Snappy and intellectual dialogue truly makes a book stand out for me. Oh, how I love the banter-especially when it’s done right. For me, I think it is more that the author thinks outside of the box and does things a little unconventionally from ‘normal’ romance devices.Īlso, the banter is a strong selling point for smart romances. The story doesn’t have to center around STEM topics for it to be smartly written, though. In smart romance books, the author’s writing style is typically plucky yet informative, sometimes includes technical or educational data/terminology, and usually involves rich plots of layered details. These are the traits that make me feel for a character and fall in love with them a little harder. Typically, at least one of the characters is unconventional and quirky, may be socially awkward, and has hidden (or not-so-hidden) flaws in their character.
