I love you for every one of my smiles, and even more, for every one of your smiles.” “I love you for the children we’ll have and for the years we’ll have together. “I love you with everything I am, everything I’ve been, and everything I hope to be. I love you with my past, and I love you for my future.” He bent forward and kissed her, once, softly, on the lips. “I love you,” he said, his voice low and fervent.

Maybe it was just the fact that he had the good sense to (finally) fall in love with Penelope Featherington, maybe it was because Romancing Mr Bridgerton has the most fantastic secret revealed.

Maybe it is the image of a sexy man protecting an innocent and helpless baby, it just pulls at everything womanly inside of me…whatever it is, his gorgeous behind deserves to be on the list!

So picking our Top Ten Historical Boyfriends-we-have-chained-in-the-basement was a bit of a challenge and has sparked so many urges to reread that all my new releases have been put on hold! So, here are our Top Ten:

What are you in the mood for, a scandalous rake? Or maybe a kilted up highlander? A dashing Duke? Historical Romance has a smorgasbord of delicious heroes for us to chose from.
