Hee. You're very welcome. I use Heyer on a lot of male SF fans... once they realize that there is a story in there, they tend to be pretty happy. And I don't try if the fan in question hates a lot of the stuff that fits romance genre conventions.
If you tend to read for characters, you'll probably like other romance authors too. Just be cautious. Some of the publisher requirements up into the 1990s were pretty toxic. For a while, there was a rule that you couldn't show the female lead having sex without her being raped first. By the male lead. Yes, this led to a lot of *really* dreadful books. (yep, that's what the phrase "bodice ripper" refers to)
