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 or not a story of this nature contains erotic elements, it has to engage each reader with the increasing mental and emotional attraction between hero and heroine. Stories that lack any trace of such passion or have poorly written descriptions of that pull between the characters, usually do not become popular.

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 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.

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, 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 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 generally associated with Texas, several stories are set in other parts of the United States. For example, some may be written with Colorado as the base, while others take place in areas like Montana. There may also be fans who like the novels which occur in Canada and allow them to enjoy that landscape.
