Modern Romance

The stories are set in contemporary times, with characters facing realistic challenges like career pressures or family dynamics that can complicate their love story. Modern romances focus on developing relationships between protagonists, progressing slowly over time as they learn more about one another and work toward mutual understanding. The genre also celebrates different forms of love, such as friendship or platonic relationships that may exist before or after the main romantic plotline.
