Recs if you like Kit McBride Gets a Wife (The McBrides of Montana, #1)...

from swooning over prolonged eye contact at a ball with the ton, to intense yearning between two really good friends in 1960s New York, here are some historical romances to get you hooked on the best subgenre

Some people like their male leads to be alpha chads. I'm not one of them. I like them soft. I like them anxious. I like them doing traditionally female jobs and roles and hobbies.

Mostly romance because that's what I read but other genres present.

Usually just adding the first volume in the series unless they are stand-alones or have distinctly different focus/MCs (most romance series).

Small town cowboys and the ones who love them.

Historical Romance published in paperback, regular-sized, not mass market, for those who prefer larger pages
