I guess I really came out swinging by making this my first theme. Most of these will be old-hat to you by now, but I hope you’ll see some that are new to you, and how could I make a list without them? It seems like most of these form the bedrock of the Sci-Fi Romance genre. I love our meeker Beta heros and definitely don't think they're not enough.We’re kicking this off with a popular but under-served trope: language barriers! Below I have gathered some of my favourites. So, have you got something interesting for me? 😃

Somehow, all this post could be summoned by a quote from Strange Love by Ann Aguire, I read recently. It would be nice, if Hh somehow questioned the ways of society, but that's not necessary. When meeting heroine, our perfectly nice/subdued/accustomed to such lifestyle hero starts slowly getting possesive/ territorial/ dominant/ ready to protect and defend heroine/ alpha-male-ish.

So: that needs to be science-fiction or fantasy or dystopian novel. know what I want to read, but it's a little bit hard to explain.

But I also love getting recommendations from you. I ask a lot, my TBR is getting dangerously long, try to keep up with it. I know the title is a little bit ambiguous.
