A Guide to Writing a Completely Predictable Romance Novel
1. Start with a down-on-her-luck woman, preferably with a kid or two that has a deadbeat dad. Make sure this woman hasn't been on a date or treated well in years by a man.
2. For extra support, add in a wise, all-knowing mom who gives unsolicited advice all the time. A sassy but ultimately background best friend who is there for the girl to vent to.
3. Have the woman meet the love interest of the story in a completely unlikely but cutesy way, preferably in her place of work.
4. The love interest is a handsome, down-to-earth, extremely wealthy professional athlete of some sort. Also, he has never really had a serious romantic relationship.
5. The love interest woos her in a completely unsubtle way (some might even say stalkerish and unrelenting). He also bonds with her children and becomes a pseudo father-figure (because of course there are never involved fathers in this stories).
6. Unnecessary drama revolving around a past fling is vital. Otherwise, don't even bother.
7. Cliff-hanger happily ever after (with potential past love interest/baby daddy coming on the scene).
