Why People Enjoy Contemporary Cowboy Romance Novels

By Beryl Dalton


People all over the globe enjoy the steady unfolding of a fairly good story. While there is sometimes tension between the characters, this adds to the drama and excitement that exists in the story and in most cases, will take it from fairly good to memorable. Bibliophiles enjoy guessing what the outcome of the conflict will be, if any exists between the protagonists. Contemporary cowboy romance novels deliver all of that, keeping readers guessing until the final pages.

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 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.

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 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.
