We recommend the entire Scoundrels series in any order, but Lord of Scoundrels stands out for the matchless banter between gruff, unruly Sebastian Ballister, Marquess of Dain, and his lovely nemesis Jessica Trent — an unrepentant bluestocking who's determined to wrest her dimwitted brother Bertie away from Ballister's crowd of rowdies.

Like so many of the authors whose names came up in this poll, it was hard to pick just one Beverly Jenkins book, but both our readers and our panelists agree, this story of love on the Underground Railroad is a standout favorite. Coming in a close second was another historical romance, Topaz, about a feisty newspaperwoman who ends up married, only slightly against her will, to a handsome deputy marshal.

One of the most popular picks in our poll, Diana Gabaldon's swashbuckling, century-spanning tale of a World War II nurse who tumbles backward in time to the Scottish Highlands in — and falls in love with a roguish young soldier — is now a hit television series. Houston Leigh survived the Civil War, though badly scarred both inside and out.

But will he survive a dangerous journey along the wild trails of Texas with Miss Amelia Carson, his handsome brother's mail-order bride? Left in debt when her philandering artist husband is murdered by his mistress's own jealous husband, Susanna Dallet must rely on her skills as a painter of miniatures to survive her new position at the court of the devious Cardinal Wolsey. Luckily, there's a wayward angel and a handsome but easily ruffled court secretary looking out for her.

As with so many entries in this list, you really should read the whole series. But if we had to pick just one, it'd be this one. Brilliant and yes, troubled, Ian MacKenzie has been banished to an asylum by his cruel, powerful father. Freed upon his father's death, Ian makes an impulsive marriage proposal to Beth Ackerly, a wealthy widow who decidedly wants no more drama in her life. Mary Balogh is a prolific historical romance author, and readers gave the most votes to her books about the spectacular, seductive Bedwyn brothers and sisters.

But we'd be remiss if we didn't also mention her excellent Survivor's Club series, about seven survivors of the Napoleonic wars who find themselves convalescing together at a stately home in England. Fossil-hunting rector's daughter Harriet Pomeroy summons the notorious Viscount St. Justin to sleepy Upper Biddleton to hunt the thieves who've been hiding loot in the caves where she works.

Love, intrigue and a lot of old bones can't be far behind. Amanda Quick is a pseudonym for the prolific contemporary romance author Jayne Ann Krentz who also writes futuristic romance under the name Jayne Castle. Lisa Kleypas writes solid contemporary romances too, but this series about a quartet of 19th-century young women who band together to conquer the London marriage market was a favorite with our voters and our panelists.

You can start pretty much anywhere in this beloved series about an alphabetically named family Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne The Bridgertons are some of the most famous siblings in romance — and the books are also a lovely example of familial love surrounding the individual love stories. There's nothing actually sinister in this interconnected series of stories about very smart women a chess prodigy, a newspaper publisher, a scientist and an astronomer, among others and the left-handed men they fall for.

Courtney Milan is a master of the intelligent relationship discussion — which, trust us, is incredibly romantic. Four notorious aristocrats — Bourne, Cross, Temple and the mysterious Chase — have built their lives around London's most notorious gambling hell, The Fallen Angel. But love has a way of offering absolution without making you give up the baccarat table. The dissolute Duke of Jervaulx is brilliant at both seduction and writing scientific papers — which he does with a blind Quaker mathematician.

But when he's left speechless and straitjacketed by a stroke, it's up to the mathematician's daughter, Maddy Timms, to see that there's still a man inside the restraints — and to reconcile her Quaker faith with her growing love. The seaside town of Spindle Cove is often known as "Spinster Cove" because of its lively population of unmarried women. But even in this haven for disaffected or delicate ladies, love finds a way in. Regency England is one of the most popular settings for historical romance, but Elizabeth Hoyt steps back a century for the Maiden Lane books, set in a bustling, grimy s London that teems with gin sellers and foundlings, noblemen and small, irritating dogs.

And in the background is the mysterious Ghost of St. Giles, a sword-wielding vigilante who may be a guardian of the city's poor — or something more sinister. The Everseas and the Redmonds rule the lovely Sussex, England, town of Pennyroyal Green — and the two powerful families can't stand each other. Naturally, that leads to secrets, grudges and all kinds of attraction, for the Everseas and the Redmonds, and anyone else who comes to town.

When the king orders Scottish laird Alec Kincaid to take an English bride, he sets his sights on Jamie, the youngest daughter of Baron Jamison. But Jamie has sworn she'll never love such an arrogant, brooding Highland barbarian — and that's even before murderous rumors begin to circulate about Alec. Lauren Willig takes the plot of The Scarlet Pimpernel and runs wild with it in this swoon-worthy series about florally named spies battling it out against the backdrop of the Napoleonic wars.

