Sweet Savage Flame has compiled a list of 15 old-school historical romances that we think are absolute must-reads for those wishing to understand the genre’s roots.

These influential novels, published before the 2000s, have had a profound impact on the industry, catalyzing radical changes and shaping the historical romance landscape as we know it today.

Although our staff still has to review a few of these books, we recognize their importance in the context of romance history. We affirm our commitment to preserving the legacy and significance of these groundbreaking literary works.

Hopefully, these contributions will lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the historical romance genre, offering readers valuable insights into its evolution over the years.
