And Now for Something (Slightly) Different

Submitted by Jennifer A [1] on Thu, 06/10/2010 - 9:57am

Globes I was browsing the shelves the other day, and it struck me how many historical romances were set in England, Scotland, and the United States. Although I love these settings, sometimes I’m in the mood for something a little different. I looked through our catalog and found several romances set in different parts of the world (although most have English main characters). Be sure to check them out!
