Recommend a good historical fiction love story!

Something along the lines of Outlander... the Bronze Horseman... The Other Boelyn Girl... etc.

Any ideas? ;D

Here's a really good list we made: www.pandce.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=nbc&action=display&thread=3719

I'm not sure exactly what aspects of Outlander that you liked (and I haven't read the others), but I would recommend Ines of my Soul by Isabel Allende and Snow Falling on Cedars by David Gutterson.

The Tea Rose series by Jennifer Donnelly, if you haven't already read it.

Love, love, love it.

thank you for the recs!!

I started to read The Tea Rose and couldn't get into it. I feel like maybe I was 50-100 pages in? Should I plow through? This was a couple years ago I think.

Rose Gordon writes some good historical romance. Her 'Groom Series' is really sweet. I didn't enjoy the 'Scandalous Sisters Series' as much, but it was still enjoyable. She has good sales too. If you keep your eyes open, she'll drop the prices to 99cents from time to time.

Right now 'Intentions of the Earl' is free on Nook. It's #1 is the Scandalous Sisters series. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/intentions-of-the-earl-rose-gordon/1101304738?ean=9781935171980

I guess it starts kind of slow, but it definitely gets good. The second one, the Winter Rose was almost better, there were some parts I couldn't put down and literally missed my bus stop since I was so engrossed.

Not so much a love story, but Forever by Pete Hamill is a great historical fiction read.

I just finished this one a few weeks ago and I cried my fucking eyes out!

The Lost Wife; The Baker's Daughter. The Baker's Daughter was my favorite book this year.

Jude Deveraux has a good historical romance series.

Yes! Awesome book.

I loved the Tea Rose series as well. I do think it starts slow (especially the first book), but it gets really good.

Not really a romance but Catherine the great was a great historical fiction read.
