I love historical romances but haven't been reading many recently because of this trend- hero is poor, not alpha and has to marry

Yeah, I wouldn't like that trend either. It doesn't sound appealing at all!!!!!!!

Thankfully around the time I noticed the trend I found online forums which introduced me to contemporaries featuring the trope I wanted to read

I'm glad.

but I still missed historical romances with Brenda Joyce heroes types!

I hope you get some good recs! I haven't read historicals in a long time but I'll definitely post if I can think of a good one.

Any recommendations I have would be pre-2000.

I like Heather Graham's paranormal books. 🎃

@rgreader this theme is making me think of all my faves! At the top of my head are

Whitney My Love - Judith Mcnaught
Honor’s Splendour - Julie Garwood
The Secret - Julie Garwood

I'll check out this author. I don't have her books

She is on Wattpad if you want to check out her writing style.

I'm looking for the opposite...alpha hero is wealthy and marries heroine because he wants too. Old school like Brenda Joyce's oder historicals.

Please offer reccomendations....thanks!

rgreader,

I agree, I like my historical H's to be Dukes .. or at the very least a Marquess or an Earl.. rich as Croesus, look down in disdain on everyone and then fall hard for the heroine lol

I see your Avatar is a box of Krispy Kremes... I remember quite a few years ago now, when KK first came to Australia. The event made the headlines in all the newspapers, leading story on the news and when the shop opened there were what seemed like thousands of people for the opening and cars lined up for miles. You'd think the Beatles had come to town! 😊

Hero is rich, but looked down on. Very jealous, it’s non Pc. Old school romance. My fav

Recently, I've been reading the entirety of Lisa Kleypas's books and god, does it fits the description.

If every H has it's own traits of character and backstory, they all share wealthiness/ possessiveness (and protectiveness) as well as minimal respect for woman (which is, in my opinion, a must have no matter the era)

A few personnal recs even though I loved all of her books(don't know how to link them)

- Dreaming of you
- Chasing Cassandra
- Tempt me at Twilight

Hope it helped
