Best Historical Romance Trilogies: Superb Talent in Threes!

It takes talent to write a great historical 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 titles and some great multibook series, but if you like to read trilogies, as I do, here’s my list of the top ones I recommend--and the list is not in any particular order, but all are rated 4, 4 and 1/2 or 5 stars:
