The Bronze Horseman (The Bronze Horseman Trilogy)
I don’t have much experience with historical romance novels. In fact, I tend to bypass them, and in all honestly, I don’t even know WHY I usually choose to skip them for something contemporary. It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed those that I’ve already read. As I think back to them, I’ve loved them all. Books about Highlanders, some from the Victorian era, and then some, errrr… okay. Mostly Highlanders. 😉 LOL! Each and every one of them has captured my attention and I’ve found myself completely absorbed and dreaming of a different time. A different way of living. A different way of loving. Some occasional scenes depicting appalling male tendencies and customs, to be sure, but these romance authors sure have a magic touch in making some of them hero-worthy. I don’t think I’d want to test my luck in a real-life “time travel” experiment, but in the land of fiction, these guys seem just as wonderful and exciting as our contemporary bad-boys.

Paullina Simons – The Bronze Horseman Trilogy (The Timeless Saga)
The new year has brought some great suggestions, including this one (over and over again)!
This one comes highly recommended by Rena:
“I was wondering if you’ve ever heard of the book The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons. The setting is in World War 2 and it’s a love triangle between a soldier and two sisters. If you love Christian, Kellan and Travis, I can’t imagine you NOT falling in love with Alexander. Honestly, he puts the squee in squee-worthy. He’s got Travis’ possessiveness, Christian’s intimidation, and Kellan’s hotness. Alexander is really real. He gets angry and he can be scary but he’s passionate and adorable and funny and delicious, … Anyway, this book has everything you could ever want. A tortured hero, a really really intense love, maybe too much sex, and angsty angsty angst.”
