MY
FAVORITE TYPE OF ROMANCE….FATED LOVE
by
Vanessa Peters
There
is an undercurrent to all romance stories that pulls the reader in. Sure the sexy and steamy parts are a big
draw, but what keeps our dear Constant Reader coming back again and again is
the love story at the core of it all. We
all have our predilections towards a certain type of romance -- tragic love,
unrequited love, first love….
But,
what is it that attracts a reader to a particular type of love story? Why is one tale of romance more alluring than
another?
As a
teenager, I was drawn to any and all types of tragic romances, the darker the
better. But with age and experience, taste
and tendencies change, now in my thirties I find I prefer a love story centered
on…sigh…fated romance.
There
is a seed that is planted in the mind of our dear Constant Reader from every
tale we weave of fated love. It is a
seed born of lost loves, old crushes and lovers of days past, which blooms at
the end of each story. Fantasies of what-ifs
and a force greater than ourselves that could lead the love they lost at 18 to
suddenly reappear. Fate would weave a
web of events and chance encounters that would bring that one great love back
to them.
And
then maybe they end up being a werewolf too…but that’s a story for another day.♥
