Are there any famous Tarzan - like romance novels?

I'm not aware of any widely known 'gay tarzan stories' in mainstream literature or media. However, in some niche or fan - created works, there might be such stories.

Definitely. 'Tarzan's Heart' is a great example. It delves deep into the relationship between Tarzan and the female character. The story is set against the backdrop of the wild jungle, and the contrast between Tarzan's wild nature and the civilized woman makes for a very engaging romance.

There are also graphic novel versions that can be considered modern interpretations. They often use more vivid art to depict the relationship between Tarzan and his romantic partner. The visual aspect can enhance the romantic elements and bring a new feel to the traditional Tarzan romance stories.

Another popular Tarzan novel is 'The Return of Tarzan'. In this book, Tarzan returns to civilization after his adventures in the jungle. It shows his struggle to adapt to the new environment while still having his wild side.

One characteristic could be the element of a strong, wild male lead like Tarzan. In these novels, the male character is often physically powerful and has a primal charm. Another aspect is the setting, which might be in an exotic or jungle - like environment. There could also be a damsel - in - distress - type female lead who is initially afraid of the wild male but gradually falls in love with him as she discovers his kind heart beneath his rough exterior.

If you're new to Tarzan - like novels, start with 'Tarzan of the Apes'. It's the classic that started it all. You'll quickly get immersed in the world of Tarzan, his relationship with the animals, and his unique story of growing up in the jungle.

Another great option is 'King Solomon's Mines' by H. Rider Haggard. It has elements of adventure in an untamed wilderness. The main characters go on a dangerous journey through Africa, facing wild animals and hostile tribes, similar to the kind of challenges Tarzan often encounters in his jungle home.

Love and adventure are major themes. Tarzan's love for Jane, for example, drives much of the plot in many of the novels. Their relationship is often tested by the wild and dangerous situations they find themselves in.

There is also 'Tarzan the Untamed'. In this novel, the relationship between Tarzan and the female characters adds a touch of romance to the overall wild and adventurous story. Tarzan's strength and his connection with the female lead are interesting aspects of the romantic elements.
