There were a lot of Outback books particularly by Lucy Walker (don't remember if they were Harlequin or not). Loved those too. And most Harlequins seemed to take place in exotic places. Some guy living on a boat in the Caribbean etc. Kind of fun to see how they are today. The sex has increased expeditiously, that's for sure. Kind of wish it hadn't. Oh well, can always do what my 90 year old mother used to do, page forward through what she called "the repeats".
Any other recommendations always welcome.

Modern Westerns are a hot theme for books today! HQ did a poll last year on what type of hero you like most out of all of the choices Cowboy won.
What I find interesting while Modern Westerns are hot you might be able to find a historical western here and there. In the 90s they were more popular but now only handful come out each year. historical westerns are my favorite. So I buy all those back title books being self published right away.
The love scenes seem to be the primary focus of the HQ books now Unfortunately. Most Blaze titles are near Erotica which is why I prefer Temptation titles instead. If you want more plot Intrigue line is really good on those. The Romantic suspense as well. The Nascar Titles have no sex in them at all. Not allowed or drinking or crashing their car. Of course Loved Inspired are very clean and chaste seeing they are inspirational. I buy them too because they focus on the plot than the physical reactions of the hero and heroine. As long as they aren't too preachy. Those go in the DNF pile.
I mostly read Silhouette Intimate Moments they seem to have just the right mix.
