It’s no surprise that there’s a significant trend for vampire romance novels today. Romance fiction has always been popular throughout history, with famous love stories from Shakespeare to Emily Bronte and Jacqueline Susann. Women of all ages turn to romance novels to fulfill parts of their lives that may not exist in their own realities. Romance novels provide a new perspective on love and life, set in contemporary or historical settings. Today, the trend has turned to fantasy romance novels, with vampire books like Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.

Vampire romance novels offer an alternative view of the romantic world. They provide the love interest desired in the stories while also offering a unique world that does not exist in everyday life. Vampire romance novels allow readers to go beyond normal life into a fantasy that cannot possibly exist, where the hero (or heroine) as the love interest surpasses ordinary humans. It’s a safer way for readers to experience romance without comparing their real lives to the story, allowing for a more in-depth romantic experience.

These new romance novels based on a fantasy world provide readers with an even greater escape. The world of vampires introduces superheroes made of dreams. Take the main character in vampire novels like Twilight (Edward). He is inhumanly attractive with extraordinary powers. His love for Bella transcends anything a regular human can imagine. Any woman reading Bella and Edward’s love story is captivated and longs for that kind of deep connection for themselves. While such a relationship is impossible in reality, it’s wonderful to imagine.

That’s what vampire romance novels are perfect for. They nurture our dreams and fantasies, creating a place where ordinary people can escape to and yearn for. It’s easier to desire something that cannot possibly exist, so you aren’t disappointed when your fantasies don’t come true.

Vampire romance novels also offer an element of danger and excitement. What could be more thrilling and intriguing than the hero risking his life to protect the woman he loves? What could be more romantic than the hero saving the beautiful maiden and living happily ever after? It’s exhilarating to think of the hero or heroine risking their safety to be with a dangerous creature like a vampire because of love. Vampire novels create a stimulating new world where danger lurks, providing the excitement needed to craft excellent modern romance novels.

From early on in novels like Bram Stoker’s Dracula, people have been fascinated by vampires. In today’s modern romance novels, it seems natural to include vampires as the good guys—the love interests for weaker, helpless humans. When an ordinary human is involved with a vampire, it elevates them to a fantastical, dream-like level that cannot be achieved in real life.

Vampire romance novels fill a niche in the romance book market that has been left wide open. People of all ages love fantasy romance novels, and vampire novels are a trend that won’t soon be forgotten.
