Or romance that men will read off their wives'/girlfriends' shelves... Is there a market for them? Are there any men who write romance using their real names (and not a female pen name)? Would you buy a romance written by a man? What do you think a "men's romance" entails?
I know there are mainstream "romance" or stories that have strong romantic themes written by men -- Nick Horby, Nicholas Sparks, Nicholas Evans, Arthur Golden (Memoirs of a Geisha), Charles Frazier, etc. Do men have to go the "mainstream" route or is there a stigma for men to write "romance"?
Just wondering.
