I wish I could believe it but I see a horrible trend in not just historical romance but in all romance genres. The authors coming on the scene just do not understand the English language and have let today's culture influence their writing. I bet they do not even think about certain words that we who grew up would have never used in our own writing 10 years ago. I don't want to call it dumb down but looks at 50 Shades or most of the indie authors who are selling like hot cakes right now. Simple is in and the problem is Simple does not work with the historical genre.
