“We can’t just fight the kind of depravities of American fascism with something that just makes people feel sad all the time, makes people feel scared all the time. We have to show what it would feel like to be alive.”
To me, this is the power of the romance novel.
(Unless you’re a romance reader, you don’t know what I mean. I’m not talking about a romantic novel like “The Notebook” or any random book featuring a love story that may end in divorce or death. The romance novel promises a happy ending —HEA— for the couple.)

This means books by Lyssa Kay Adams, Alyssa Cole, Adriana Hererra, Beverly Jenkins, Sarah MacLean, Nora Roberts, me (Tara L.

In so doing, the romance novel offers some readers a vision and a map to navigate real life trials.
