I'm with you on this one, Maria. I'm currently reading James Ellroy's L.A. Quartet, which deals with policemen in 1940's and 1950's Los Angeles. If those characters didn't swear and use colorful language, they wouldn't be very believable as mid-20th century policemen.
I think you have to try out a new author and, if you find his/her language too much, you simply chalk that one up to experience and move on to someone new.
