Best Romance Trilogies: Superb Talent in Threes!


It takes talent to write a great romance novel, but it takes even more to write three in a row and make them all worthy reads. Of course, I recognize this omits some wonderful single novels and some great multibook series, and almost all of those on my list are historicals, but if you like to read trilogies, as I do, here’s my list of the top trilogies I recommend:

1. Heather Graham’s North American Woman trilogy: SWEET SAVAGE EDEN, A PIRATE'S PLEASURE and LOVE NOT A REBEL

    1. Renee, since I'm in the middle of writing the second in my Regency period trilogy, I have a special regard for authors who can write three related books and do it well...your Emerald Isle trilogy is one of the best!
