almost all porn are aimed at men, and occasionally, you hear people ask what are some good porn for women. I'll ask the converse. Are there good romance aimed at (straight) men? (I know there are m/m romance for gay men.) I'm not sure what that would be like exactly, but maybe something where the hero isn't a rich pirate with an underwear model's physique and porn star's endowment who kidnaps the heroine and rapes her nightly until she falls in love with him. (not that there's anything wrong with that  |
What you are describing is fairly representative as what is known as the "Boddice Rippers" which were huge in the 1970's/1980's. There are still books written like that, but it isn't as popular now as it used to be.
It's kind of hard to say what is written aimed at men, because men (just like women) like different things. If you wanted to talk action/adventure type they you might check out Romantic Suspense. Navy Seals went through a huge run over the past 5 or 6 years but it is dying down now. Special Forces type men and women take on terrorists or a rescue mission or something like that. The earliest Suzanne Brockmann Troubleshooters books get good reviews.
