I’ve noticed that I’m in a bit of historical romance reading slump. I’m reading lots of romances – I finished a great one last night – but they’re pretty much all contemporary ones. A couple of my favourite authors have slowed their pace (or taken a hiatus) and that’s fine – but I haven’t managed to find any replacements for them yet. So please send me your suggestions. I don’t really do anything before the Tudor era (and it has to be pretty special to make me go back far) and I don’t really want highlanders. But apart from that go for it – especially if they’re more recent than regency because I have read so many of them.
To help with what I have read, here are some posts about Sarah MacLean, Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, Tessa Dare, Mary Balogh and obvs you know I like Georgette Heyer. Oh and I like historical mysteries like Lady Julia Grey and Lady Emily and Veronica Speedwell so you can factor that sort of thing in too!
Thanking you!
Verity Reads Books (lots of them) 
I’ve been enjoying Kelly Bowen quite a bit – just finished her Season For Scandal trilogy which has a very heist-y, Sarah MacLean vibe.
Oooh. That sounds good. Thank you so much!
I just read Hotel of Secrets by Diana Biller and I loved it so much! It releases March 28 I think!
I also read Unveiled by Courtney Milan earlier this year and adored it! I can’t wait to continue with the series.
Erica Ridley’s Wild Wynchester series is a fun time too!
I’m behind on posting HR reviews, but here is my most recent mini review set – https://wordsaboutwords.com/2022/11/05/mini-reviews-historical-romances-part-9/
Hope you find a few you enjoy!!

Thank you! I’ve read a lot of Courtney Milan but I’m not sure I’ve read that one and I’ll look at the others too. I think I’ve read some Erica Ridley before, but not that series.
