Did you ever try Robin D Owens' Celta Tales series? They're a cross between a historical romance (in the culture) and fantasy (the world has magic/psy powers)...although the basic premise is that the people on Celta arrived on a spaceship 400 (Celtan) years earlier. It was originally listed as science-fiction romance, but the only science fiction in it is either in the past or the fact that one of the space ships remains in a park in the Celtan city of Druida.
These books are definitely romances first, and magic/fantasy/sci-fi second. I don't think they have the same richness as the Patricia Briggs or Nalini Singh books, but for whatever reason, they hooked me. I look forward to new releases every year.
