I can't help it - he's divine

Article Abstract:

It is very common for romantic novelists to use a rural clergyman having an affair as their theme. This subject seems to attract particular interest, possibly because clergymen often seem different from ordinary people and very out of reach in romantic terms. Clergymen are often very attractive to women who feel vulnerable and lonely. Furthermore, clergymen often find a lot of depth and beauty in people, making these people feel special and cared for.
