What are some good historical fiction/romance novels?

like the novel series, "The Wallflowers" by Lisa Kleypas, "Pride %26amp; Prejudice" by Jane Austen, and "A Summer to Remember" by Mary Balogh. I'd like to read more romance novels in the historical fiction genre for the summer. Suggestions?What are some good historical fiction/romance novels?
If you like Lisa Kleypas, you should read the rest of her Wallflowers series. She also has quite an extensive booklist. Check her website at http://www.lisakleypas.com



Christina Dodd has The Lost Princesses series, The Switching Places series, The Governess Brides series, The Princess series and the Well Pleasured series. Of her single titles my favorite is That Scandalous Evening. Her website is http://www.christinadodd.com



Last but not least, Julia Quinn. All of her books are good reads. Her website is http://www.juliaquinn.com



The three authors write in similar styles and I am almost 100% certain that if you like Kleypas, you'll like the other two.
I have yet to read Pride and Prejustice but in my opinion, the Other Boyeln Girl by Philippa Gregory was amazing.What are some good historical fiction/romance novels?

Also try "The Summer of My German Soldier" and "The Scarlet Letter." I'm not sure if they're what you're looking for, and I'll admit it's been a while since I've read either, but they're worth a shot. Maybe go on barnesandnoble.com and read some of the reviews and descriptions.

"In the Shadow of the Sun King" by Golden Keyes Parsons. It's about a Huguenot woman who is the former lover of King Louis XIV (a Catholic). The story is fictional, but the history is accurate. It's the first in a series of books. I haven't read it, but my friend has. She loved it and I trust her judgement.
