Great video, got a bunch of books added to my list 🥰
I got started through the cheap books you get on apples book app. I really liked Rose Gordon – scandalous sisters series ( that continues on to the grooms series.) I really enjoyed those and from them got into Lisa Kleypas.

Lisa Kleypas is my fave. I love all of her books, but Dreaming of You is my all-time favorite of hers. Wallflowers is her best series. I also love some of Miranda Neville's books. The Dangerous Viscount is one of my favorites. Some of Mary Balogh's stuff is really good, but she is hit or miss; much lower on the steam quotient too.

Great video! My fave Regency Romance author is Loretta Chase. My favourite series by her is the Dressmaker series, but if course that's set in the 1830s, not Regency, lol.

Why is Heyer never ANYWHERE? She MADE the Regency Romance genre, and…. She's never noticed. Probably because she uses a vocabulary above that of a highschool student, knows what dialouge is, researches and doesn't write porn. Stephen Fry loves her for heavens sake! This wasn't meant to be a criticism, it just makes me sad to see perhaps, at the very least, one of the best technical writers (if only to judge on actual writing ability/subtlety) being kinda ignored.

You should absolutely try out Georgette Heyer for a writer who captures the right period detail and tone. She also essentially invented the genre as it now exists. Definitely try 'Frederica' or 'The Corinthian' to get a taster. You could also try Cat Sebastian, Rose Lerner or K J Charles for more diverse regency romances. Thanks for the recs! 🙂

The Wallflowers, Hathaways and Ravenels are actually situated in the Victorian era. But "The Gamblers of Craven's and the Bow Street Runners" are sort of Regency Romance

Awesome recommendations! Historical romance is my favorite genre, and Lisa Kleypas is probably my favorite author.
Another author you may like if you enjoy historical fiction is Evie Dunmore. She writes Victorian romances that are centered upon the women's suffrage movement in the 1870s-1880s, and she really integrates the history and realities of the era into her stories. Mimi Matthew is another author who writes both Victorian and Regency romances that I feel would really appeal to lovers of historical fiction. 🙂
