(Please note: This is by no means a complete list of romance tropes, but I think it covers most of the tropes I’ve written. Heat ratings are listed at the bottom of the page, following the tropes.)

Also, you can check out the blog post, “If you liked ____, you might also enjoy ______.”

Alpha hero: Promises, Song of Oestend, Saviours of Oestend (Oestend is teeming with alphas!), One Man’s Trash

Not-quite Alpha hero (not necessarily a real trope, but I had a lot of heroes who were borderline alphas): Promises, Between Sinners and Saints, Family Man, Roped In, Damned If You Do, Blind Space, Spare the Rod, No Good Deed, Never a Hero

BDSM: (I’m not sure exactly where to draw the line between “real” BDSM vs. a story with BDSM elements, but I’ll try.) Roped In, One Man’s Trash, Terms of Service, Spare the Rod, No Good Deed

BDSM elements (stories that contain some element of bondage, etc., but aren’t necessarily about the BDSM lifestyle): Release, Song of Oestend, Strawberries for Dessert (that last one is very mild and only barely qualifies)

Best Friend’s Sibling/Best Friend’s Ex: Making Waves, No Good Deed

Billionaire (or just vaguely rich): Strawberries for Dessert, Flowers for Him, Normal Enough, Release

Bittersweet: One More Soldier, To Feel the Sun

Fish Out of Water: Song of Oestend, Trailer Trash

Fling (sex comes first, love comes later): Strawberries for Dessert, Flowers for Him, Chapter Five and the Axe-Wielding Maniac and Apartment 14 and the Devil Next Door (when taken together), One Man’s Trash, Terms of Service, Spare the Rod

Forbidden Love (a lot of gay romance could count as “forbidden”, I guess, but I’m only counting those where the “forbidden” part is a major element of conflict for at least one of the characters): Between Sinners and Saints, To Feel the Sun, Shotgun, Trailer Trash, Damned If You Do, No Good Deed, Release

Hurt/Comfort: Between Sinners and Saints, Family Man, Lost Along the Way, Trailer Trash, Release, One Man’s Trash, Winter Dreams

Love Triangle(ish): Release, Roped In, Terms of Service, Winter Oranges, Winter Dreams, Lost Along the Way (None of these are true love triangles. Release is more a case of conflicting loyalties. The others are more about being in love with somebody they can't have, but then falling for somebody completely new instead.)
