I am wondering if any one knows if there are any homosexual romance novels that are not erotica. I read historicals mostly. I am a little burned out on traditional stories and I am looking for something a little different. I do not mean to offend anyone and I appologize if I have.

Most of the LGBT romance novels that I've read are pretty cheesey...good but cheesey like most romance novels are.  Jennifer Fulton, Gerri Hill...Greg Herron has a few that are fun...  Lauren Maddison is mystery/romance..her books are sort of fun.  Historical though...hmmm I haven't come across any, maybe you just found your niche...write one!  : )

If you are willing to stretch things a bit, you might like Laurie King's The Art Of Detection. It is a mystery with a historical thread. One of the cops is a Lesbian, and her home life is discussed. The historical part includes gay men.  That's about all I can say without giving away the plot. Its very well written, and I really enjoyed it.

Ooooh, thanks for that recommendation.  I've read some of Laurie King but not that one.  I'll put it on my list.

Solitaire and Brahms by Sarah Dreher is a classic lesbian romance novel that I really enjoyed. 

Fingersmith by Sarah Waters is a wonderful book. Not romance, per se, more historical fiction with a lesbian storyline as a major plot point.
