I love these recommendations, so many new authors for me. I’m excited to dive in.

Thank you, Jessica! 👍your recommendtions are always on point! By the way, do you or anyone reading this comment happen to know of any historial romance novel with Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South trope? Or Pride and Prejudice, for that matter. I mean, H proposes, h rejectes him but later falls in love with him by knowing him better and suffers because she thinks he thinks ill of her, which, of course, is not true. Too specific? 😅 I love this trope, but I don't find it very often. Any suggestion? Thank you! 🙋‍♀️

I've never read any historical romance but this video is making me want to give some a go!

I also don't know of you've heard of a book called Storm and Silence by Rob Thier. It's a Historical Romance with a mix of Action and thrillers and it's soo good that was my FIRST Historical romance a couple of years ago. I'm sure you'd love it

I guess nothing can be just better than 'Storm And Silence' by Robert Their for me. It is the one and only historical romance series that kept me hooked up!
Do try it. It is just spiffing!!!

I read A Knight in Shining Armor ages ago. It always stuck out in my mind because the heroine's first name is Douglass. Just another book that I read years ago that Jenn and you have helped me to rediscover because I can never remember titles! Thank you for all the assistance, not to mention great new (to be read) and old (to be re-read) recommendations.

I think it’s been about 15 years since I’ve read a historical romance, but some of these sound really good. I think I’ll be picking some of these up!

I will be reading Sherry Thomas and Jeannie Lin for Asian month as well

I've added all those to my TBR like I can't get enough at all. My TBR keeps getting longer and my other books are like: What the heck are you doing? 😃

The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan (Brothers Sinister #3) is friends to lovers!

[midnightblack]

Awesome recs! I love that you included Indie authors like Nicola Davidson and Grace Callaway. Also, not surprised to see the queens Lisa Kleypas and Lorraine Heath on this list more than once. :)

Hello from British Columbia Canada
🇨🇦👋👍♥️😎🎨🖌🐕🐾🐾🦋. Knight in Shining Armour, my favourite Jude Deveraux time travel ( there's one set earlier castle in Scotland or the borders and one in american west cowboy). Lauren Willig, HR/ contemporary series " The Secret History of the Pink Carnation " has bi-racial characters, ( I can't remember which book/s)...but really funny entertaining series.

I can't find one and can't remember the name😢 it took place during or after the civil war and the heroin has to marry cause she is left by her self and she married a rich banker that was disabled in the war, sorry it's all that i remember ...

[hrtlss_grl]

These look awesome! Can't wait to try the ones I haven't read yet. Definitely gonna pick up A Knight in Shining Armor. But I wanted to let you know that Say Yes to the Marquess you got reversed! She wants out of the engagement, and he is convinced he has to make sure that she marries his brother even though he is in love with her! It makes it soooo much better when they finally get their HEA!

If you're interested in medieval romances you should try Elizabeth Chadwick. That's what she's known for and they're really good.

[lexikenz]

I read the Sapna Bhog historicals after I saw you read them and I LOVED them! I wish she wrote more historical romance.

Love the Hathaways Series by Lisa Kleypas soooo fun!
