Welcome to another TTT! This week’s topic was submitted by Alice @ The Wallflower Digest and is: Books that Include/Feature [insert your favorite theme or plot device here]. Examples include unreliable narrators, coming of age, darkness vs. light, time travel, metafiction, a specific romantic trope, good vs. evil. cliffhangers, flashbacks, plot twists, red herrings, loose ends, stories within stories, meet cutes, symbolism, etc. You know me, I love romance novels! I’ve decided to share ten of my favorite romance novels featuring my favorite trope: the fauxmance. What’s a fauxmance, you say? Fake romance! This means fake dating, fake engagement/courtship, and fake marriage. You’ll probably notice that some of these titles are frequently mentioned in my TTT lists, but that’s because they’re some of my favorite books of all time! Books with asterisks after them indicate that the romances are closed-door. Here we go!
