Are the male characters typical rich, dominant, manly-man types, though? I'd like to read romance with good female characters, but also male characters who don't fit the typical romance novel mold...

The men are a little more stereotypical. They're rich, handsome, and occasionally stupid. They do respect (or grow to respect) the heroines though, and they don't try to take away their autonomy.

I would be so much more likely to go out of my way to read a romance novel if it had the kind of guy in it that appealed to me...one which you so rarely find in those roles.

Rather.

It was a funny day when I realized I would be such a sucker for romance novels and reality TV dating shows and all that bullshit if it had people in it who I remotely liked, sympathized with, related with, or found myself attracted to.

If you like a non-typical man in a romance role, try Cotillion by Georgette Heyer. It's my favourite novel of hers because Freddy, the hero, is a rather absent-minded, mild-mannered inconsequential fop, and discounted by all his family, until he shows his true mettle without changing a whit of his real character. I adore him.

The Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries by Dorothy L Sayer have a similarly unconventional hero. I recommend Strong Poison. It's the closest to come to a romance in the series.

Both writers are also very funny, which is essential to me in any romance novel.
