@Terri It was so good, we read it with our book club and the cover was awful, made it look terrible. It is from the russian revolution to the current day and really is well written and a great story….
@Terri Julia Quinn has the Bridgerton series and Stephanie Laurens has the Cynsters. The Cynster series all follow the men Cynster family and the Bridgerton’s are one family of brothers and sisters. Great series both of them.
Terri, I am going on memory, as I am away on holidays.The main lady of the story begins a tea shop which becomes very successful in time, of coarse she marries eventually, has children, the follow ons 2 more, the Wild Rose and the Winter Rose continue throuhout their lives. Lots of reading in all books, I have loaned these books many times, everyone has enjoyed. I hope you do too if you can track them down. Jennifer has not written many books also prefers teenage novels, Happy reading
Through The Smoke was really good, Of Noble Birth is another one although I have the book but haven’t gotten to read it yet. Honor Bound is really good to.
I found that the first few pages were slow for me, the vacaction at the inn, but when Claire goes to the stones alone, it really picks up from there. My friend who recommended it for me had to give me the heads up about the slow start, or I might not have persevered. So glad I did though!
Phillippa Gregory’s books.
Are they a series?
Yes, And this is the order in which you should read them
I started reading “The White Queen” but stopped half-way through. The tv series with Rebecca Ferguson was spectacular.
Thank you @Vzqzz

Have you read Outlander?
It’s on my TBR list
Outlander is AMAZING ?
Agree 100%. Fabulous series
I remember loving the Bride by Julie Garwood, a Scottish historical fiction love story. I wound up reading a lot of her books. She had some trilogies.
I haven’t heard if her before
Look her up. I really enjoyed those books many many years ago. I remember them being page turners.
I will on my next library run!!
Leigh Ann Dobbs has a series called Scandals and Spies that I loved. The last book came out recently so you can read all of them!
That’s great!!
The TeaRose Jennifer Donnelly(Ithink thats how it is spelt also a follow on)

Jude Devereaux “Knight in Shining Amour”
love that book it’s awsome
Katherine by Anya Seton is one of the best, even if it is old!
I love that book- one of those I reread
Forever Amber! Written in the 1940″s but very good. Was my first romance novel and still my favorite.
@Paige Amazing book! One of my favorites. A must read!
Brenda Novak has some really good historical romance novels.
What is one you would suggest
Through The Smoke was really good, Of Noble Birth is another one although I have the book but haven’t gotten to read it yet. Honor Bound is really good to.
Ok thank you
“Accidental empress”. Not 100% Romance, but a good love story. About the empress of Austria Hungarian empire
Outlander.
On my TBR list
I can’t point to a particular book, but Napoleon loved Josephine more than he loved himself. Any book about those two would fulfill your wish.
Thank you
Katherine by Anya seton…the best
John Shor’s “Beneath a Marble Sky” is one of my favorite books. Beautiful love story set against the building of the Taj Mahal.

Outlander

My Secret Life by Anonymous

Alex and eliza
The Violinist Of Venice by Alyssa Palombo. Very good!
Forever Amber or Belle Cora. Both excellent reads! Hard to put down kind of books …
The Captive by Fern Micheals was good.
Sarah Sundin’s Wings of Glory Series is one of my favorites!
Outlander, A Discovery of Witches off the top of my head.
Outlander is on my TBR list

Ah ok thank you. I usually try to get at least a hundred pages Into the book before I decide to quit it
Me too, but some people give up after a chapter, so I wanted to let you know. It’s so worth going through the slow part!
Ok thank you for letting me know @Muzette
