I'm not such a history buff, so minor inaccuracies aren't that important to me, may not even be noticed - I just want to enjoy a great romance story that engages me. Some of my favorites - Lord of Scoundrels, The Spymaster's Lady, As You Desire by Connie Brockway, Dreaming of You by LIsa Kleypas, Winter Garden by Adele Ashworth.

A historically inaccurate premise, based on the female being more/stronger than she should have been for the time? Bring it on. Use a word that wasn't in existance yet or didn't have that meaning yet? I'll put the book down forevah! I'm with ya on the Lord of Scoundrels and everyone else with the Jude Deveraux. (Oh, how I miss her historicals.) Plus I lurve me some Julia Quinn. I’m a bit strange.

I love Lisa Kleypas and Christina Dodd for instance - both have strong voices but I never feel like I'm drowning in details I just don't want to know when I read them.

I tend to favor paranormal and urban fantasy, but will read historical romance if it is recommended by a friend. I admit that I've read a lot of people really really love Loretta Chase's <i>Lord of Scoundrels</i>, so I will eventually read that one. History was most likely my least favorite subject in high school, so I'm definitely lenient on the accuracy thing. LOL Mostly because I wouldn't know otherwise! LOL OKay that's a pretty lame answer. But sadly true. :roll: I read <i>The Spymaster's Lady</i> by Joanna Bourne earlier this year and loved it. The sequel, <i>My Lord and Spymaster</i> comes out soon and I'm looking forward to that.

I enjoy those by Lisa Kleypas, Christina Dodd - I've read a few by Jude Devereaux (sp for me too!) - and... a few by Julia London. Oh - and all those Amanda Quick books too. Historical accuracy... I feel like if it's obvious, then the book should have it right [order of monarchs, years for wars, etc.] Or like- no fax machines in regency England. (Obviously not *that* bad - but... otherwise, I feel like I'm pretty lenient.) I love historicals!
