I imagine this draws on part of Liffen's PhD thesis (2007) but I haven't been able to access that. The two texts discussed are:
Dickinson, Margaret, 2001. The Fisher Lass. London: Macmillan.
Hood, Evelyn, 2001. The Shimmer of the Herring. London: Warner Books.
The focus of this article is on the covers and it doesn't give many details about the contents, but from what I can tell by looking elsewhere online, I suspect these are "romantic fiction" rather than "romance," particularly the novel by Hood.
