Thank you for the recs! I really do appreciate them. As luck would have it, I stumbled across a used bookstore several months ago that didn't have what I was looking for, but it did have massive amounts of romance. Actually, nearly the entire store was romance, but I was looking for a couple sci-fi books at the time. I suspect I could find some, if not all, of the books you mentioned there. I like having a place to start and a direction. I was overwhelmed at the choices when I walked into the little place. I didn't know where in the world to begin.
