Friends, I love learning about life from the darkest part of the romance journey. Most romances I’ve read have a dark shadow in them—a moment when the hero thinks things couldn’t get any darker within the context of their relationship. What’s beautiful about romance stories, particularly in category romance, is that this usually isn’t the end. There’s a turnaround—and it’s often to do with how the protagonist and their lover(s) get past the problem.
So, when things get dark, I remember Story. I say, “As with any story, this is not where my life has to stay. I will change things, grow, make things better. Just because I can’t see the HEA in this moment doesn’t mean it isn’t there waiting.”
Love to you all.
