Calypso | 6 comments Hello Romance fans!

I am looking for recommendations of regency romance novels on any topic, as long as the character and plot development are strong, and the writing flows smoothly.

Authors that I love are: Lisa Kleypas, Lorraine Heath, Suzanne Enoch, the earlier Grace Burrowes, the earlier Elizabeth Hoyt

Authors that I initially enjoyed but whose writing/ character development I increasingly find a bit clumsy are: Julie Anne Long, Julia Quinn, Mary Balogh, Sabrina Jeffries, Johanna Lindsey

Authors I do not like: Anne Gracie, Anne Herries

Any recommendations? Thank you very much!

Brittany | 312 comments The Scandalous Scions series by Tracy Cooper-Posey is amazing. She writes really strong and independent heroines and incredibly detailed and historically accurate stories - you can tell she does a lot of research. I always learn something from her books and my emotions run the gamut in every story. And she keeps you guessing...nothing cookie cutter or formulaic in my opinion.

Sycorax | 88 comments Courtney Milan is my absolute favourite - The Brothers Sinister, The Worth Saga and the Turner Series.

Meredith Duran is great. i especially like Bound by your Touch. Sherry Thomas' books are constantly good. I like Tessa Dare, though her books seem to have slightly less substance.
