Hi guys I can use some recommendations to expand my historical book collection. I seem to be wanting nothing but that genre at the moment. I have read Isabel Cooper, Sandra Dallas, Suzanne Enoch, Janet Chapman, Celeste Bradley, Mary Balogh, Mary Jo Putney, Elizabeth Boyle. I wanted to see if anyone have recommendations for a new discovery. Looking forward to finding new authors thanks

you have to try Lisa Kleypas. also for a lighter mood try Julia Quinn. Sherry Thomas is master at what she do too.

Elizabeth hoyt, Sarah McLean and Jennifer Ashley are some authors whose works I consistently read

[sweetdreams12]

yes I agree with lisa kleypas! julia quinn is also good and I just recently learnt of diane haeger~ courtesan was a lovely read

If you arento historical romance I think must-read author are: Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, Sabrina Jeffries, Suzanne Enoch and Mary Balogh. I see you have already read some of this authors.

Other authors I would recomend are: Sarah McLean, Laura Lee Guhrke, Grace Burrowes, Amanda Quick,...

Deanna Raybourn's Lady Julia series is a combination of period mystery and romance (a bit more on the mystery side). Another series in that genre is Teresa Grant's Charles & Mélanie Fraser.

Julia Quinn and Lisa Kleypas books were really good.

If you like dark tortured hero I would recommend Anna Campbell. Of course my other favorites are Judith McNaught and Lorreta Chase. You must try Lord of Scoundrels (Scoundrels, #3) by Loretta Chase.

For mystery (historical) you may read the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters, C.S. Harris

As for historical romance you have Loretta Chase, Stephanie Laurens, Johanna Lindsey, Candice Hern, Lynsay Sands have some historical romance novels also such as The Switch.

My favorite historical romance authors also include Jo Beverly, Miranda Neville, Caroline Linden, Kate Noble and Lauren Willig.

For historical mystery/romance you should try Michelle Diener and Anna Lee Huber. Other good historical mystery authors I read are Catherine Lloyd, Car Peacock, Imogen Robertson and Felicity Young.

I really like the works of Gillian Bagwell
