True Love Books Being Valid Literary Contributions

By Della Monroe


When people contemplate romance novels, they often judge these works of literature as shallow and not very interesting. They believe that the stories center around one common theme and that the endings are all the same. However, true love books can be complicated and well-written works of literature that center on several themes that revolve around one or two main characters. People who are fans of this literary genre understand that these novels are just as interesting as any non-fiction book or a literary staple taught in the classroom.

To be considered a romance novel, there has to be an element of romanticism in the novel, however. Most often this element comes from two lovers overcoming remarkable odds to forge a relationship with each other. Sometimes the star-crossed lovers get married. Other times, they part ways with the promise of reuniting again in the future. Nonetheless, this basic element is found in all novels written for this genre.

Despite the inevitable ending, however, these works still feature ideas that give the novels validity and intrigue. For example, many authors of this genre like to set their stories in medieval times. They include details about how the main female character struggles against her male counterpart to gain his respect and trust. The theme touches on women's rights in that time.

Similarly, other creators set their tales in the Wild West days and give their works validity by including historic details about people who actually existed in that time and location. This historic accuracy hooks readers into the story and also makes the novel more believable. It likewise takes away in a meaningful fashion the central tone of romance and sexual chemistry between the two main characters.

Some people may wonder why authors of these tales bother to include these ideas into their works rather than just focusing on the romantic aspect. Authors generally say that they want to give their characters dimension and make them more memorable to readers. Adding other themes to the story helps achieve that goal.

When readers pick up a novel and read it for pleasure, that fact alone could give critics the heads-up that the works of literature are on par with others taught in high school and college classrooms. Like those major works, the romance novels of today try to get away from the overwhelming romance theme and instead offer several ideas for readers to consider. This effort helps garner a wider base of fans.

As such, it may come as no surprise to writers that their fan bases are growing and now include an eclectic mix of readers. Along with housewives and stay-at-home moms who have always been the traditional fan base, readers now include college professors and working professionals. College students are also known to read these books.

A true love book may seem forgettable at first glance to some critics. However, when they consider facts like the inclusion of various themes and historical notations, they might view these creations in a new light. When they do, they likewise may join a growing base of fans that have come to appreciate these books as something to read for pleasure.
