Electra Editorial specializes in the romance genre. Why would a group of editors focus only on romance? Well, here’s our response to the question, What do YOU love most about the romance genre?

Mia Francis: There’s so much that I love about romance. Hunky alphas; strong, spirited heroines; almost impossible odds that the couple has to fight against to bring them to their Happily-Ever-After—all of it is a great setup for a story. My favorite thing about the genre, though, is meeting new characters. I feel the happiest when I’m reading a novel and it feels like a totally new experience because the characters are completely unique and have strong personalities. I love it when I’m reading a story and I can say to myself, “Man, it’s nice to meet these characters. I love them. I’d like to stay with them for a while.”

Paige Prince: What do I love about romance? Wow, that’s such a broad question. And my answer is probably equally so. I love the possibilities in romance. There are so many sub-genres that I could pick up one novel and read about a post-apocalyptic world where vampires are the good guys, or grab another set in Regency-era London following a thief on his quest for revenge only to stumble into love with the daughter of his nemesis.

I love the journey that the author takes you on in each book. I love watching two characters overcome what seems to be insurmountable obstacles to be together. I’m a sucker for a happily-ever-after ending in a world where real life HEAs aren’t all that common. Escaping into a good book takes me to my happy place.

Elise Hepner: My favorite thing about romance novels is their ability to soothe and comfort me on my worst day. They continue to show me that through the power of intense emotions and sometimes scrambled communication, anything is possible. Plus, sometimes it’s just nice to see two snarky people who are completely unsuited for each other find love one hilarious hijinks after another—can you tell what sub-genre of romance I’m partial to yet?

Deelylah Mullin: Mia and Elise took my answers! Really, though? When I’m reading romance, I feel that I’m able to totally escape reality for just a little while. It gives my brain the break it needs from running at break-neck pace through all the ‘things’ that are every-day life. I like exploring new authors because they’re an unknown for me. I get to learn their voice, perspective, and characters. One of my favorite things about romance genres, however, is the fact that I’ve not explored every facet, author, or category. It’s still a wild adventure for me every time I load up a new story to my e-reader. I would be the adrenaline junkie of romance readers.

About Jackie 3282 Articles
I am a 30-something SAHM with two adorable boys and a supportive husband who is very tolerant of my reading addiction. I love to read and easily go through about a dozen books a month – well I did before I had kids. Now, not so much. After my first son was born, I began to take my hobby of reviewing a little more serious and started Literary Escapism to help with my sanity. I love to discuss the fabulous novels I’ve read and meeting all the wonderful people in the book blogging community has been amazing.
