Western Romance Stories – Looking For Love And Romance

Western romance involves a lot more than endless sunshine and bliss! There are many hardships and challenges as well as romantic attractions which range from the gentle and sensitive to unusual kinds of loving that are decidedly erotic. Here are some of the best – meaning most popular – books available in this genre. They’ve been selected from the bestselling lists of the world’s largest bookstore.

The authors frequently have many titles in this field, so the list has been compiled to represent a range of notable writers, as well as some of their most popular western romances which, together, have sold in their millions.

1. Branded As Trouble – Lorelei James
2. Texas! Sage – Sandra Brown
3. High Country Bride – Linda Lael Miller
4. The Husband Tree – Mary Connealy
5. Early Dawn – Catherine Anderson
6. Sarah’s Quilt – Nancy E. Turner
7. Heart Of Texas: Nell’s Cowboy and Lone Star Baby – Debbie Macomber
8. Dakota Heat: Her Dakota Men and Dakota Ranch Crude – Leah Brooke
9. Tied Up, Tied Down – Lorelei James
10. Christy – Catherine Marshall

Lest you think that western romance books occupy an area of little interest, one that is read only by lonely homesteaders, Debbie Macomber alone has sold more than 140 million copies of her books and ‘Christy’, by Catherine Marshall, was regarded highly enough to be produced as a TV series, which is now available on DVD.  

Unsurprisingly, these authors all have their own individual styles and their treatments of the romantic aspects also vary from the gentle, suggestive and suspenseful to the openly erotic.

The problems and conflicts are those which women, especially, can identify with and may at times include social issues, such as alcohol, but will inevitably be concerned with personal attraction between the leading characters and the problems of trying to bridge the difficulties which prevent a lasting relationship. The heroines face jealousy, abduction, differences in social status, drought, attraction to several men at the same time, and more. Life in the Old West, through the eyes of these writers, was never dull!  

A woman in modern western romance novels is usually strong and enduring, capable of surviving despite many hardships. She may be well educated, as with Sage in ‘Texas! Sage’, have her own business or ranch, be single or widowed with children. The situations she will face are many and varied. However, even if disadvantaged, she is never weak.

Despite the challenging demands of the situations which confront these women in western romance, they are capable of caring, sensitivity and loving deeply, often with great passion.
