I like to read historical romances. I admit it.
I'm trying to get them from the library, placing holds and such, since there's a very small branch where DS1 has preschool, and the big branch with the good selection is downtown, where I try to avoid going.
Anyone know any authors I should search for? "trashy romance" doesn't come up in searches too well...
I know I like Teresa Medeiros, Julia London, and Eloisa James. But I know there were others, I just can't remember names or titles...
Putting the bag over my head now.

Since one just does not simply walk into Mordor, I say we form a conga line and dance our way in.
Excuse me, are you in a play?

Oooooh! 42 books in the list, and she didn't come up in any searches I did. Thank you Erica!

Kathleen Woodwiss (I think that's the spelling) The Flame and the Flower was pretty good. Actually had an intricate plot. There's a sequel, but I never got around to reading it.

Deanne Gist-a bride most begrudging is my favorite (of the 2 I've read). The other one I read was the measure of a lady

Ah a kindred spirit. I too admit I'm addicted to trashy romance novels. I got into them during pharmacy school as a way to shut my brain down after studying, but I just can't give them up. Anyway, here are some of my favs
Julia Quinn
Sabrina Jeffries
Samantha James
Stephanie Laurens (I've read every single one of her books and liked them all)
Mary Balogh
Jane Feather
Johanna Lindsey
Jo Beverly
Karen Hawkins
Hope that gives you a few to look for. Enjoy!Margaret

I've been addicted since my Mom got me some from the church bazaar, when I was 14. She still doesn't know exactly what she bought me.

Julie Garwood and Judith McNaught (AWESOME). Both of these authors have ventured into contemporary romance but I really love their historical romances. I recently donated a bunch of my books and 95% of the books that I kept were by these two authors.
Also, the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon is fascinating if you've got the time.DD 4/03

Marion Chesney I think she also writes mysteries as M.C. Beaton.
