Romance novels, as we know them today, have been popular among American women


since 1970 (Frenier, 1982). At that time, industry giant Harlequin began reprinting British


titles for an American audience. According to Forbes, more than 22 million romance fans


in the United States spent $750 million on the romance market in 1991. This figure


includes book sales, magazines, phone lines to talk to romance celebrities, computer


on-line services, and romance cruises where enthusiasts are pampered like the heroines in


their favorite novels. Estimates suggest the average romance reader spent $1,200 on books


in 1991 (Linden and Reese, 1992).


According to Wendy Staub (1992), an editor for Silhouette Books, a popular division


of Harlequin, all romance books must include an appealing hero and heroine, a romantic


conflict, and a happy ending, but beyond this, there are few requirements. Mann (1985)


agreed that there are certain criteria to determine whether a book is a romance; the focus


of the book must be on the relationship between the woman and the man, and most often


there is a situation or tension that must be overcome to allow the couple to declare their


love for each other by the predetermined page limit.
