Recs if you like Daring and the Duke...

Unsullied. Undefiled. Uninitiated. Untouched. Chaste. Pure. While the tired trope of virginal and inexperienced women abounds, particularly in historical romance but even in contemporary works, virginal men are much less common. With stories that can be refreshing and joyful, or not (lol), this list brings together heroes who’ve done little more than kiss. (Some of them haven’t even done that.) All romance sub-genres are included, except YA.

Love me like you duke, lo-lo-love me like you duke Touch me like you duke, to-to-touch me like you duke What are you waiting for?

These are books/series that have Dukes and Duchesses in the title. 😌 🏰🫖🤵🏻‍♂️

Book Attic

Never read a historical romance? Choose one of these! All the balls, the inheritances, the petticoats, the rakes, and the reputations. May or may not be the first book in a series (but if it's on this list, my recommendation would be to just go ahead and read it)! Amazing writers doing incredible work building truly beautiful love stories in a world and time different from ours. All sex on the page (steaminess levels vary), all HEA (of course).
