Some Americans love a Danish novel (8)

I believe the answer is:

idahoans

'some americans' is the definition.
(Idahoan is an example)

'love a danish novel' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'novel' indicates an anagram (letters in a new or novel order).
'o'+'a'+'danish'='oadanish'
'oadanish' with letters rearranged gives 'IDAHOANS'.

(Another definition for idahoans that I've seen is " American set".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
