I want to read of a hot mess 30 to 50 year old that finds love with a Mechanic/Plummer...Someone in a trade NOT a billionaire #AskAvonbksI love love love blue-collar heroes! A man who works with his hands is always sexy. ;) #askavonbks

@ElleKeck Same. To me, the best recent example of this is of course The Hating Game by Sally Thorne, which I devoured. #AskAvonBksYes yes yes! The Hating Game by @Sally__Thorne is a FANTASTIC enemies-to-lovers story. <3 this book so hard. #AskAvonBks

@nicolefischer13 I am a SUCKER for secret babies #AskAvonBksIn real life I'd probably be like, "A Baby?? What do I do with this thing?! It's ALIVE!" but in romance... ovaries exploding. #askavonbks

Mommy Ives @MommyIves
@nicolefischer13 I also love a good bad boy series! @JayCrownover's Saints of Denver series is oh so good! #AskAvonbksDitto! But Rule is my #1 foreverrrrrr!!!!!!! #AskAvonBks
Editor
I'm a big fan of roommates-to-lovers stories. Nothing builds sexual tension like a hot roomie in a towel after a shower! hehe #askavonbks

@nicolefischer13 I love them, too! And I'm kind of a sucker for an accidental pregnancy. I think it's the books I read in the early '90's as a youth.OMG exactly!!! So many of my early days romances had secret babies/accidental pregnancies in them. Guess it just stuck with me! #askavonbks

Mommy Ives @MommyIves
@nicolefischer13 I know they are totally unrealistic, but I can't resist a good billionaire story, but sports romance are my #1 fav. #AskAvonBksI'm a little burned out on billionaires but give me a naughty sports star ANY DAY! #askavonbks
Editor
I get a lot of grief for this one, but I love secret babies!!! I don't know why... Living vicariously through fiction, I guess. #AskAvonBks

@avonbooks Or do you recommend just fine tuning one pitch that knocks it out of the park? #askavonbks.@Laforesta1 A rock solid pitch is always the goal! But specific tropes/things grab ME every time, so knowing that is a plus! #askavonbks

.@michellehazen This is so personal to each story. It really depends on the pacing, your plot, etc. I like a lot of both in RS! #AskAvonBks.@TessaofAvonlea @michellehazen Agree! I like everything from very romance-focused to thrillers with a hint of sexy times. ;) #AskAvonbks
Editor
Tell me about the main characters & conflict in one fell swoop. I don鈥檛 need minor details in a #pitch. I鈥檒l ask if I鈥檓 curious! #AskAvonBks
Editor
.@RebeccaJenshak Cute! But try to streamline details & get to the meat of the story first. Town name/local isn't crucial. #AskAvonBks

What opening are you sick of seeing? #askavonbks.@charlotteclg I can't say I'm sick of seeing any specific opening... but I do love when a book opens with fun dialogue! #AskAvonBks
