The Favorite Historical Romances of Some of my Favorite Authors

Ever wonder what historical romances your favorite authors are reading…or which ones are their favorites? Well, here are the top five favorite historical romance reads of some of my favorite historical romance authors—as they confided them to me. I’ve given you their websites, too, so you can check out their own books. Interestingly, you’ll see they have some favorite reads in common. Many are on my best lists (the rest may soon be!).

Later this week, I’ll be posting my current top favorites in two installments, for my all-time Top 20 Historical Romances. You’ll have the chance to give me your favorite(s) for a chance to win one of my novels—so check back!
