Women might read it (just as some men read regular romance novels), but the focus would be on the male audience. You never know, it might work. :D If I ever write one, I'll make sure you get a copy. :DAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02115544398840204484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7868855959904598491.post-29735412225477974832012-04-21T21:31:19.123-05:002012-04-21T21:31:19.123-05:00Yes.

A variation on that would be the one where the "smokin' hottie" pursues him, but he doesn't believe it because she is so out of his league.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02115544398840204484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7868855959904598491.post-3491099893458977452012-04-21T21:30:31.409-05:002012-04-21T21:30:31.409-05:00Yeah, I think it could be easily modified to a mal...Yeah, I think it could be easily modified to a male audience considering a lot of men read them anyway.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02115544398840204484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7868855959904598491.post-53293692452291033492012-04-21T11:30:18.966-05:002012-04-21T11:30:18.966-05:00I love this post and would definitely read your ma...I love this post and would definitely read your male-oriented romance novel! :) Would this type of story still be marketed primarily at women or at men as well? By adding an action or adventure element, I could see it appealing to male readers. I think it works well for human underdogs/secret superheroes: Clark Kent, Peter Parker, etc. who are powerful and very capable in one way, but also have to overcome many obstacles (especially in the romance department).Ada Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10452366264560339870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7868855959904598491.post-17792401859550159742012-04-21T10:40:29.959-05:002012-04-21T10:40:29.959-05:00The classic "let's be friends" and t...The classic "let's be friends" and the chick just doesn't see what's good for her until it's too later. Can be said for the reverse too! Always the friend, never the lover. Always the bride, never the bridesmade. <br /><br />We all crave acceptance. We all crave love...to be loved unconditionally and deeply! That is true romance!Jamie Dement (LadyJai)http://writebackwards.we3dements.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7868855959904598491.post-49968879269111611202012-04-21T10:05:37.086-05:002012-04-21T10:05:37.086-05:00Very entertaining post, Andrew.

The conventions are tried and true because they work, I suppose. <br /><br />I definitely don't consider myself a standard romance writer, or reader for that matter. I appreciate characters I can connect with and plots that turn the conventions on their ear. <br /><br />I've been honestly (and pleasantly) surprised by the male response to my two published shorts, though. Hope that means I'm doing something right on my end. :DCara Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956521710750982258noreply@blogger.com
