Historical Romances I've read and loved
Roselynde (Signature Select)Roselynde (Signature Select) by Roberta Gellis
Buy used from: £25.38
A nice twist to have the heroine being not only intelligent and strong minded, but to have her fall in love with an "older man" instead of some young hunk
Alinor: (Signature Select)Alinor: (Signature Select) by Roberta Gellis
Buy used from: £2.92
This was a very nice follow up to Roselynde
RansomRansom by Julie Garwood
Buy new: £9.10 / Used from: £1.74
A glorious, albeit historically inaccurate romp through the Scottish Highlands
Through a Dark MistThrough a Dark Mist by Marsha Canham
Buy new: £4.04 / Used from: £0.01
The first in a trilogy, a bit of a take off of the Robin Hood Legends. Grand, glorious fun
In the Shadow of MidnightIn the Shadow of Midnight by Marsha Canham
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01
The second of Canham's trilogy. This one is a bit heavier going in intrigue and history than the other two, but well worth it in my opinion
The Last ArrowThe Last Arrow by Marsha Canham
Buy new: £4.27 / Used from: £0.01
The last of the trilogy. Great fun, great romance, lots of action and the author's tongue is firmly planted in her cheek throughout the entire series
The Marsh King's DaughterThe Marsh King's Daughter by Elizabeth Chadwick
Buy new: £5.97 / Used from: £0.40
This was a bit different from the author's usual story -- you really won't find many lords, ladies and knights in this one.
The Love KnotThe Love Knot by Elizabeth Chadwick
Buy used from: £17.90
A very nice story, Catrin was stubborn to a fault, Oliver steadfast and honorable, a truly evil villain and a surprise return from the past of someone long thought dead.
The ChampionThe Champion by Elizabeth Chadwick
Buy new: £5.97 / Used from: £0.01
An interesting concept using the tourney circuit as a back drop, giving you an entrance into an area most of us know nothing about.
The ConquestThe Conquest by Elizabeth Chadwick
Buy used from: £0.01
Chadwick is a serious writer of Medieval fiction, but her earlier works are more romance oriented. However, her research and knowledge of the period always shines through
The GiftThe Gift by Julie Garwood
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.01
This is probably one of Garwood's funniest books
Honor's SplendourHonor's Splendour by Julie Garwood
Buy used from: £0.94
One of Garwood's earlier books and a bit heavy on the bodice ripping. Still very enjoyable and sprinkled with laugh out loud moments. I wish she'd write a sequel on this one
The BrideThe Bride by Julie Garwood
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £0.01
Another of Garwood's Scottish historicals. Entertaining, easy breezy reads
The WeddingThe Wedding by Julie Garwood
Buy new: £4.87 / Used from: £0.01
Another Scottish historical
Lady of the GlenLady of the Glen by Jennifer Roberson
Buy used from: £1.51
A great Romeo and Juliet love story, but there's a lot of sad history here as well. Don't let this new cover deceive you, this in not a bodice ripper!
The Road to AvalonThe Road to Avalon by Joan Wolf
Buy used from: £18.66
A different twist on the Arthur legends
Ashes in the WindAshes in the Wind by Kathleen Woodiwiss
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.01
While this is not Gone With the Wind, it is still a highly enjoyable civil war romance, heavy on the romance and light on the history
A Kingdom of DreamsA Kingdom of Dreams by Judith McNaught
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01
Great fun, a book to wrap your self up in your robe, slippers and a box of chocolates and indulge yourself
Almost HeavenAlmost Heaven by Judith McNaught
Buy used from: £0.88
McNaught is great fun for a weekend/beach read
The Tea RoseThe Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly
Buy used from: £34.77
Not to be missed, Joe and Fiona are great star crossed lovers
The Winter RoseThe Winter Rose by Jennifer Donnelly
Buy new: £5.47 / Used from: £0.01
The sequel to The Tea Rose. I lost more sleep on this one than The Tea Rose
The Bride FinderThe Bride Finder by Susan Carroll
Buy used from: £0.01
The first in Carrol's St. Leger series. A nice light read, and a happy ending to the Beast and the Beauty who tamed him and made him whole
The Night DrifterThe Night Drifter by Susan Carroll
Buy new: £4.27 / Used from: £0.01
The second in the St. Leger series
Midnight BrideMidnight Bride by Susan Carroll
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £2.48
What a wonderful little tale and a great finish to Carroll's St. Legar series
A Love Through Time (Time Passages)A Love Through Time (Time Passages) by Terri Brisbin
Buy used from: £3.54
A bit of a take-off on the Outlander premise of a circle of "singing stones" that can transport through time, albeit these stones were removed from the circle and built into an archway of a building.
