    Loved when the earl met his match and the temptation of a Highlander. Both are in my top 10 historical romances of the year.

    I really enjoyed Lady Ruthless! I plan to read more from her this year. My favorite part of The Duke Gets Desperate is that the FMC is so business savvy!

    So many fantastic historical romances! If you haven't already read them, Alexandra Vasti has a few novellas coming out in 2024 that are fantastic (I read them when they were available via her newsletter) as well as her debut novel. I'd also recommend Forever Your Rogue by Erin Langston, It Had to be a Duke by Vivienne Lorret, Knockout by Sarah Maclean, and all Felicity Niven's books. :)

    My favorite book of 2023 was No Earls Allowed by Shana Galen and some of my other favorite historical romances were The Belle of Belgrave Square and Third Sons A Charm. I also read Ana Maria and the Fox in 2023! I also loved Married by Scandal which was a fantasy romance but felt like a historical romance!!!

    I think The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne was my fav hr in 2023. I realized I just love noir historical romances ! I need all the dark historical romance recs!

      @christireadsalot Thanks for the rec! That is def on my radar! Does Stephanie Laurens write a lot of dark historicals as well? I read Devil's Bride and enjoyed it. I am wondering about her Black Cobra Quartet.

      @books4everafter ummmm I don’t know if she really does? But then I’ve only read the first book for a couple of her series now and I haven’t really loved her stuff enough to continue. Soo I don’t know but I feel like I don’t hear about her stuff being dark.

    I am new to this site. I am looking for a book. Can't remember the name or the author. This will be easy right? It's about twin princesses
    The first born got it all but the second was handmaid . A prince came to the castle and 2nd daughter was forced to pretend she was first born to lead him astray and let the real first born marry someone else. I read this years ago. If anyone could help me I can't thank you enough. It was a good book.
