Would you read a virus pandemic romance?

I had a little look at dystopian romance recently and was wondering if there'd be an upsurge in demand for those books given current times. This led me to another thought. Will romance change under the new conditions we have to live under? What are authors going to write next? Romance has always been trendsetting in its content and changing with the times. We certainly saw that with the #metoo movement and how authors adapted their writing with regards to consent. Will this new world we are living in have an impact on how romance will be written?

Cheating in romance. Is it okay or not?

I'm in a particular book group where cheating in romance seems to be a hot topic or a trigger for most people in it. Every time someone recommends a book, you can bet your bottom dollar the first question asked is "is there cheating?" I saw so much of it that it made me curious about the topic and how it is viewed in a romance novel.

Busting some coronavirus myths and answering questions

Hello all, I hope you are doing well. The world has gone crazy. There is a lot of misinformation as well as information overload going on. Like everyone else, I am feeling the impact of all of this. In fact, I've had to take a little break from the constant news cycle churn for my sanity.

Will dystopian post-apocalyptic romance start trending?

Hello!!! First of all, I want to say I hope everyone is well and safe. The world is changing by the hour around us, and it is uncertain and often scary. I'd like to say that we are all in this together. No one is untouched by what is happening and I hope that as a community, we can come together in care, comfort, and support. Turn off the news for a moment if it gets too much. Stay connected to loved ones virtually. Drink your favorite adult beverage. Read a romance. Go to your happy place.

We are home early

Hello all,

I am home... early. Due to everything going on in the world we had to cut our trip short because firstly, I'm no longer allowed into the US and then of course, with everything shutting down and locking down we decided it was best to get home as quickly as possible.