Bracketing the historical romance is modern-day historian Eloise Kelly, who unmasks the titular Pink Carnation and finds a love of her own while researching her dissertation. We couldn't quite decide where to file this time-traveling romance, but eventually we went with the setting for the start of Nicholas Stafford's story. He's a 16th-century knight reincarnated in the 20th to clear his unjustly tarnished name, with the help — and soon the love — of Dougless Montgomery, an American abandoned in England by her faithless fiance. Our expert panelist Sherry Thomas landed on the list with this emotionally intense story of a young Victorian nobleman who travels the world to find his estranged wife — a rare-for-her-time surgeon who has made a new life for herself in a far corner of India.

Eloisa James is a professor of Shakespeare when she's not writing romance, and it shows in these sparkling stories, laced not just with Shakespeare, but also with Marlowe and Christopher Smart. It's almost as fun to play spot-the-literary-reference as it is to follow the adventures of James' exquisite duchesses. One of Judith McNaught's most beloved books, Something Wonderful is the story of innocent country girl Alexandra, who saves cynical nobleman Jordan from a highway robbery — and winds up married to him after a misunderstanding.

But Jordan doesn't quite know what to do with his young and very unexpected bride. At over pages, The Windflower may be a little dense for some readers, but this tale of a gently reared young American miss swept away by a dashing English pirate captain is a classic of old-school romance — and it's finally been reissued after years out of print.

The lure of the Napoleonic Wars proves strong again in Joanna Bourne's Spymasters books, featuring a cast of dashing French and British spies finding love amid the danger.

Bourne's ability to write convincingly French dialogue — in English — makes this series a standout. Emmaline Martin, betrayed by her caddish fiance, meets soon-to-be-duke Julian Sinclair in India just before the sepoy uprising of They fall hard for each other, but a deception keeps them apart until a cold London spring, years later. Louise Vandermeer is 18, beautiful, rich, bored and very aware that her life is limited by those factors. To escape, she agrees to marry aristocratic rake Charles d'Harcourt sight unseen, unaware that a scar and a limp mar his looks.

For a lark, Charles decides to travel on his fiancee's ocean liner and seduce her secretly in her darkened stateroom — but the prank backfires when he falls madly in love with his own wife to be. Rachel Wade is finally free after years in prison for the death of her husband, a crime she did not commit. But as a thoroughly fallen woman, the only work she can find is as housekeeper to the cynical, jaded Viscount D'Aubrey. Gillian, the Countess of Greendale, has survived a brutal first marriage. Christian, Duke of Mercia, has survived capture and torture by the French.

When she takes over the management of his household upon his return to England, these two terribly damaged people begin to build a new life together. This, too, is part of a series that's worth checking out in any order you want to read them. Set in colorful Tang Dynasty China, these richly detailed romantic mysteries center on the celebrated courtesans of the Lotus Palace, who seem to attract as much trouble as admiration.

Anne Wilder leads a double life: But Jack doesn't know that the seductive thief who charmed him, and the honorable widow he loves, are one and the same. Portrayals of Native Americans in romance can be problematic, but our judges loved this story of a spoiled Boston heiress who heads west with her father to inspect some gold mines, and the Harvard-educated Absarokee leader who challenges their claims. Widowed Elly Dinsmore has been treated cruelly in her small Georgia town.

She's got two young boys and a third on the way, and she needs a man to help out. So she places a classified ad for a husband — and gets Will Parker, a lonely drifter condemned to live on the fringes of society after serving time for murder. Morning Glory takes readers on an emotional rollercoaster of love, betrayal, war and trials, but Will and Elly finally get their happy ever after. In the aptly named town of Marrying Stone, Ark. Find a husband by Christmas, or they'll find one for her. The last thing she expects is to fall for farmhand Jess Best, a good man who's been written off by the town because he doesn't think quite as fast as they do.

Ruth Berger, daughter of a Jewish professor, was meant to escape Vienna, but her plans went awry. As the Nazis march on the city, her father's colleague Quinton Somerville decides to rescue her with a quick marriage of convenience — he'll sweep her away to England, and they'll get a quick annulment. But neither Quin nor Ruth counted on falling in love. Buttoned-up widow Martha Russell is desperate. If she doesn't produce evidence of an heir soon, her late husband's cruel family will seize the estate she loves.

There's only one solution, obviously: She offers to pay her rakish neighbor Theophilus Mirkwood for a month of assignations. And Mirkwood is determined that Martha will get her money's worth. Lady Jane Cummings is finally out of mourning for her mother, but her father is showing signs of dementia, and her brother has only just returned from the Continent, where he escaped the responsibilities Jane has had to shoulder.

Jane needs a distraction, and it arrives in the form of reclusive neighbor Byrne Worth — who has mysterious ties to a highwayman who's been plaguing the area. She is still trying to recover from being compromised and married in haste to a friend of her father with whom she has a baby.

Then her husband dies He has a meddling mother who wants him married to a lady of her choice. He watches as his mother interferes in his sister Eleanor's love life and is aware of how miserable this situation is making her and is not sure what to do about it and certainly doesn't want mother dearest to have a say in his own choice of a wife. And so the story begins. Once more, a beautifully written novella which can be read either as part of this series or as a stand-alone. It gripped me from the very beginning and I had to finish it cursing the bit of tutoring and the lift-schemes I had to stop and do but finish it I did!

