Note
Only the noun can take this -s. The adjective historical, as in a historical figure, never changes form. As a noun, a historical is a historical romance, with the adjective standing in for the whole phrase, so historicals means several such books. Use the short form where the genre is already understood. Elsewhere, the full phrase historical romances reads more clearly.
