Synopsis
Love happy, memorable, and passionate romances?
Sick of tragic endings and characters dying left and right?
Want to write the next great happy romance?
Then this is the book for you.
I'm a romantic. I love to have fun. And I like my romantic stories with a sweet balance of escapism and realism: Enough adventure to transport you to another world, with just the right amount of realism so that you know it can happen to you too.
I'm an avid romance movie/series watcher and romcom novel reader. I'm also a romance author and screenplay writer.
I want my readers to have fun, first and foremost. I want to make them laugh and smile. Everything else is secondary.
Which is why I stay away – as much as I can – from tearjerkers with sad endings.
In this book, I go over some of the most entertaining and romantic romance movies with happy endings.
In deciding what makes the story work, I take you through:
