I like Jo Beverly and Susan Johnson's historicals. The hero and heroine "types" each writes are a bit repetitive if you read several of their books, but when I am in the mood for historical genre fiction, I like these two writers. Johnson is more graphic in her sex than many writers, and I like the footnotes she uses for the historical bits of trivia.
I found the book Ritual of Proof by Dara Joy to be unusual in that the roles are reversed in this universe--the women have all the power and the men are kept virginal. It's not the absolute best romance I have ever read, but the premise was so different, I have re-read a few times: http://freshfiction.com/book.php?id=1677
And if you like the angstier variety of romance, try Judith McNaught. Angst isn't my bag, so I don't consider her a favorite, but I've read several of her books, and they are genre classics. http://freshfiction.com/author.php?id=7555
