Reese Ryan Books by Trope List

Sometimes we’re just in the mood for a particular trope. So in addition to listing my books by series in the main menu, you’ll find a list of tropes below. My books often have more than one trope. So you’ll find several books listed in multiple categories.

Note: I primarily write Black Romance (meaning that all love interests are Black). Also, the majority of my characters are aged 30+ (what I call Grown Folks Romance). I don’t consider Black Romance or Grown Folks Romance a trope and both apply to most of my books. So I did not create categories for either.
