Once Upon a Royal Summer by Teri Wilson.
ReplyDeleteThat's on my TBR!
DeleteI love The Lunar Chronicles! 😍😍😍
ReplyDeleteMe, too!
DeleteThe Royal We and American Royals --- two of my faves! The Selection was so much fun, too! Great picks!
ReplyDeleteFun take on the topic! Red, White, and Royal Blue was such a fun one. So much love for Henry + Alex!
ReplyDeleteI've only read one from your list here - The Royal We - but I liked it a lot!
ReplyDeleteI love that book, probably because I'm such a fan of William and Catherine and this was kind of a spin on that.
DeleteI actually read six of these. Runaway Princess was one I want to read though. This is a fun trope. I find the most successful ones for me temper the drama. I have read ones that made too big a deal about the difference in status.
ReplyDeleteI like when the stories acknowledge that the "regular" person is going to face a huge change in their life. The Runaway Princess is one of my favorite books!
DeleteI've definitely not read enough of this trope. The only one that comes to mind is Truly Madly Royally by Debbie Rigaud. Super cute YA.
ReplyDeleteOoh, nice, will have to check that one out!
DeleteYesss one of my favorite tropes! I've read several of these, but Red, White & Royal Blue is one I want to get to soon!
ReplyDeleteI loved ALL the Lunar Chronicles books. I've recommended Cinder to my of my teenage students and I can't wait to re-read the series one day myself :)
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see Winter here!
I love the whole series, too! So cool that you recommend it to your students!
DeleteI read it years ago but remember loving The Runaway Princess. Someday I should dust it off for a re-read. :)
ReplyDeleteMe, too! I loved that book.
DeleteOh this is such a fun trope and I definitely need to read more of it! I did really love Winter and Red White and Royal Blue though :)
ReplyDeleteYay!