It is full of the angst of two people who were thinking they shouldn't care for each other at all because of their circumstances while deep down they both were falling totally in love. I love the games they played, the attempts to hide their true feelings, the arrogance of his mother, Diana's young son's cuteness and the bond of friendship Diana and Rose have for each other.

A very pleasing and entertaining story which I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend. I read a free copy of this ebook which was supplied by the author and this is my unsolicited and unbiased review of it. Mar 03, Margaret Watkins rated it really liked it. As a young debutante, Diana makes a foolish mistake, one which could have been overlooked except for the malicious gossip that it generated, which in turn forced her into a marriage with a man she despised.

When he obligingly dies in the arms of his mistress, Diana finds that in a world where men rule, she is somehow still to blame for his death while he is buried smelling of roses. Being widowed brings Diana to a new cross roads in her life, one where she refuses to bow down to the restrictions As a young debutante, Diana makes a foolish mistake, one which could have been overlooked except for the malicious gossip that it generated, which in turn forced her into a marriage with a man she despised.

Wolf's Mate audiobook by Chantal Fernando

Being widowed brings Diana to a new cross roads in her life, one where she refuses to bow down to the restrictions society has placed on her, and reckons that if her reputation has already been destroyed she has nothing to lose. She doesn't take into account the Earl of Stanhope's intervention and his protective nature. For every daring act Diana commits, Arthur is there to ward off possible repercussions.

Having been introduced to Diana in previous books where she was a self-pitying and rather miserable young lady, I enjoyed reading about her transformation and the growth of a spine. I also enjoyed the unravelling of Arthur Abbott as he came to realise that when the heart is involved, rules have to take second place. It helps to read these books in sequence as many of the characters in this book have appeared before, but the story can nevertheless be read as a standalone.

Rules to Be Broken

The plot has redeeming qualities, although the text does need some additional editing. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review. Feb 04, Janet rated it really liked it. However even four years later London society still talks, and no matter how hard Diana tries, the whispers and stares never cease.

This is the fifth book in the Forbidden Love Novella series by Bree Wolf and it is just as good as the first four.

Nov 22, Sharon rated it it was amazing. Thank you Bree Wolf for letting me read this wonderful book for an honest opinion of how well I did or did not like it. This is a great story and shows just how rude the upper crust of society can be to one of its own. Diana, though doesn't fold to their gossip and stares and commits many society no-no's, because of her boredom at home. She meets a royal who is the epitome of what to and not to do when out and about with the ton. It is full of action and is hard to put down once Thank you Bree Wolf for letting me read this wonderful book for an honest opinion of how well I did or did not like it.

It is full of action and is hard to put down once you start reading it. Another hit by Bree Wolf!! We have met both of these characters in prior books and I am sure they will pop up again in future stories. Diane was actually found in the first book in this series and she has had quite the life of complete snubbery if there is such a word by the rest of society.

Another very entertaining and very clean, quick read that I would definitely recommend it you enjoy regen A strong addition to Bree Wolf's novella Series Once again Bree has drawn you in with another couple as they try for their HEA. Another very entertaining and very clean, quick read that I would definitely recommend it you enjoy regency romance.

Aug 04, Annette Drewett rated it really liked it. We meet Diana who was a debutante in book 2 and imagined herself in love. She gets herself into a situation and is forced to marry an older man chosen by her father. It takes Diana a while to overcome her disappointment, you actually want to shake her quite often at the beginning.

When her husband dies in the arms of his mistress, society still sees her as the scandalous one. Arthur befriends her and is determined to save her from herself. The interaction between these two is brilliant. I enjoye We meet Diana who was a debutante in book 2 and imagined herself in love. I enjoyed this story. Diana lost her young girlish heart to a man who did not love her. When he asked her to meet him in the garden during a ball, she could not help but go to him. When her parents see them, her father demands he propose to her only to be laughed at. Diana must live down the gossip of the ton for years.

Katrina isn't the normal rough and tough character I usually read.

Rules to Be Broken (Forbidden Love Novella, #5) by Bree Wolf

The world is falling apart and changing around her as she is changing too. Katrina learns some amazing things about herself here and I'm curious about her powers. However, in the end Katrina has grown and is stronger. She is working toward being a strong woman that can take on the world. Things happen to and around Katrina, she's only scratched the surface of what she can do. And it's all a mystery to her and us.

Paperback Editions

I'm hoping Katrina learns a great deal of what she can do and step up to fight for what and who she wants. Charles and Katrina fight their families to be together, but what they don't know is their families know the secret they will learn in the end. Hopefully their love will pull through. The way Katrina and Charles fight for their love reminds me a touch of Romeo and Juliet, as the families don't get along.

But this is mixed with a supernatural blend of magic and creatures. Tiffany Clayton johnson rated it really liked it Jan 08, Sarah marked it as to-read Nov 12, Jesslyn marked it as to-read Feb 05, There are no discussion topics on this book yet. Books by Robyn Sadler.
