Yes I have pretty much an allergic reaction to the word "minx" at this point. I didn't get into regencies until about 2010 and never into Harlequins, something I am pretty grateful for.

I tried a K J James and thought it was good but it didn't click for me. I did like the avoidance of Manliness. Rose Lerner has some very unconventional regencies if you ever want to give m/f a go again, "A Lily Among Thorns" has a very cute m/m side ship.
