Historical romance is set before World War II.[2] Many historical romances include contemporary attitudes, such as heroines with far more education than was the norm in their time period.[3]
This subgenre includes a wide variety of other subgenres, including Regency romance.
The following subgenres are commonly seen within historical romance.
Viking
These books feature Vikings during the Dark Ages or Middle Ages.[4] Heroes in Viking romances are typical alpha males who are tamed by their heroines. Most heroes are described as "tall, blonde, and strikingly handsome."[5] Using the Viking culture allows novels set in these time periods to include some travel, as the Vikings were "adventurers, founding and conquering colonies all over the globe."[5] In a 1997 poll of over 200 readers of Viking romances, Johanna Lindsey's Fires of Winter was considered the best of the subgenre. The subgenre has fallen out of style, and few novels in this vein have been published since the mid-1990s.[5]

Like Fire and Powder (Violent Delights Book 18)
The War of the Roses has ended. After a thirty year power struggle, House Tudor reigns victorious, and Henry VII has crowned himself King of England by right of conquest. This is a final, very bloody revenge for the deaths of his Lancaster cousins during the War of the Roses. Now, Henry has to win the hearts of the people of England, and more importantly that of his future wife, Elizabeth of York, who is the niece of the king Henry just deposed and murdered. Henry has always been much better with numbers and account books than he has charm, much less charming women. And Elizabeth has no intention of being charmed. Both, however, know that the union is in the best interest of the people of England. Enemies to Lovers has never been quite this dramatic. Inspired by the true story of one of the most successful marriages in English history. In all technicality this comes before Son of Prophesy, but that actually explains the War of the Roses whereas this does not go through the whole thing. Trigger/ Content Warning: Bloody violence, survivor's guilt, and sexual assault are all discussed on page. A couple of characters have traumatic flashbacks to past violence. Some suggestive conversations and mildly sexual content. Some brief profanity.Concluida

The fire to his frost, her wrath burned just as fiercely, a force that could either ignite the heavens or bring them both to ruin.

But could Hvitserk's light be enough for Hilda to escape the shadow of the one who claimed her soul? In a world carved by swords and soaked in blood, their love was no salvation-it was a weapon. Sharp, devastating, and bound to leave scars that would never fade. But who will she choose, Hvitserk? the wise and caring boy how longed for her touch or Ivar?The one whos storms merged with hers?
