Historical Fiction

Laura Paquet: "The Incomparable Cassandra" - Enjoyable Regency, in which not a whole lot "happens", but rather the greatest hurdles the hero & heroine have to overcome are their misapprehensions and misconceptions about each other - and themselves. Although, of course, there's the incident with the fortune hunter...

If you are a fan of Regencies, don't overlook author Georgette Heyer. My favorite after Jane Austin.

Peerless comedies of manners She's one of my favourite authors, though her Regency is truly as artificial as any fantasy novel, it's a brilliant place to visit.

One of my other favourites is Paul Doherty - I love medieval mysteries/murders and his just push all my buttons.

I enjoy both her Regencies and mysteries. My favorite book by her is "The Grand Sophy."

"A Regency Christmas IX" - A collection full of cosy cheer. Contains stories by Edith Layton, Barbara Metzger, Amanda McCabe, Sandra Heath & Carla Kelly.

The Second Duchess by Elizabeth Loupas, inspired by the poem "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning. It's a historical murder-mystery-romance. The prose is so, so gorgeous. A beautiful book with a dark atmosphere.

I also enjoy historical romance, from authors like Courtney Milan and such.

I'm currently reading Ruta Sepetys' The Fountain of Silence. Salt to the Sea is also in my wishlist.
I also enjoy historical romance like Lisa Kleypas' or Julia Quinn's.
