Started in April 2017 by Ana Coqui, RomBkLove occurs twice a year on Twitter. Ana’s website states:
What is #RomBkLove?
It is a month-long opportunity for readers to celebrate the romance they love to read and to help cultivate romance-centric conversations. Each day during a #RomBklove event, there is a different prompt to drive discussion.
Here are my answers to the prompts – just in time to buy yourself a few books for the holiday period. I didn’t find answers to all of them, because life got in the way, but I hope you find a good book or few among them.
1 Couldn’t Put It Down
2 Fluffy
3 Made You Blush
4 Sports
5 Still Looking: Hard-to-Find Tropes
6 Civic Engagement: Public Service, Politics, & Activism

9 Unlikable Heroines
The whole town dislike her and she’s prickly and awkward but adorable.
10 What Did I Just Read? OTT & WTF
He pretends to be his dead twin, and the plot is basically total crazy sauce. It’s problematic as hell, but also amazingly creatively plotted.
11 Cross-Class: There are so many Dukes and governesses, but the one I adore the most is Tessa Dare’s Any Duchess will do where a Duke picks a servant and bets his mother can’t turn her into a Duchess.
12 In Uniform: Not strictly in uniform, but I adored the way this book twisted up the biker romance trope.
13 Stolen Kisses & Sexy Interludes
14 Power Dynamics
15 Slump Busters
16 Just a Fling
17 Fantastical: Fantasy & Urban Fantasy
18 Romantic Bargains: Fake Relationships & MOCs: I love these, and have written two.
19 Holidays
20 Rom-Coms
21 Travel
22 Found Family
23 Crafts & Hobbies
The fourth book in my Merindah Park series has a heroine whose hobby is pedigree analysis, and that’s how she meets the hero – a horse trainer.
24 Sweet as Pie/Cinnamon Rolls
25 Get a Clue! Romantic Mysteries: I love historicals that have a mystery thread running through them, such as
26 Hometowns Many Australian Rural Romances have a theme of returning home to the farm or small town. I’ve enjoyed Echo Springs, particularly:
27 Introverts: Bookworms, Wallflowers, & Recluses
28 Extroverts: Life of the Party
29 SFR & Space Opera
30 Can’t Read Just One – Courtney Milan. Her Duchess War series was the first one of hers I read, and I had to read everything she’d ever written immediately!
