I don’t know if it has to do with their short shelf life, the odd place they hold between ‘novel’ and ‘category’, prejudice against silly Harlequin novels and their secret babies or just a lack of promotion. They range from light hearted to deeply emotional with characters you want to learn more about, would love to spend more time with and are happy to see earn their HEA.Sadly the line seem to be often over looked and doesn’t get near the attention it deserves. And they aren’t all fluffy, easy, throw away stories. ![]() Want a Medieval, Roman or even a European tale that doesn’t happen during a Regency time frame you can find it at Harlequin. Want a Western, Harlequin Historical has it. ![]() And not only are they done well, to the point that even their average reads often stand head and shoulders over many full length historicals, they are not all set in Regency England. At a time when historical romance is repeatedly reported dead and Harlequin categories are often maligned it has to be said the Harlequin Historical line consistently releases great historical romances by some of the best authors. ![]()
