Realistic Rural Romance

I sometimes listen to Rural Romance (RuRo) novels on audiobook and enjoy them tremendously.

You might assume that I relate to these books because I grew up in the country, however, I experienced no romance at all while living rurally.

Because of this, I have created a new genre called Realistic Rural Romance (ReRuRo). It will not be popular, but that’s never stopped me before. Here are some ideas.

(The answer to all the rhetorical questions is ‘no’.)
