The Historical Hero World series is Kerrelyn Sparks’ foray into historical romance, set against the backdrop of the American Revolution. The first book, For Love or Country (originally published as The Forbidden Lady), came out in 2002 and tells the story of a patriot woman who falls for a man on the wrong side of the conflict. The second book, Less Than a Gentleman, arrived over a decade later in 2013 and continues in the same era with a new couple caught between duty and desire.

Both books mix colonial-era settings with the push and pull of wartime loyalties, giving the romances real stakes beyond the personal. Sparks brings her signature warmth to the genre here, though these books lean more toward traditional historical romance compared to the paranormal and fantasy work she later became known for. If you enjoy romance with an American history backdrop, this compact two-book series is a quick and satisfying read.
