Yes, of course because they want an escape from their real lives. But why do they want this escape?
a) In romance novels, the heroine is always appreciated by the hero, by the middle or end of the book if not right in the beginning, with the promise that he will do so for the rest of their lives. No matter how much or how little she actually does, he always thinks she does a huge lot and is always impressed.
b) The heroine has help- she is not juggling the work of teacher, nanny, cook, laundrywoman and housekeeper in addition to her day job. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all afford that kind of help?
c) Heroine (or hero)'s hard work always pays.
d) Good sex. How nice to be able to imagine a world where there is always a turn-on and always an orgasm!
e) Refer to (b) again. And again. And again.
f) Oh, and heroine (almost always) has great clothes.
