The Temporary Wife by Mary Balogh

The Marquess of Staunton cold-bloodedly advertises for a governess for his non-existent children, chooses the plainest and dullest applicant, and offers her marriage. His only motive is to anger his estranged father, who has chosen a different bride for him. After he has presented her to his family, he plans to establish her somewhere with a great deal of money and never see her again. Charity Duncan agrees to the strange bargain because she is desperate for money to help support her brothers and sisters. But when she meets his family and recognizes the pain behind the estrangement, her warm heart cannot remain aloof. And when Staunton realizes that his temporary wife is in fact neither plain nor dull, his cold heart stirs to new life.

The Ideal Wife by Mary Balogh
Just after the Earl of Severn has vowed that if the plainest, dullest, most ordinary female in England were to be set before him he would marry her without further ado, Abigail Gardiner calls on him at his town house. The strong-minded Abigail is a distant cousin of the earl's and has been driven, much against the grain, to seek his aid. To do so, she has decided to dress as plainly as possible and to act the part of a dull brown mouse. The inevitable inevitably happens!

Slightly Dangerous by Mary Balogh
When Lady Renable's brother invites Wulfric Bedwyn, Duke of Bewcastle, to her country house party, she has to scramble to find another lady guest to balance numbers. Christine Derrick, widow and part-time schoolteacher, is persuaded to be that lady. The cold, aloof duke and the fun-loving, accident-prone Christine are about as mismatched as a couple could possibly be, and they dislike each other from the start. But there is a definite attraction between them too, and soon Wulfric, much to his surprise, is in determined pursuit of an elusive Christine.

Indiscreet by Mary Balogh
When Viscount Rawleigh attends a house party in the country, he plans to amuse himself with a beautiful young widow from a nearby village. He refuses to believe she is unwilling until it is too late. For her part, Catherine Winters has been living quietly in the village for several years, trying to keep a secret that could yet destroy her. She dare not give in to her attraction to the viscount. As her world falls apart, Rawleigh has to try to make amends and win her love at the same time, while Catherine has to face up to her past and take a hand in rebuilding her life once more.

The Plumed Bonnet by Mary Balogh
When the Duke of Bridgwater picks up Stephanie Gray in his carriage one day, she is wearing a fuchsia colored cloak and a bright pink, garishly adorned bonnet. He draws his own conclusions about her and listens to her story about being on her way to claim an inheritance with a great deal of amusement. By the time he realizes that she is telling the truth, it is too late--he has compromised her virtue and must marry her.

The Ungrateful Governess by Mary Balogh
When the Earl of Rutherford tries to seduce Jessica Moore in her employer's library one night, she is blamed and loses her job. Rutherford offers her a position as his mistress, but instead Jessica enlists the aid of his own grandmother and sets out to teach him a lesson.

The duke and I-Julia Quinn
Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings, has sworn never to marry. Daphne Bridgerton has sworn to marry only for love. They make a bargain and fake a courtship to keep the ton's matchmakers at bay--but what happens when the charade becomes all too real?

An Offer From a Gentleman-Julia Quinn
When Sophie Beckett decided to sneak into a masquerade ball, she never expected to find Prince Charming.
Benedict Bridgerton didn't believe in love at first sight... until he saw the masked mystery woman. But will she accept his offer before the clock strikes midnight?

Answer 2

Good Historical Romance Books

Answer 3

I also recommend Georgette Heyer. Especially Friday's Child. But you might also enjoy Julia Quinn. She actually wrote a Cinderella-like story with one of her main series. She has an eight-book series following the Bridgerton family in Regency England. That one is called AN OFFER FROM A GENTLEMAN. It was actually the first one I read in the series, but it is #3.

Answer 4

i aslo recommend Julia Quinn, her historical romances are very good. she has a series based on the Bridgerton family - each book follows a different member of the family. she has more novels that arent part of a series and one i recommend is "to catch a heiress".

Pride and Prejudice is a classic.
Devils Bargain by Jade Lee
In the Princes Bed by Sabrina Jeffries

Answer 5

A great historical novel with some romance elements is PIllars of the Earth. It's very readable and quite informative.

Answer 6

My personal favorite is "The Tenacious Miss Tamerlane" by Kasey Michaels. Makes me laugh out loud at the genteel insults, but still a very touching romance.

Answer 7

Georgette Heyer. She wrote a ton of romances, most of them Regency. Also Gaelen Foley's"Knight Miscellany" series.

Answer 8

Brenda Joyce is a wonderful historical romance writer. I love her books. I highly recommend her books.

Answer 9

i might vote for "and that i Kissed Him" ...(or "In Her Eyes") yet for different innovations i might say: -Out of the hurricane/ Stormy Eyes -Like a Thorn -keep in mind the Thunder -Tears and Rain (like the James Blunt song) -Over Our Heads a number of them experience too obscure, so attempt to discover something this might properly be slightly extra specific to your tale. (So that's tricky to return up with innovations, because of the fact i dont know the significant factors) i've got purely kinda executed a brainstorm, so none of my innovations are staggering, yet i wish this facilitates! And sturdy success!
