Reasons For Reading 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.

Many people who are fans of this genre like to take a virtual trip to another place. They do that through the words which are written in these books. The vivid descriptions made available through the author capture their imagination. They can use their mind to picture rolling hills, beautiful meadows and high mountains against a gorgeous sky.

People who buy books in this niche also enjoy reading about how other people live. The Western lifestyle may be completely different from that which they experience daily. Instead of planting herbs, they learn of people who manage farms. Other people may vicariously experience life in another set of living conditions.

While contemporary romances, like older books with a similar geographical location, are expected to take place in the West, there is a major difference. The male and female characters undergo challenges that are more similar to those that he average reader nowadays faces. That makes it easier to relate to them.

In addition to what is expected, that is, romance in a Western setting, there are several sub genres as well. For example, some books have Christian themes. In fact, it is quite common to find both modern and historical books that have a religious theme in this area. Usually, bibliophiles can enjoy a story where both characters grow in character.

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.
