I'm out of Lisa Kleypas Books! What should I read Next??? Showing 901-950 of 1,011

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Great question, Linds!! I hope there'll be some.

[Lisa Kay]

Carla Capshaw has a Love Inspired series. I haven't read them, but looks like Lady D liked them.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Love Inspired... those are Christian romances, right?

[Lisa Kay]

Mostly. Mainly. Some are "spiritual" and not too preachy.

[Linds]

Thank you! I was looking at Carla Capshaw and her books were attached to this list of Roman Romances and have some good places to start:
http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/16...

I noticed that the books on the list were almost all written in the last year or two. I guess I'm not the only one that watched Spartacus and it left me wanting more gladiator romance! :)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

I can definitely vouch for The Gladiator. It was a wonderful book.

[Malika]

Her older, medieval books are a bit slow.
I agree with Lady Danielle, Dodd is an old favourite of mine i absolutely love her books, especially most of her contemporary ones.
There's one that's particularly stuck with me... Cant remember the name atm but the h tells the H in the courtroom where hes suing her great aunts for robbing his banks that shes gonna marry a rich old man with one leg on the coffin and the other on a banana peel... The H expression was priceless! I loved it.. He was deeply in love with her by then but he thought she betrayed him by keeping her aunts activities a secret.

[Joeera]

I just found to authors that love one is

Anne Mallllory

I love this series mind you i have read the 2 and 3rd books only so far and i loved them





Emma Wildes

i loved



and just bought

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

I have the Anne Mallory books. Heard good things about her.

[Joeera]

My favorite one is



i love the hero he reminds me of Derek Craven from

[Lisa Kay]

Really, Joeera? Hmmm... maybe I'll look closer at that one. Wanted to read #1 in the series first.

[Joeera]

The reason i read the 2 one first is because i got that one first and i couldn't Waite to read it. Here is a question i would like to ask. Do you have to read most series in order because for me usually i end up getting the 3 book of the series it's rare that i get the first book in the series. It as happen when i get the 1 book of the series and then the next book i would get would be the 3rd and up.
for example



I loved this book the. The other book i have in this series is

can i read this book or do i have to read them in order.

I also have



I loved this book i was laughing half of the time when i was reading it how are the other two books in this series i don't have them . I also have

hmm definitely bumping the book up on TBR list!

[MashJ]

Ok , I am looking for a book that I read the trailer for but forgot to add to my to read list.

It is a contemporary romance based in the USA. I think maybe on a ranch? The heroine has remarried following the missing in action, presumed dead of the husband in maybe Iraq? He now turns up to find her remarried.

Anyone know which ine this is? I'll go and look at some listopia too.

Joeera, those two can be read as standalones. The one perfect rose is only peripheral to the fallen angels series and even the fallen angels could be read separately.

[MashJ]

Thank you for the Anne Mallory recommendations. Read two of them now, very good, a little darker ( which I like).

[Kathy]

Yay~ So lucky i found this thread! Kleypas' books are so smooth that you can't put them down! Although i have read some of her contemporary based novels (which are great) I'd much rather her historical ones. And yes, like a lot of you here, i've read all of them, re-read my two favourites and I need more HISTORICAL ROMANCE. I did read the first few of the Bridgerton series (Julia Quinn), their very sweet but toward the last few siblings which we knew least about, i lost interest. Both Lisa and Julia are equally good writers- though i would read Kleypas over Quinn purely out of favoritism. Recently, i've also started Tracy Anne Warren's Byron's of Braebourne which, in some aspects are similar to Kleypas in its humour and writing style. My only criticisms with Warren so far, is that her heroines attributes (eyes,hair colour) can be repetitive. Not that this is bad, but it would be nice if each heroine had their own distinctive features. Also the pacing in her novel- for me- sometimes drags which puts me near the brink of putting it down for a while. But if you have run out of Kleypas, Warren may well be your next choice.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

I agree that Julia Quinn is a good writer, but she just doesn't grab me like some of my favorite HR writers. I have several of her books that I own but haven't felt the urge to read. I do have Tracy Anne Warren in my to read list and hopefully I will give her a try soon.

[MashJ]

Very mixed about Tracy Anne Warren myself. It's not all bad but historical accuracy is horrible.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Who else would you have on your wallpaper historical list, Mshj?

[MashJ]

Cannot stand Stephanie Laurens actually. The writing is ok but the plots and characters suck.

Tessa Dare is also a fail here and Gaeleen Foley I just cannot read. Her syntax is just incomprehensible to me. Apologies to any fans. I'm sure some of my go to authors are ones you can't stand.

