Now, he’ll return to take on two threats. Most recently, Joe (along with his wife, Marybeth, and best friend, Nate Romanowski) was seen earlier this year in Storm Watch.

That said, there's a reason "chick flick" movies and romance novels sell so well - we enjoy a little bit of the cheesy moments and predictability. But by leaning into the romance trope cliches, Henry is able to sidestep a lot of the cheesy romance novel moments that normally make me roll my eyes. There are still several stereotypes in the story that make it kind of predictable (high-strung NYC corporate woman who is apprehensive about the adorable small town will probably see the charm and maybe fall for a patient, hunky local).

Part of me thought of romance novels as just erotica or the mass-produced books you grab from the grocery store on the way to the DMV. I used to avoid the romance genre entirely, opting instead for heart-racing thrillers or gut-punching literary fiction. ![]()
