Why People Enjoy 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.

There is nothing quite like reading a well written description about a sexy man. Authors who have done well in this area are good at putting together characteristics that readers respond to. Western stories are set against a backdrop of a difficult and rugged life. The men who are a major part of any story must be able to face their environment and overcome it. They are attractive and possess inner qualities like strength and determination.

Most people who are fans of the genre enjoy reading vivid descriptions of the landscape. This is one reason why they look for and buy books in this area. They like the virtual trip that they can take through words, seeing wide open meadows, bubbling creeks and noisy stables before them in their minds as they read.

Readers want to know what regular life is like outside of their own community. Reading about the Western lifestyle gives them a break from the routine of their own habits. It also allows them to vicariously experience things that they would not do on a regular basis. For example, they can imagine themselves riding horses instead of bikes.

While contemporary romances take place in the West, the heroines are sometimes struggling with issues that more modern women can easily relate to. This is why some fans may read them instead of historical novellas that are based in a similar context. They find it easier to understand the struggles of a modern woman or man in that environment.

In addition to the usual drama, tough leather boots and men in tight jeans that are expected in these stories, there are several elements that allow readers to separate them into other categories. For example, there are several that have Christian or other religious themes. In these, the characters grow in qualities like faithfulness even as they explore their love for each other.

While cowboys are typically associated with Texas and a pleasant accent, if that is what you like, there are stories that are set in other places in the United States. For example, it is not uncommon to find Montana or Colorado being used as settings in these stories. You will also find that there are several that appeal to fans who like a Canadian setting and feature cowboys from Canada.
