I don't know if you can really count it as historical romance but have you read Fire by Kristin Cashore and Game of thrones.

Hi i read the reviews of the books u mentioned.The female lead is some sort of beautiful lethal monster.I guess that should be under the paranormal/fantasy section.I dont really like this genre particularly because i have read twilight.have u read these books and did u like it?would u recommend it?

Hello flyangelaway! I would highly recommend to you judith mcnaughts historicals.I love regency romances where the hero is a Duke or Earl.whitney my love and kingdom of dreams are the most popular novels by her.You can also try The Duke by Gaelen Foley.Do you have any particular favourite historical that u absolutely loved?

Hi Annie,

Welcome to STP, you're gonna love it here.

If you love historical romance, I would recommend reading Stephanie Larens.
Her 'Reasons for Marriage' and The Cynster Bar Series are real good.
Give it a try when you have time, you gonna love it.

I have read stephanie laurens first book in the cynster series the 'Devils Bride'.Although many people seem to love this series i cant connect with a hero who is named Devil whose cousins are named Scandal,Vain and Demon.There was no verbal sparring or humor so the story was quiet flat IMO.I once read a book with a hero named Harry Pye!i mean seriously lolz...i like heros who have sexy manly names like Clayton,Jordan,Alexander etc.....Devil was find but no Scandal or Vain.

Okay, mabye you should try 'Tiger's eye' by Karen Robards (it's great) , I think that's closer too what you're looking for.

Wild Orchid by Cameron Donkey is not one of my favorite books, but it's not bad. It's a retelling of mulan.

I agree with the no humor part. I read the same book and I just couldn't continue since I didn't find that I could connect with it.
I also love historical romance so I defenitly recommend Julia Quinn, Laura Lee Guhrke, Elizabeth Hoyt, Lisa Kleypas, Eloisa James, and Sabrina Jeffries.

I have read books by all the authors you mentioned except for sabrina jefferies.I will read one by her soon once i finish reading The bronze horseman by paullina simons.

Cool. I definitely recommend the School of Heiresses Series and the Hellions of Halstead Hall!
