I love that you ask questions at the end of your posts. Let me see what is my favorite type of historical romance? I guess fairytales as they are what I read most of right now.

Julia – Exactly. The only time I really pick up contemporary is if it’s a HQN sheik romance (they’re kinda historical right, lol??? At least it’s kinda fairytale-ish) or if it’s recommended.

Beth – Good point on historical romance vs historical fiction vs contemporary. I agree. I like the seriousness of HR vs Contemporary and I like that HR is lighter than HF. I have to have the HEA and romance.

I'm not big on the romance genre, but I am a fan of HF. What I like about historical romance is that they are sometimes a bit lighter than strict HF but also a bit more serious than contemporary romance. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else. And I totally agree with your points 1-3! .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Review: French Milk by Lucy Knisley =-.

‘Where the smallest touch was worth so much’ – exactly!

I’m an historical romance lover, through and through. For all the reasons you’ve described. The only time I read a contemporary is when one of my friends has written one. Then my normal disinterest evaporates.

Thanks LH! A perfect example of manners vs passion is P&P by Austen. Mr. Darcy anyone? Swoon.

Thank you so much for sharing love of historical romance. I love how you first found them hidden in your house. I can see the advantage to reading historical romances. You're right about the differences between today and long ago. Great guest post! .-= Literate Housewife´s last blog ..#199 ~ Nefertiti =-.
