Roberts' target audience, which is basically the audience of romance novels in general, demands a heroine that finds love in the way that Shannon does. That is, the heroine cannot be desperately and selfishly seeking love. Such a pursuit would take much of the heroism out of the character, making her more pathetic than admirable. The heroine must be doing something other than looking for a lover. Here, it was a more universal need, the need for family, that guided Shannon to meet the love of her life. It is Robert's skill as a novelist that allows her to seamlessly connect the more universal need for family and the more female-specific need for a partner which is indicative of romance novels. Thus, Roberts should be considered a novelist first and a romance novelist second.
