What better time of year to celebrate romance stories that Valentine’s Week? Since I adore historical romance, I jumped at the chance to join ten other historical romance authors for this swoon-worthy giveaway.
First Place Prize: A copy of each of the books pictured above.
Second Place Prize: $50 Amazon gift card.
The winners will be selected on Monday, February 19, and I’ll be sure to leave a comment here on the blog as an announcement.
I’m giving away an autographed copy of Fairest of Heart my western Snow White retelling.
Family Fiction Magazine recently conducted a poll among their readers to determine their favorite romance sub-genres. I created a graph to show the results.


If you had to pick just one favorite romance sub-genre, which would you choose?
I’m historical all the way. 🙂

I’m definitely on the historical side but I’m really, really close to the border with contemporary. That’s why I’ve written both and have done about ten dual-time novels because that way I get to play in both sections.
And you do both so well, Robin. 🙂
Historical, of course! 🙂
WooHoo!Tea parties, gowns, and historical cowboys mixed with a smattering of British peers. Let’s go!
Contemporary romance is my favorite.
I enjoy a good contemporary rom com. 🙂
When I was younger I loved historical romance, now I have leaned toward romantic suspense, but a good love story is fun in any genre!
I couldn’t agree more, Katie. A well told story will captivate me in any genre.
Romantic suspense
Nice! My husband and I love action flicks, and I find myself adding suspense elements to my historicals as a result. 🙂
Uggh, how do I just pick one? I guess I would go with romantic suspense. But contemporary and historical are right up there! 🙂
It’s nice to love a variety, Jennifer. You’ll never get bored. 🙂
I LOVE reading historical romance! And am surprised and encouraged to see contemporary romance ranking so well in that pie chart. For a long time, it felt like there wasn’t much demand for my genre among Christian fiction readers. 🙂
It’s been growing by leaps and bounds in recent years, Becky. No doubt in part to great books like the ones you write. 🙂
I have been recently reading contemporary but traditionally pick historical fiction. Suspense is in the mix as well. I just love reading fiction!!!
A good story is a good story, right? It feeds the soul. 🙂
Romantic historical fiction
You and I can definitely be reading buddies, Abbie. 🙂 That’s my absolute fave!
Hmmmm favorite sub genre that is so hard

I love books that make me laugh. 🙂
