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]

Convalescent
When war erupted across Europe in 1939, sixteen year old Katherine Montague had known what she wanted to do - what she had to do. Now, five years later and a trained nurse in the British army, she finds herself thrust into the thick of that same war. But as the fight for the Western Front rages on, Katherine discovers something amid the rubble of the death and destruction around her. Something that will plunge her into a completely new war - one she'd never intended to fight, but has no intention of losing. The war for William Hughes' heart. Love might be enough to win the battle, but will it be enough to win the war? If not, her own heart just might pay the price.
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 first three epics cover the era from B. C. 10 or so to just before the infamous 'Viking Ascendancy' of A.D. 650 to A.D.1200- a period avoided in these tales as already well covered. Then after that three books of the Families over 1300 to 1700 and on into the last three of the nine covering the pre and current contemporary periods up to our times. There may be a deeper 'prequel' coverage as well of Vikings in the Baltic and in the Mediterranean periods before the rise of Rome. This last part would bring the total of all in the series to twelve books. Around 150-350 pages each.Concluida

The exchange
Rosa Ramírez is a smart, responsible girl. She's fierce and strong and independent and... totally not in love with one of the biggest fuckboys of her school. Except William might not be what he seems, or what she makes him out to be. After all, aren't people much more than our expectations and recollections of them? So, yes, it might (definitely) end up hurting. Yes, it's a really (really) bad idea. But, fucking hell, it could be worth it while it lasts. Who will break the other's heart first?

You don't have to have seen SKAM to understand but it helps if you do. ****It technically is fan fic but it's really changed from the true plot of the story to the point where it's literally just ocasional copy paste of characters and quotes.****Concluida
