Our Editorial Promise
Our Promise To You
House of Wallflowers is built for readers first.
Every guide is created to help readers navigate authors, series, and genres with clear organization, thoughtful recommendations, and a genuine appreciation for historical romance.
Rather than trying to cover every romance novel ever published, we focus on the historical settings, beloved characters, memorable tropes, and classic and contemporary authors that make this genre so enduring.
What Counts as Historical Romance?
For House of Wallflowers, historical romance includes novels in which the historical setting plays a central role and the romance is a primary part of the story.
That means you’ll find everything from Regency favorites and Victorian classics to Highland adventures, medieval romances, Gothic romances, Gilded Age stories, and other historical settings that readers continue to return to year after year.
Independence & Transparency
House of Wallflowers is independently owned and supported through advertising and affiliate partnerships.
Some pages may contain affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you purchase through those links at no additional cost to you. Recommendations are selected because they fit the topic and may be helpful to readers.
Our Mission
We believe there is always room for one more book, one more unforgettable couple, and one more journey into the past.
Whether you’re revisiting a longtime favorite or discovering historical romance for the very first time, we hope House of Wallflowers becomes a place you’ll return to again and again.
