What? WTH. No no no no. I also read Broken Wing by her and loved it too. I was going to savor the few other HR by her slowly. I hate to hear this

This always makes me sad. Historical romances are my favorite romances and I am always sad when the writers jump to like contempo or romantic suspense since I always struggle to like many of them. I especially don't have a lot of luck with contempos.
I hate it that historicals aren't as popular anymore and its all CR, PNR and new adult now. And serials. If nobody wants to write well written HR anymore than I'll have to keep reading back lists I guess. It still makes me sad as there are less awards, less polls etc for HR.

I also notice that indy romance authors tend not to write historical romances, its mostly contempo/NA and such and often they are shorter. And shorter of course doesn't do for historicals.

Sometimes I feel so left out in romanclandia when talking about new released stuff. I seem to be going backwards with back list titles. Not sure if I am liking the changes in the genre.

Sigh, sorry, gone off on a rant.
