I love Judith McNaught-
Almost Heaven
Something Wonderful

[MinaGonza]

Lord of Scoundrels. I will always love that book and hold dear to my heart!!!

[srinidhicillanki]

Lord of scoundrel!! Oh gosh. Such an amazing book. The passion is from both the boy and the girl which makes all the more exciting!

[coffeetea]

I love Nine Rules! It was my first Sarah Maclean book and such a good introduction to her books!

[jessicahaalstra]

Ravishing the Heiress by Sherry Thomas is an absolute hidden gem. Worst title but so much longing. Made me cry.

[heiditheowl]

I really need to read The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie and the Highwayman! You've already read this, but my favorite historical romance is The Viscount Who Loved Me. That set the bar SO high and now I'm on a hunt for books that will top it!

[SeasonallyBookedUp]

So happy seeing Nine Rules on this list! Haven’t read quite a few of these so I need to read them asap

[mycah]

My Top 5 are the following:

1. The Kingdom of Dreams (Judy McNaught)
2. A Week to be Wicked (Tessa Dare)
3. The Other Miss Bridgerton (Julia Quinn)
4. Marry in Scarlet (Anne Gracie)
5. Silk is for Seduction (Lorettta Chase)

Everything Julie Garwood is perfection
Almost Heaven by Judith McNaught s my fave but I love all her books

'Again the Magic' by Lisa Kleypas had the angst I need. Made me cry.

[lunalovegood]

Have you read Karen Robards? She is amazing. I would recommend Island Flame and Dark Torment. Island Flame is a pirate, captive romance. Dark Torment takes place in Australia in 1820s when it was a prison colony. He's a convict she's a highborn landowners daughter and it is SO SO GOOD!

[abcarlson]

The favorites that I read time & time again are 'A Kingdom of Dreams, ' 'Ransom, ' & 'The Secret.' I've read each at least half a dozen times, and I have read 'Kingdom' once year for probably 25 years as I just love that Jen is so strong and Royce has to bend/evolve.

Devil's Daughter by Lisa Kleypas (Book 5 in The Ravenels) was literally everything I love in a historical romance. Widow, slight enemies to lovers, absolutely adorable and hilarious. I'll also throw in Hello Stranger by Lisa Kleypas (Book 4 in The Ravenels) purely for the hero.

[tesslydon]

I just started reading historical romance in summer of 2020 and I am not looking back! My favorites are probably ones most people have read already as I'm a newbie. So far my favorites are Governess Game by Tessa Dare and The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn,

[MsDianaJean]

I couldn’t pick a favorite historical romance (my OG love) but I could pick authors. In no order: Lisa Kleypas, Julie Garwood, Amanda Quick, Judith McNaught. I’ve read all their books.

[nperks]

My absolute favorite historical romance is Until Forever by Johanna Lindsey. SO good!!

[katywall]

My favorite is Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

[sophiewashere]

Lol. Jane Eyre - although it isn't necessarily classed as a romance, the romance is incredible!!

[katiethorn]

I’ve just finished Edenbrooke and I cried like a lot… it’s up there with my favourites now

[shawnbeverly]

I am astonished!!! Where oh where is my beloved Judith Mcnaught's "A KINGDOM OF DREAMS?!?!?!?" That is quite possibly my FAVORITE historical romance of all time! I'm shocked...and a little heartbroken 💔
