The aspect of romance gets a totally new meaning when it comes to Boon romance novels which are known for the age old circulation of easy romance, for the traditional feel they have provided to the rest of the world. Boon novels have catered to the needs of the readers for decades down the line. Mydearvalentine offers detailed account on Boon romance novels coming under the segment of romance novels. The Boon romance novels are published by the famous publishing house, Harlequin Mills and Boon Limited, better known as, Mills and Boon publishing house. The house enjoys a huge portion of the British romance market share, which amount to 75% approximately.
The Mills and Boon Novels are highly branded and generally they bear a separate identity in the bookstores and libraries. Mills and Boon Novels can’t be signified or classified as classic or serious romances as they mostly cater to one section of the society, or to be precise, to one particular age group. Thus, they don’t find much recognition in the market for serious romances and classic novels. As these novels generally introduce the traditional and conventional views of love and romance, they cater well to the demands of housewives for whom it’s a sure afternoon treat. The women in the novels are deliberately sketched to have weaker character in the story and they invariably need a man to fix their problems. The gallant hero, who is also the male protagonist having a robust build and a chivalrous nature, is always there to help the damsel in distress and lead her in the safety of his arms. Another aspect of the Boon romance novels is their stereotyped picture of rich and engrossed husbands, with moaning wives aspiring to have kids. In these novels, plot develops with a wrecked marriage tending to fall apart even as the perpetually torn apart couple tries to mend their relationship.
Few of the most widely read Boon romance novels are The Businessman’s Bride by Jackie Braun, Meant to be a Mother by Ally Blake, Outback Man Seeks Wife by Margaret Way, The Nanny and the Sheikh by Barbara McMahon, Falling For the Frenchman by Claire Baxter and In Her Boss’s Arms by Elizabeth Harbison. In The Businessman’s Bride, Anne Lundy, the art photographer finds herself in close contact with a hardcore businessman, Richard Danton. Richard, to the surprise of Anne, accompanied her to her sojourn of finding out her birth mother who is Japanese by descent.
Moreover, he seemed to take subtle interests in her. In the other story, Meant to be a Mother, James Dillon, a highly dedicated single father to his son, finds himself falling in love with the sophisticated woman, Siena Capuletti. Siena was initially a stranger to the family. But as they came closer both James and Siena developed feelings for each other and Siena is now torn apart between her career ambitions and her feelings for James and his son. She can either be a professional or a wife or a mother.
In the story, Outback Man Seeks Wife, the lead protagonists Caroline McNevin and Clay are two different characters with diverse interests and distinct personalities. If Caroline is innocent and vulnerable, Clay is lofty and tough from within. Despite being poles apart, something in Caroline appeals to Clay and he wants to marry her. However, he has to first rescue her from the shadows of her past. Similarly in the novel, The Nanny and the Sheikh, Melissa Fox, the gorgeous lady, has to stay as the nanny to the kids of the Sheikh in the kingdom of Qu’Arim as the family needs her. She finds herself falling in love with the dashing Sheikh whom she could only dream of. The novel Falling for the Frenchman offers a warm and soulful romance between Beth and Pierre Laroche, her long lost love. This story, while providing a hue of vengeance is, however, over shadowed by the soft feeling of love. Regarding the story of ‘In Her Boss’s Arm’, Laurel Midland, who joins as the nanny to the only daughter of the extremely single father, Charles, finds herself almost on the verge of getting fired and simultaneously falls in love with him. In all these Boon romance novels one common aspect is the factor of initial hatred or repulsion which later gets transcended to love as the characters realize the strong chemistry among themselves.
