The reason I read romance is because I love the simple dynamic of two people (or three or more) beginning to build a life together. I like the interaction of one character with another.  I read lots of other kinds of books but the promise of the Happily Ever After appeals to me the most. 

 

I adore great world building but this is mainly as a frame for the relationship.  My favorite romance novels tend to be character driven. The conflicts are based in who the leads are instead of some outside force. I find I like this internal conflict especially in Historical Romances where hand wringing villains tend to lurk in every shadow.

 

I would love more Paranormal Romances to be character driven. I think this is why I admire and reread the books of Robin Owens so much. Her books are always character based even when there are outside forces at work.

 

I have offered my Best Historical Romance Novel choices here that are character driven. These are historical romance books with no villains. The plots are based on who the characters are and the relationship as the plot. 

 

As always, I would love your recommendations! If you would like to vote for the best of best, please click over to the Goodreads list: Best Character Driven Historical Romance
