Why People Read Contemporary Cowboy Romance Novels

By Beryl Dalton


People across the world will usually become fans of a good story that unfolds a steady pace. There is sometimes tension, excitement and drama that accompanies the situation that is described in a book and this adds to the enjoyment associated with reading it. Bibliophiles are often kept guessing until the climax in the last few pages due to conflict between the characters. Contemporary cowboy romance novels are good at delivering all of this.

In essence, whether this type of story possesses erotic elements or not, it must engage the reader with attraction between the hero and heroine. Stories that are written without a trace of any reason why the two characters would even look at one another do not usually get much of a readership. If you delve into one of these stories, you can expect to see attraction build on a mental and emotional level.

Nothing heats up a page like a sexy man. Prosperous authors realize this and they usually spend quite a bit of time crafting a hero who each reader will respond to well. Westerns are known for rugged stories and the men that are found in the pages of these books are expected to be built for the challenge of outdoor life. They are physically attractive and have the rugged determination to match any difficulties they face.

Most fans of the genre look forward to seeing good descriptions of the landscape as well. After all, a good story set in the West attracts readers who want the text to transport them to a different physical location. In a way, it is sort of like taking a trip through the eyes of the author. A well written book contains engaging imagery that fuels the imagination.

Descriptions of Western life engage readers as well. Some people who buy these books live in locations that are completely different from those they read about and the habits of people in their community are quite varied. They may ride motorbikes instead of horses and grow herbs instead of food for cattle. Jogging may be their favorite physical activity, yet they long to read of other outdoor activities.

Although contemporary romances are based in the West, heroines found within the pages struggle with the situations that modern women and men face. Problems faced by men and women nowadays, such as figuring out how to claim insurance after an accident, add conflict. This is why some fans gravitate towards the texts. It makes identifying with them easier than relating to a school teacher or grocer who worked and loved under different conditions.

Readers expect to see romance in a Western setting. They want boots, sexy jeans and cowboy boots. However, some also look for other things to make the story interesting. In matters of the heart, quite a few readers prefer to see their characters grow as people through the love they experience and their Christian faith.

While cowboys are usually associated with Texas, fans also look forward to enjoying stories set in other places. For example, Montana and Colorado are popular settings for cowboy themed love stories as well. People who like Canada and the natural beauty of that country will find romances that take place there also.
