Recs if you like Ne'er Duke Well...

A curated collection of mostly Regency romances where propriety is optional and virtue… negotiable. Expect rakish dukes, sharp-tongued heroines, scandalous encounters, and at least a few decisions that would make any proper chaperone faint...

I am an avid reader of the historical romance, more than a hundred just this year. But these?

These are that goooooood shit.

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. 😌 🏰🫖🤵🏻‍♂️

A silly goofy little list of incredible historical romances for people who want to learn while also giggling and kicking their feet in the air.

Still refining the name, obviously. Going for M/F romance that feels non-heternormative. I want genuine emotional connection. A FMC who isn't just crabby and emotionally unavailable or "not like other girls". A MMC who is a soul-reviving study in non-toxic masculinity but also a fully formed complex human, not someone who lives only to ‘worship’ the FMC. And a HEA that isn't doubling down on gender stereotypes. Also looking for characters who live in bodies with normal human softness, not six packs. Authenticity or bust! Recommendations welcome!

• they bathe together scenes

Historical romances with modern storylines. Heroines who are smart, talented, and driven. A happy ever after means being able to continue her work; maybe he’ll even join her cause...

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

Sometimes there’s a kid and well someone needs to take care of it so I guess that’s us.

Sometimes it's strangers or someone raising a sibling. Sometimes it's a step parent stepping the fuck up. Sometimes it’s historical and someone actually claims their bastard. Really anything other than surprise pregnancy. Thats a different list.

Stories about love and family and responsibility that is chosen. Parents aren't always genetic, you know?

I have read and enjoyed all of these books.

Cozy fiction reads perfect for curling up on the couch with a fuzzy blanket & a warm cup of tea. All fiction genres, not just fantasy.
