Here's a follow -up question: are there any male authors that write romance that anyone can recommend?

Of course my 3rd fave (historical fiction) is probably also male dominated, but I would have to run stats on it to be sure. Perhaps I should experiment on myself and only read female authors for 6 months and then male authors for 6 months and see if I have a noticeable difference in reading enjoyment. nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-82201947141027994822014-06-29T09:18:32.631-05:002014-06-29T09:18:32.631-05:00Women, because I read mainly romance but surprisin...Women, because I read mainly romance but surprisingly even the fantasy books I read are mostly written by lady authorsLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796250279878652019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-27267994135113679602014-06-29T09:02:16.993-05:002014-06-29T09:02:16.993-05:00I read more books written by female authors than m...I read more books written by female authors than male authors.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900600731051775847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-11587084884176948482014-06-29T08:56:10.789-05:002014-06-29T08:56:10.789-05:00I definitely read more male authors - Patterson, W...I definitely read more male authors - Patterson, Woods, Grisham.
