This was so brilliant, thank you for writing it! The sheer wealth of amazing romance novels is truly a boon to us all, and here's hoping folks who read it talk about what they love and enjoy more and more openly.

In terms of historicals - if you haven't read any Joanna Shupe yet, I love her New York Gilded Age-set books very, very much. And for something a bit different, Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner self-published a fantastic series of novels set around the Space Program in the early 1960s - strong Mad Men vibes without the toxic masculinity!

I LOVE Joanna Shupe! And I will

Immediately check out Space Program Romance (wonderful sub genre idea), thank you so much!

Fantastic! My absolutely favorite one is Earth Bound (grumpy-grumpy, oodles of competence porn, at MMC who's the embodiment of it's-always-the-quiet-ones).
