Hello everyone! My friends @PeaceLoveBooksxo @LaceyBooklovers and I are hosting the historical romance readathon running from Jan 15th to Jan 21, 2021 …
The Pursuit of sounds so good. I need to dive into the indie historical game I have so many faves from other genres that are indie, I know there's some goodies out there.
After hearing about a certain author's opinion on diverse characters and HEA's I was a little bummed out because I had a few of their titles on my TBR for this readathon. Since then I have been getting into Beverly Jenkins (who has been writing diverse romance since '94) Alyssa Cole, Jeannie Lin, and K.J. Charles just to name a few. Thank you for these suggestions I'm excited about reading along!
Ohh I also have a Stacy Reid on my HRReadathon tor!! Also not sure if you’ve read Sherry Thomas or Jeannie Lin, but they write some of my favorite historical romances (Sherry has the most ~gorgeous~ prose, and Jeannie’s book Butterfly Swords was one of my favorite books I read last year 🙂
Great recommendations! Willful Depravity was quite a fun read. The description makes it sound s3xy beyond the usual romance novel, but there isn't much out of the ordinary, save a few bits. I loved having a truly plus sized heroine though! I thought the characters were well written and I enjoyed the plot. Hope we could see more body positivity/plus size representation in historical romances someday down the line. Thanks so much for sharing! 💙 I have a personally important question for you. What are your thoughts on the lack of male romance Booktubers?

Her Wicked Marquess is SO good! I love both the hero and the heroine. It has good internal conflict and plot.
