Great books other than Outlander



You might also like "The Earth Children" series by Jean M. Auel. The first one 'The Clan of the Cave Bear' was made into a terrible movie several years ago, but I've read the whole series and it's really pretty good. Some intense sexual scenes, so absolutely not for children. It's so hard finding a book after reading the Outlander series. I measure all other books by those. They are truly five star material. ;)





I've read them all two or three times at least, and I can't wait for the next one to come out.






Remember it isn't whats on the outside, it's whats on the inside that counts.
Pamela Clair is very well written. And I wouldn't consider the Sex any worse than in Outlander. If that would concern you.


But, on the other hand, I don't like covers that uses scenes from movies (when the book came BEFORE the movie!). I'll actually buy a different edition to avoid a "movie scene" cover! lol

Thanks for the rcommendation I have never heard of her or her books!!!

Isn't it funny what attracts us? I'm not really into red heads, because I'm a red head. But the Idea of Jaimie is so hot I might convert.


Into the Wilderness is book one of a series by her that our "Claire" makes a cameo appearance in.

I've really enjoyed them. they aren't on the same scale as Outlander by any means. But there is something about men with an Accent that gets me.

I'll checkout the Linda Lael Miller books. Any chance they are in audiobook format too?

Haven't read Anna Campbell. I'll look for her next tiome I go to the book store.



A good series that takes place in the Victorian era is Deanna Raybourn's Lady Julia Grey series. My last book was her latest, Silent On The Moor, and although I hated the new covers for these books, I thoroughly enjoyed the contents. The first two in the series are Silent In The Grave and Silent in the Sanctuary. Hopefully, you can still find those two in the original covers. Great mystery and romance.



LOL, Ruth. I love Emma's description of the covers.


Yes, Heidi, I just finished the 3rd book. I really enjoyed it, as I'm a sucker for a moor setting. I, also, was glad to see some resolution to Julia's and Brisbane's relationship. However, I probably would choose the 2nd, Silent in the Sanctuary the best of the 3.



Another series that is loosely (very loosely) similar is the "Poldark" saga by Winston Graham. It is old (I started reading in high school, a long time ago!) It is about a Cornish soldier returned from the American Revolution ,who finds his love married to his cousin, he somewhat reluctantly marries someone else...I'll bet you know what happens! Of course, there is no time travel aspect & it is nowhere as racy as Outlander, but is very good.




You might enjoy the "Poldark" series, then!

Heather in the "Next Book" conversation asked:
Has anyone found another author/book that is similar to Diana Gabaldon's Outlander? Historical fiction/romance...not necessarily time travel? I need something to fill the time until the next book arrives.
I'd love to know this as well, so I opened it up as a new discussion. So here's my 2 cents. It's not quite the same style, but I really enjoy the Study Series by Maria V. Snyder. The series begins with Poison Study, Magic Study, then Fire Study.
