Highly Recommended Historical Romance Books

By 49 Comments

Talk of historical romance stories is plentiful here, and even though I am not well-versed in this genre, we have many fellow readers that absolutely LOVE and highly recommend ’em. I couldn’t help myself! I just had to compile the most talked about ones into a list.

After all, I’ve loved a few of ’em myself (haven’t we all, if we consider Outlander and The Bronze Horseman, just to name a few – I also read a few in Karen Marie Moning’s Highlander series – SO good!), and sometimes fun to take a break from our usual genre, and explore something completely different (and yet still, 100% romance). In fact, many of the heroes in these books will remind us of our own alpha-favorites. read more

Sarah needs our book help! O)h this one sounds wonderful, and somewhat angsty!!

She asks:

Hello Maryse,

I found your site recently that’s why I am not quite sure if I have to message your that way. But I am looking for a book that I read a few months ago and I forgot the name of the book because I deleted it on my phone.

It was about a man and a woman I think it was set around the 19th century, I am not quite sure but I think the man is a cowboy and he has a ranch, his wife died and left him with their newborn son or daughter. Because his child can only take breast milk he has to find a woman who can breastfeed his child but there is only one woman in the town who can do that because there aren’t any other mothers with newborn baby’s. read more
