Hello! Happy Birthday Month, Amber Kell.
I’m here to share my memories of a special birthday with you all. For me it would be my 29th birthday. A strange number, right? It was the day my then-boyfriend now-husband proposed to me. He’d booked a couple of nights in the Rotunda in Birmingham (not the most exciting getaway I’d thought at the time as it’s close to home). At night we sat down with his laptop and he’d made me this little video of pictures of us across the ten years we’d been together set to Taylor Swift’s Love Story. At the lyric ‘Marry me, Juliet’ the music cut, and he paused the video and proposed, giving me a little scroll inviting me to a day out in the Jewellery Quarter to go pick out a ring. A bit late for spoiler warnings but I said yes!
I feel lucky to have such a wonderful birthday memory.

Your husband is obviously very romantic, such a clever proposal and a great birthday memory. No wonder you said yes.

Enemies to lovers
Aww how romantic!
Loved both those books!
Your hubby is so sweet. I like the Paranormal Romance and Fantasy Romance Tropes
That was so lovely your husband (to be) was very romantic.
That’s a wonderful memory to have! I love paranormal stories and enjoy a good marriage of convenience story on occasion. 🙂
What a great birthday! I love enemies to lovers stories. So much can happen with that.
It’s hard to choose a genre that is my favourite as I like them all but if push came to shove I guess I will go with paranormal
Great birthday story, I can’t choose a favorite troupe, I love them all.
I love paranormal and fantasy stories. I love the friends to lovers trope or Gay for you trope.
You are very lucky to have a man like that and when they are that nice young they age to fantastic. Lucky girl.
awww, that’s an awesome memory; hmm for tropes, enemies to lovers is always fun
Thanks for sharing. I love May/December and daddy tropes.
I love 💘 all the troupes
There aren’t many tropes that I don’t like, but my top ones are friends to lovers, GFY and forced proximity.
I love to read enemies to lovers.
My all time fav trope is fantasy enemies to lovers. Love when it’s between prince/king and a warrior.
Thank you for sharing a great birthday story. I love age gap, best friend’s brother (or father), and friends to lovers
It sounds like a great memory. Thank you for sharing this with us. I love friend to lover stories.
Sucker for beauty and the beast
Lovely birthday memory. So many tropes, so hard to choose. Gay for you, sassy heroine, and any paranormal are some of my faves.
What a lovely memory. Thanks for sharing. I like the friends to lovers trope
Such a lovely trope (pretend boyfriends), but as for a favorite. I’m not sure. I guess it depends on how it all plays.
Assassin/mobster, suspense, mystery, action/adventure, paranormal
Beauty and the Beast, Age Gap, lingerie, Daddy, Vampire’s
Sci-fi
Friends to lovers
Great proposal!! My faves would be GFY, scifi/apocalyptic and pretend boyfriends (can’t wait to read those two)
