• Author Highlight: Helen Dickinson

  Now we’re throwing it back to the. . . well, before the 20th century again. Dickinson has a fondness for three vastly different eras: The Georgian (named after King George, yes the King George from Hamilton and 1776, the one the US broke away from); the English Civil War, and Victorian. So let’s get to…

• Author Highlight: Lauri Robinson

  Harlequin, and the historical romance genre in general may be known for its Regency balls and Western shoot-outs, but Lauri Robinson may be the only introducing exciting new eras that make for interesting twists to classic historical romance tropes. From early America to the sock-hops, Lauri Robinson has something almost for every era. Saving Marina…

• Author Highlight: Jenni Fletcher

  Still on the Harlequin train, and progressing past the ancient world to the 1200s or 1600s, admittedly my history in this era is a bit dim. But I’m pretty sure this is the 1600s because King Henry is mentioned here. Yeah, that King Henry with his six wives.

• Author Highlight: Greta Gilbert

  In all my historical romances, I haven’t really sat down and read those from the brand that epitomizes the romance genre. Harlequin romance. While it has the expected glut of regency rakes and highlanders in its catalogue, I was surprised to find out that they have a diverse range of historical periods. Moreso than the…

  I know, I know, I said earlier this year I’d cut back on the reading. I didn’t reach a thousand, but I clearly didn’t stick to my goal. I blame the economy for not giving me a job to fill my time. Currently stands at 839 Any who, reading is better than drugs and I…

• Ranking Medicine Men

  I was determined this year to find one indigenous historical romance written by an indigenous author from this century, and I found one. One! It’s a shame that it was less than stellar. It may be due to self-publishing so Kay didn’t have multiple eyes looking through the final product, and she’s relying on tropes…
