Romances offer affirming stories and characters to cheer for (and dream about). They are optimistic novels that relate tales of courtship, love, mutual respect, and appreciation. Romance fiction focuses on the developing relationship between the main characters, provides interesting story backdrops and details, and promises a happy ending. No matter if the story is about a duke in need of a duchess or next-door neighbors falling in love, the overarching feeling provided by these books is one of togetherness, support, and deep bonding.Drawn from the insights of RA experts Neal Wyatt and Joyce G.
