I have read many Georgian and Regency romances over the years, and as an author, I've written 11, so it was inevitable that I should have a “best list” for the ones I've rated 4 and 5 stars. The Georgian era covers the period from 1714 to 1830, with the sub-period of the Regency, 1811-1820, when George, Prince of Wales (“the Prince Regent”) reigned during the mental illness of his father George III. All these stories are set in that era. See the list:
The Lord of the Isles were the great sea lords, the legendary rulers of the waves, commanding the seas of the Hebrides and the Western Highlands in their swift galleys for four hundred years. Their roots were in ancient Ireland with its high kings, in the Isles where the Norse settled, and in ancient Dalriada, the Kingdom of the Gaels. They ruled what was essentially a realm separate from the rest of Scotland. Read the full post at Historical Romance Review >
Who doesn’t love a good pirate or privateer story? All that capturing, swashbuckling and romancing on the high seas—oh yes! Gets my blood boiling just thinking about it. Some of these do not have pirates as such, but may have a swashbuckling sea captain or a privateer. In almost every case, part of the story takes place on the high seas. See my list of those rated 4 or 5 stars HERE.
