It’s time to share with you our top historical reads from this year. I’m not sure what happened this year but all of us here at TBRG read fewer historicals than we ever have. We will have to fix this in 2014.

Now that we’ve shared ours, you tell us what were some of your top historical romances this year?
I dont really read any historicals. Have read none this year.
Again, from my goodreads page, the last Historical books I gave 5 star ratings to:
No Good Duke Goes Unpunished by Sarah MacLean
The Spinster’s Secret by Emily Larkin
The Wicked Deeds of Daniel Mackenzie by Jennifer Ashley
Tapestry by Karen Ranney – an older title, but new to me.
The Endearment by LaVyrle Spencer – this is my only reread, but I read it before when it came out.
Lord of Wicked Intentions by Lorraine Heath
Sweet Madness by Heather Snow
With This Kiss by Eloisa James
I know this is more than five, but I had to include the Heather Snow and Eloisa James books. 🙂 I do read a lot of Historical romances, but many only got a 4 star rating from me.
I rarely read historicals. I did however re-read some of Lorraine Heath’s older ones – I was in a mood for some v.g. oldies: Sweet Lullaby, Parting Gifts and Always to Remember. I also re-read her Texas Trilogy. I do enjoy reading western historicals.
Lorraine Heath is probably my favorite Historical author. I don’t think I’ve read anything by her that I didn’t rate less than an A.
