Unlike classic literature, these books move fast. Chapters end on cliffhangers—a secret leaked to the press, a betrayal at a party, or a mistaken identity at a photo shoot.

The character sketches in these books are tall, dark, handsome, and fiercely independent. The heroes are often the "Alpha male"—a trope popular across global romance literature. He might be a brooding industrialist with a tragic past or a ruthless feudal lord with a heart of gold hidden beneath a steely exterior. The heroines, conversely, are often portrayed as "bold and beautiful." In the 1970s and 80s, this was a revolutionary archetype. These were women who worked, who drove cars, who wore western clothing, and who challenged patriarchal norms, albeit usually within the bounds of eventual romantic submission.
