Reconciliation Story<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every so often, one of the numerous romance novel blogs or sites will run a poll on readers\u2019 favorite romance tropes.\u00a0 From what I\u2019ve seen, along with wallflowers and marriages of convenience, the reconciliation story seems to be one of the top-ranked preferences for historical romances.<\/p>\n<p>Although I can\u2019t speak for other romance readers, of course, I can tell you why I like reading about reconciliations between husbands and wives, and also why writing a reconciliation story for my debut novel, <em><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Seducing the Duchess<\/strong><\/span><\/em>, appealed to me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Characters Have a History. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not only do the hero and heroine know each other in terms of their daily habits, likes, dislikes, and have an in-depth opinion of what makes the other tick, but they also intimately know each other\u2019s flaws.\u00a0 They\u2019ve been through courtship, the wedding, the wedding night.\u00a0 Because they\u2019re now separated\u2014for whatever reason\u2014they\u2019ve most likely seen each other at their worst.\u00a0 If they were in love at the beginning of their marriage, the first state of post-coital bliss has now waned, and they have to face the realization that the spouse who once fulfilled every dream may have suddenly become more like a nightmare.\u00a0 Because all pretenses have been stripped away and reality has set in, the reader knows that when the hero and heroine interact in the future, they will see each other for the person they truly are\u2014not a knight in shining armor or a pretty princess waiting to be rescued.\u00a0 We trust that if the characters reconcile, it is due to a love which is far greater than the powers of physical attraction or the excitement of the moment.\u00a0 No matter their flaws and past history, we will know that these characters <em>belong together<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure

from a mutual attraction, nor the jealousy of insecure love.\u00a0 In reconciliation stories, the reader is assured a much more evolved array of emotions.\u00a0 Yes, there is likely to be happiness toward the end, and jealousy somewhere in the middle, but there might also be anger, melancholy, desperation, loneliness, distrust, fear, disappointment, remorse, contempt, longing, and much more.\u00a0 As a reader of romance, I want to know the characters can have all of these emotions and still come through together at the end.\u00a0 As a writer, I want my readers to experience these emotions along with my hero and heroine, to feel my characters not only fall in love, but also see them turn to each despite these feelings.\u00a0 To know that, in the end\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is Hope for the Future.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Romance readers love our happily-ever-afters.\u00a0 We want to know that, despite the many internal and external conflicts and issues a relationship brings, the hero and heroine will always stay together.\u00a0 This is why we turn the last page of the last chapter and look for an epilogue.\u00a0 We want to know that one year, five years, or twenty years down the road, the characters will still be happy together and in love.\u00a0 Reconciliation stories are different from other romances in that they <em>are<\/em> the epilogues.\u00a0 In these books, the hero and heroine have already married, yet something has happened to force them apart.\u00a0 By showing the reader the struggle between the characters to make their marriage work and the reconciliation that comes despite their past troubles and mistakes, I as a writer can assure you that this couple can now make it through whatever else that comes their way.\u00a0 You can know that their happily-ever-after didn\u2019t end when the hero proposed, when they got married, or when the first baby arrived.\u00a0 Every day is their happily-ever-after, and because they love one another, there will always be hope for the future.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Are you a fan of reconciliation stories?\u00a0 I\u2019d love to hear what you love most about this oft-used plot that keeps you reading it over and over again.\u00a0 I want you to fall in love with Philip and Charlotte in their reconciliation story, and to see that you do, I\u2019ll be giving away a copy of <\/strong><strong><span
