Love and Romance in Historical Fiction

The list author says:
	"Scottish men must be seen as the ultimate in romantic masculinity. Every time a best selling Historical Romance novel comes out - like this one - it's odds on that the hero is a Scottish Chieftain."

The list author says:
	"Love is a problem Stuart ponders on as he strives to escape the clutches of the South China Sea. A wife, an ugly separation, a failed business, a crashed plane. Now, most dangerous, a precociouse girl"

The list author says:
	"Lady suggests a title for the involved male, such as "Sir," and if a hero can't be Scottish, he can at least have a title. That's not too much for a lady to ask surely?"

The list author says:
	"In 2035, a world of no titles, Zorn is far from a common person, yet stumbles over a common problems: the clash between an ultra-cool but shallow lover and a passionate yet flawed newcomer."

The list author says:
	"A real man of course needs no such fripperies as titles. No, all he needs is a perfect body. That will tempt any cool Englishman...."

The list author says:
	"....and even more so a hot-blooded Scot. Is history peopled entirely by Scotchmen and titled gentry? Were there no common people in the past?"

The list author says:
	"....but risk is of the essence in romance...."

The list author says:
	"....criminals can be desirable, because they're a sort of aristocracy in reverse...."

The list author says:
	"....and if you're really desperate, you'll dress as a man and go to war to get your man...."

The list author says:
	"....and a one night stand is all you might end up with. And he won't phone, 'cause the phone isn't invented yet."
