I thought all heroes in romance novels were by definition incredibly masculine, passionate and possessive.

There are many really romantic stories that have no sex at all. I always thought that Jane Eyre has one of the most romantic of love stories in it. Persuasion by Jane Austen is another novel with a truly wonderful romance. A truly good romance needs a believable love story with characters whose feelings for each other go way beyond the physical. There is great passion in Jane Eyre, but no sex. I think some romance writers add sex scenes simply to titillate the reader, not because it actually adds anything to the story. Some of the greatest romances of all time seem to be those where the characters have a connection to each other that approaches the spiritual as well as including the physical attraction and mental compatibility. Wuthering Heights is such a book, with a connection that is stronger than life itself.

The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon:
It's historical romance about a woman who steps back in time to the late1600's Scotland. James Malcolm MacKenzie Frazier is the most romantic and brave man. Just what you're looking for!
Voyager
Dragonfly in Amber
Drums of Autumn
Outlander

That is just how I prefer my heroes:
Any books by Nora Roberts...try Honest Illusions, Montana Sky, Blue Smoke, Carolina Blue...really any of her books, all of her heroes fit the bill.
By Johanna Lindsey, You Belong To Me (historical romance).
By Judith McNaught (all her heroes are manly, possessive, HOT)...Paradise, Perfect, Night Whispers and she has some historical romances...Whitney, My Love (awesome), Kingdom of Dreams, Until You, Once and Always, Something Wonderful.
By Jennifer Crusie...Bet Me (one of my favorite books, both funny and romantic)
By Julie Garwood...Saving Grace (great, great story and the hero also fits the bill!)

Definitely Jude Deveraux. Try "A Knight in Shining Armor". "Legend" is also pretty good.

Check out Christine Feehan's "Dark" series. If you like strong, passionate, possessive, and dangerous men, you will like these.
