I recently read some of Janette Oke's romantic pioneer novels and loved them. I was wondering if anyone had some good romantic historical fiction they could reccomend to me?

There are two series that you might enjoy, though both are very long.

The first is The House of Winslow series by Gilbert Morris. It begins around the 1600s and the books go all the way to today, following the Winslow family. A few of the titles are The Honorable Imposter; The Captive Bride; The Indentured Heart; The Gentle Rebel; The Saintly Buccaneer; The Holy Warrior; The Reluctant Bridegroom and many others.

The other is The Brides of Montclair series by Jane Peart, which starts in the 1700s and follows the family to the present time. Some of the titles in this series include: The Valiant Bride; The Ransomed Bride; Fortune's Bride; Folly's Bride; Yankee Bride/Rebel Bride; Shadow Bride; Destiny's Bride; Jubilee Bride and many others.

Both are really excellent series.

If you enjoyed Janette Oke's stories, you may also enjoy Eugenia Price. Her novels generally center around the time of the Civil War and in the South. For instance, she has the Savannah series which includes: Savannah; To See Your Face Again; Before the Darkness Falls and Stranger in Savannah.

Perhaps you would like June Masters Bacher's Seasons of Love and My Heart's Desire.

A good historical fiction series set in England is The Gresham Chronicles by Lawanna Blackwell (The Widow of Larkspur; The Courtship of the Vicar's Daughter; The Dowry of Miss Lydia Clark).

You may also like the many books of Grace Livingston Hill or George MacDonald. They are excellent. There is also Christy by Catherine Marshall (or her novel Julie).

Try Phillipa Gregory. She writes a lot of books about the Golden Age, medieval period, etc. I really liked The Other Boleyn Girl.
