Description

Popular romance author Margot Bradley has a secret: she doesn't believe in Happily Ever Afters. Not for herself, not for her readers, not even for her characters. When a super-fan leaks this to the world, Margot is dropped faster than you can say 'enemies-to-lovers.'

Her sister thinks she needs a change of scene and sends Margot off to a remote Alaskan cabin on a writing retreat that could be the perfect chance to say goodbye to romcoms and write something new - maybe swap meet-cutes for murder mysteries But then she meets the handsome owner, Forrest:

She's a city girl; he's a lumberjack - of course he is.
He's grumpy - wait, is she sunshine Oh no.
At least there's no forced proximity.
But that snowstorm is heading straight for their cabin...

As one trope after another draws them together over long snowy nights, one thing is clear: Margot and Forrest have landed in a romance novel of their very own. But will they each be able to overcome their fears, or risk becoming another of Margot's Happily Never Afters themselves...

Reviews

Any Trope But You is truly a breath of fresh air. Touching, heartfelt and swoon-worthy with crackling banter and mastery of romantic and comedic timing, Victoria Lavine tells a story of love, failure, longing, and family against a snowy, cozy landscape. Brilliant and effervescent, with imperfect characters who live and truly learn, Lavine poetically twists tropes in a way that will have you melting through to the very end. -- Peyton Corinne, author of Unsteady
Incredibly clever, deeply relatable, and sparkling with the full spectrum of emotions, ANY TROPE BUT YOU is everything I love in a romance. Victoria Lavine is your next auto-buy author. * Tarah DeWitt, USA Today bestselling author of Savor It and Funny Feelings *
Snowy, sparkling, full of witty banter and cozy vibes, I absolutely loved this book. The characters leap off the page to meet you, the antics are delightful, and it is extremely big-hearted. I read it in one huge gulp and had a great time. * Laura Wood, author of Under Your Spell *

Author Bio

Victoria Lavine's love of romance novels started in high school with a crate of old bodice rippers and a wink from her local librarian. Now, she writes her own Happily Ever Afters when she's not enjoying the great state of Maine with her husband and daughter, taking orders from her two cats, or coming up with excellent reasons to make her next latte.