[Kathy]

Actually, I forgot to mention Christina Dodd, I apologize if people have already mentioned her, but i thought that if anyone really needed another historical romance author they could try Dodd. She was the first Historical Romance author I ever read and she was my favourite until I found Kleypas shortly after haha. I can say for sure that their writing styles are nothing similar and that Dodd, for me, has some books I enjoy and others I can't read with much enthusiasm but you can give her a try since every author appeals to different tastes :)

[Lisarenee]

Has anyone read any books by the following authors?
- S.C.Stephens
- Krysten Ashley
- Sarah Fawkes
- Jennifer Probst

If so, what did you think? Someone recommended them, but I've never heard of them before so I'm curious.

[Lisa Kay]

I read Sweet Dreams, by Kristen Ashley and quite liked it. It isn't very well edited, but it is a compelling read. Read it twice; the last as a "buddy read" in NBRC. I haven't ready any of the others.

[Lisarenee]

Maybe that was why I couldn't find her. I had the spelling wrong. Thanks Lisa.

[Silvana~Duchess of Avonlea~]

Here are my top picks after Kleypas.

[Joeera]

I'am thinking about reading


is it any good.

I haven't read Tessa Dare yet. Gaelen Foley is not a favorite of mine, but I loved Princess by her.

I really like her books. One of my favorites.

I loved and still love it. It's one of my all time favorite books and Mary Jo Putney is one of my Top 5 favorite authors. It's a really great book. It is, btw, the first of her's that I read and I've not stopped reading her work yet.

[Marilyn]

Totally agree with you on all three authors. Not for me.

That saying - 'One man's meat is another man's poison' must be true! I love Tessa Dare, particularly her new Spindle Cove series. A Week to Be Wicked is one of all time favourite books. I love Gaelen Foley's Knight Miscellany series and The Duke is another of my all time favourites. I have to say I have been very disappointed in her later books.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

It's so true that we all have different tastes (except I think we all agree on Lisa Kleypas). Christina Dodd doesn't get much press, but she's definitely one of my faves. Same for Connie Brockway. And Anne Stuart, definitely.

[Meredith Barrons]

Okay ladies, so I am not out of Lisa Kleypas books yet, but I finished The Hathaways, The Travis's and The Wallflowers! I loved them all so much and I am not sure which of her books to start next! Friday Harbor? Suggestions???

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Hi Meredith. I enjoyed Christmas at Friday Harbor, so why not?

[Joeera]

Hee are some of my picks after Kleypas

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Oh that series by Eve Byron is awesome, Joeera.

I love Anne Stuart as well.

I plan to read the others you listed.

Thank you guys for recommending eyes of silver eyes of gold. I have just read all of Ellen O'Connells books to date in the historical westerns and they were just great. Her fourth book will be out in the autumn.

[Autumn]

I begun reading Courtney Milan,and love her books. She is my runner up after Lisa K.

Autumn, I totally agree with you about Courtney Milan. I've only read two of her books but she's already on my list of auto-buy authors.

[Lisa Kay]

Oh, yes. I like Courtney Milan a lot. I'm glad some of her books have gone to audio. I just listened to and bought (but haven't listened to) .

[Autumn]

Ohh Lisa!! I really liked and but I LOVED There is something with me and mentally messed up characters.. lol!! Smite is awesome, and Miranda is perhaps one my favorite historical heroines. The book was great in my opinion. Would love to read your thoughts.

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

I loved and just started Just adore Mark and Jessica together.

[Lisa Kay]

I need another "U" to spell August. Hmmmm... I really should start another book. Still...

[Autumn]

Carol wrote: "I loved and just started Just adore Mark and Jessica together."

I enjoy the characters from Milan`s books,but if I were being picky,then Jessica would perhaps be my least favorite from the Turner series. She is clever, and witty (both required to make a good heroine in my book) but towards the end she starts acting all dignified, taking classic approach: **sings Celine Dion "All BY Myself" song**, LOL. It just didn`t swing with me. But overall the book was really good though. Smite and Ash are capital letter GREAT!! and Miranda just kicks butt being so genuine.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Oh Courtney is great. She is one of the newer HR authors I am really excited about!

[MashJ]

I tried one of Courtney milan's book yesterday and loved it. Unravelled. It was fun that it was about Bristol which is a city I often work in. I am ambiguous about American authors writing about England as often a lot of the historical details are wrong ( I mean, just imagine georgette heyer writing about the American west!). However in this case it was very interesting. I'd like to read the others in that series but they aren't on kindle and my oh has asked me to limit my physical books purchases.

Thanks for the recommendation.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

I had a feeling you'd enjoy Courtney Milan, Mshj!
