    Beach Read Recommendations: Historical Romance

    Couple from historical romance novel

    If you haven’t taken my quiz yet to get beach read recommendations tailored just for you, check it out here.

    If your result is Historical Romance…

    When we learn history in school, it’s usually centered around the actions of men–all war and politics. If you want to really learn about what life was like for women in a previous age, you can find that and more in historical romance. Find out more about the clothes, the social standards, the jobs women held, what it was like to live before women’s suffrage and anything else about history that captivates your mind.

    From classic bodice rippers to the more tame, historical romances can transport you to another place or time. You can find books with royalty, pirates and everything in between. Whether you like a historical romance that exists within our understanding of a previous time or like more of a fantasy world, there’s something for everyone.

    Here are some suggestions for historical romance novels you might enjoy:

    The Tuscan Secret by Angela Petch

    This one was inspired by a true story

    The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

    If you loved the movie Midnight in Paris, give this a try

    Where the Lost Wander by Amy Harmon

    The Fortunate Ones by Catherine Hokin

    The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare
