Best Georgian & Regency Romances


I have read many Georgian and Regency romances over the years, so it was inevitable that I should have a “best list” to include them. 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.

    1. Dear Anonymous, I have read several by Heyer and loved them but they were not Regencies. However, The Grand Sophy is on my list to read. I just didn't get to it last month. I'll be reading it during my "catch up" months, Nov. and Dec. Thanks!
