AOC are nearly non-existent in historicals. I can see why people are surprised after reading Beverly's books.
I don't read many comtempories that aren't romantic suspense or the hero isn't in LE of some kind. Contemporary romance without suspense or a bad boy such as rock star, MMA fighter, military bores me tears. There are a few exceptions but they are rare. In historical romance I like regency or medevial although I have recently discovered May McGodrick and are enjoying them. I'm not really into Scottish highland romance.
My first love will always be paranormals. I love my vampires, shifters and urban fantasy.
I'm trying to expand my reading choices but I'm just so picky. Top authors for me are Nalini Singh, Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn, Tiffany Snow, Chloe Neill, Connie Brockway, Mary Balogh. I like wordsmiths. Strong writers who use their words to paint a story with a strong storyline and good characterization.
I can't get into Tessa Dare I've tried. Grace Burrowes I tried as well. Christi Caldwell as well. There are too many comtempories I have DNF to list.
I got worn out of westerns years ago. Anything cowboy I usually pass by. I may read once in a blue moon which is why it will take me a long time to read through Beverly Jenkins backlist. I really have to be in the mood for a western. She has two modern suspense titles I may have to try those first.
