I could do that!

I finished a "romance novel" last night. I needed some escape from my usual predictable life, so I read the novel in haste. It was a nineteenth century English countryside setting. As I read it I realized that hey, I could write one of these novels! There's nothing really to it. I figured out some things; there needs to be a number of ingredients for this recipe called "the juicy novel". Here's what I think they are:
1. There has to be a tall, dark and handsome main character, male, of course.
2. There has to be a beautiful and curvy main female character.
3. Virginity plays a major role in the plot.
4. Losing one's virginity is another major factor in the plot.
5. Tension between the main characters has to exist; be it sexual or otherwise.
6. Conflict between classes has to be in the mix.
7. It has to be in the countryside of some land; or at least in an exciting atmosphere.
8. There are flawed but sympathetic secondary characters
9. There will be drinking
10. There will be explicit content.

So, there is my formula. Perhaps I can write one and make boatloads of money on the royalties???? One can dream, can't one? HAHAHA!
