Hey everyone, I'd like to direct your attention to Monroe With a Twist, a new book blog that I found via Rowena.
I've been getting to know Monroe and I have to say, she's pretty awesome. And I'd like to help her out by getting some historical romance recommendations from you. She liked Outlander and The Time Traveler's Wife. And she just recently read Mary Balogh's First Comes Marriage.
Now I am recommending Lisa Kleypas' Dreaming of You (knowing Kristie would get the fact that she hasn't read it yet out of her in no time LOL) and Loretta Chase's Lord of Scoundrels. These two are some of my top fave historicals.
What would you recommend for Monroe?
8 pokes:
I recommend:
"Suddenly You" by Lisa Kleypas
"Passion" by Lisa Valdez
"The Bargain" by Julia Templeton
and an oldie but a goodie...
"Prisoner of my Desire" by J.Lindsey
Not big on historicals but I too loved Outlander.
I liked Pamela Clare's Ride the Fire and Lisa Kleypas's Dreaming of You.
Linda Howards historicals were pretty good: A Lady of the West, Angel Creek, & The Touch of Fire.
Also, if she's into the Highlander/Scottish I LOVE Karen Marie Monings Highlander series, has a little historical as well as time travel and Fae elements:
Beyond the Highland Mist
To Tame a Highland Warrior
The Highlander's Touch
Kiss of the Highlander
The Dark Highlander
The Immortal Highlander
Spell of the Highlander
Julie Garwoods The Wedding. I love that book. And Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series.
Hi Monroe!
Seeing all these recs are inspiring a LOT of rereads. LOL
Thanks for the warm welcomes and great recs you guys! Ames your great thanks for pimping me out ;op~ You'll have to email all these books to me so I can read them! lol
Jo Beverley and Tracy Grant both write excellent and accurate historicals.
Two of my faves -- Castles by Garwood, and one I recently added to my fave list, Courting Miss Hattie by Pamela Morsi.
I second the recs that Ames gave you and I'll add a few of my own:
Honour's Splendor by Julie Garwood
The Prize by Julie Garwood
Okay anything by Julie Garwood
Something Wonderful by Judith McNaught
Once and Always by Judith McNaught
Almost Heaven by Judith McNaught
Okay anything by Judith McNaught except Whitney, My Love and Until You.
There are more but my brain's dead so I'll send you those rec's tomorrow.
