Monday afternoon I picked up the October Romantic Times determined to do my best to avoid Regency romances (re: Wendy's last RTB blog.) Half of the historical reviews are for Regencies. If we want a more diverse selection in historical romance, we need to start buying romances set in different periods.
I picked out 9 historicals:
- It Happened One Autumn--Lisa Kleypas (Victorian)
- Temptress--Lisa Jackson (Medieval)
- One Knight Stand--Jocelyn Kelley (Medieval)
- The Trapper--Jenna Kernan (Western)
- Come Home for Christmas--Pat Prichard (Western)
- Kissing in the Dark--Wendy Lindstrom (1870's NYS)
- One Little Sin--Liz Carlyle (Regency)
- To Hot To Handle--Cheryl Holt (Regency)
- A Singular Lady--Megan Frampton (Trad. Regency)
All things considered not bad, only 3 Regencies--Liz Carlyle is an autobuy, I've already picked up the Holt (started it today, I'll blog about it tomorrow) and of course I have to get Megan's first book.
I'm also interested in:
- Bride Needs Groom--Wendy Markham (Contemporary)
- Wedding Survivor--Julia London (Contemporary)
- A Will to Love--Angie Daniels (Contemporary)
- Through a Crimson Veil--Patti O'Shea (New Reality-paranormal)
- Private Demons--Lynn Viehl (Paranormal)
- Courting Midnight--Emma Holly (Historical paranormal)
- A Capital Affair--Angela Winters (Romantic suspense)
I'll probably order most of these through my local UBS, they sell new books with a 10% discount. It's good to spread the wealth around--LOL.
Have a great night, and happy reading.
OMG, "recover post" really works, blogger dumped me out as I was posting this and it completely disappeared.

Hey, thanks! I agree, I'm sick of the Regency, too, but mostly because a lot of people use it as wallpaper, and dilute its flavor so it's, um, flavorless. I can't wait to read the Liz Carlyle. I love her.
