Welcome Hoppers!

This week Leslie Hachtel asked, What is your favorite romance genre and why? I’ll get to mine in a second, but if you missed Leslie’s post, be sure to hop back and check her out. She’s awesome!

My favorite genre of romance is Regency Historical. Mind you, I love paranormal and contemporary. I adore a little action adventure too. But there as nothing as satisfying to me as sitting down with a book

and sinking into a time long ago where the rules were clear and the consequences dire.

I love the rules, I love when they get broken and I love the men. Oh there is nothing like a good rogue. When  man is so sure the last thing he wants is to marry and then he meets that one woman who changes everything. SIGH…

The pageantry! All those lovely dresses, waistcoats, lace, cravats and shiny boots. These people spent hours getting ready for a ball and then stayed out until dawn. They knew how to party! There are a lot of pitfalls to writing Regency, but I’ll give up a bit of modern slang for the sheer romance of it.

Keep on hopping. I’ll bet Jenna Da Sie has some lovely thoughts on the matter.
