^ Hey! Thanks for the suggestion!

Will check if I can get a copy online. That's something to look forward to.

liz carlyle books are good. talagang iba-iba yung mga stories and circumstances ng mga characters niya. connected kasi sila lahat, in a way, but you dont have to read it in order. yung mga "series" kasi nag-ooverlap in a way with each other kasi magkakakilala yung mga characters something.

...come to think of it, para ngang mas marami na mga historical romances na ebooks sa kindle ko. wah gotta look for contemporary ones na. may times kasi na feel ko pare-pareho lang plots ng historical novels.

ako naman i'm a big time julie garwood fan. she's known for her great historical novels especially her earlier works. sa sobrang kaadikan ko i have all her books nga past-present. sakanya rin ako nagumpisang magbasa ng historical.

you can try:
prince charming (sweet and nakakakilig)
saving grace (i cried while reading this. my fave)

when i read a julie garwood series, i have to read it in between contemporaries or paranormal novels.

para kasing nabobored ako na ewan.

pero laird's fiances series pa lang naman nababasa ko.

I just finished "A Rose In Winter" by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss last night. Super love ko yung story. Lovable ang hero and the heroine. Full of intrigues and mysteries. A beauty and the beast kind of tale with a twist. Highly recommended read

Judith McNaught - Whitney, My Love
Jude Deveraux - Knight in Shining Armor (travelled back in time)

Im not sure if what Im gonna recommend is a historical one. I read The Wayward Muse like a hundred times and its really good. It happened a hundred years ago and the characters/relationships happened

Empire by Gore Vidal --- he's a master at shaping characters... talagang you will want to know each one intimately...
Also The Queen's Confession by Victoria Holt... written in 1st person and - even though you know what ultimately happens to marie antoinette -- the way she traverses nostalgia, bitterness, panic and awe is a journey in itself...

sisses, yung bang Sequels by Judith McNaught, stand-alone ba sya or it should be read in sequence?

I-up ko lang ang thread mga sisses...

Parang na-iintriga ako sa mga books ni Connie Mason. Anong mga novels niya ang maganda?

I thought I had "Caress and Conquer" on my ipad, pero it just got lost (might have accidentally deleted it), and I never had a chance to read it...

For Regency romance-type, try:
Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series - quick reads and lighter than McNaught's books but delightful nonetheless
- The Duke and I
- The Viscount Who Loved Me
- An Offer From A Gentleman
- Romancing Mister Bridgerton
- To Sir Phillip, With Love
- When He Was Wicked
- It's In His Kiss
- On the Way to the Wedding
- The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After

Julianne Donaldson
- Edenbrooke > super nakakakilig! I've recommended this to a number of people and kinilig sila lahat
- Blackmoore

Philippa Gregory's Tudor series, Cousin's War series
Laura Andersen's Boleyn Trilogy

I read that book years ago, and I remember feeling sorry for her afterwards. The way her story was presented in the book (naive girl sent to marry a stranger in another country and become its queen despite lacking the talent/intelligence needed to rule) made it seem like she was set to fail from the beginning.

Cassie Edwards - Savage Series and other Native Americans historical romance books
Philippa Gregory- The Red Queen, The White Queen, The Lady Rivers, The King Maker's Daughter and many more

Sequels series "Once and Always" , "Something Wonderful" and "Almost Heaven" by Judith McNaught ba sis? I have read the first 2, hindi naman related yung mga stories nila

So I think kahit hindi in order mo basahin ay okay lang

yes indeedy... and marie antoinette's own mother was first to see it coming... i wouldn't mind a similar take on a fictional autibio of, say, any of Henry VIII's ex-wives...

basta historical, for me either Judith McNaught or Kathleen Woodiwiss lang...
