Whitney, my love…you speak my language! It’s one of my favorites. Judith M. writes beautifully well done stories. Most of hers are great and the quality is superb.

[@slincs2212]

Judith Mcnaught, Julie Garwood and Johanna Lindsey! Love their books 😍😍

[@JudithSanchez-ht6jn]

I agree with Lindsay but my favorites is Kathleen Woodeweiss the Flame 🔥 and the Flower 🌹

[@ricardog.prangan25]

I love Judith Mcnaught! I need to try reading Julie Gardwood and Johanna Lindsey

[@JudithSanchez-ht6jn]

@@ricardog.prangan25 thanks 🙏 Ricardo is time the boys like to read romance I think men doesn’t like to read Romeo and Juliet a classic. A horror 😡🫣🤫aman who commit suicide for his love o💕 Not way.

[@allegraprince94]

It’s so hard to find that Indigo cover I’ve been searching for it forever 🥹😍 it’s beautiful

[@nerdylilheathen]

There's a ton of Lisa Kleypes at my used bookstore I'm going to go back and buy them hahah.

[@rmc169]

You can’t go wrong with her she’s one of the best in my opinion

[@ValerieJacksonBB]

I'm just getting back into historical romance and wanting pre-2000s books so this is literally perfect! Lord of Scoundrels and The Secret are both excellent, and it looks like I need to read more Lisa Kleypas! Also hard agree on 1996 being THE year

[@christinaworley8948]

Yay for Devil’s Bride - my favorite. If you liked that one you should read The Promise in a Kiss which is the love story of Devil’s parents, which is also one of my favorites. Both are so good!

[@LaceyBooklovers]

I loved the promise in a kiss! BUT I can’t deal with the fact that that hero eventually cheats and has a bastard 😭😭

[@autumnrose_noseinabook]

I just came into my historical romance era. I’m currently reading Lord of Scoundrels and almost done but I already know it’s going to be a 5 star for me because I was hooked from the prologue! I really hope to find the first edition paperback sometime. I’m having fun collecting old school HRs and I’m totally adding some of these to my wish list!

[@meghanj28]

Dreaming of You is my all-time favorite romance novel ❤ Discovering Lisa Kleypas got me through 2020!

[@LaceyBooklovers]

Lisa Kleypas is truly the BEST 😍

[@midnightblack07]

Yay for more historical romance content! So many of these books are classics for good reason indeed. Lord of Scoundrels, Almost Heaven by Judith McNaught, and Dreaming of You are probably my favorite old-school historical romances. 👌

[@LaceyBooklovers]

I’ll eventually get to Almost Heaven! I recently read Paradise but now I’m craving a historical from JM

[@RenHRbooklover]

Dreaming of you is still my favorite 💕 such a classic as you said and everyone talks about Derek (for good reason), but Sara is my fav heroine.

[@RenHRbooklover]

That book collecting era was so fun! 😂 I always loved watching the hauls of what books you guys bought.

[@LaceyBooklovers]

And expensive 😂 it was such a fun era!

[@dawnstrickland3424]

I love The Secret and Lord of Scoundrels! I need to read Dreaming of You.

[@IreneTerenteva]

Whitney, my love.. oh my God! My favourite book of all time! Have read all the books by Judith Mcnaught❤

[@hellund2874]

I read Whitney, My Love after watching your recommendation and came back to say: Absolutely YES! Thank you!!

[@shariidriggins3686]

I loved this video. It’s timeless. Keep doing what you do. You are one of my favorites along with you buddy PLB-Jessica ❤

[@BklynBabe]

My favorites were Bertrice Small, Rebecca Brandewyne, Kathleen Woodiwiss, Rosemary Rogers, and Johanna Lindsey.

[@pennyhanks5303]

Rebecca Brandewyne's "Outlaw Hearts" is one of my favorite books! I think she's so underrated.

[@taniaschmalz465]

Thank you for this video! I’m wanting to start reading some historical romances. I’m going to go see if I can find any of these at the used bookstore!

[@Jay-dz1qy]

I can't wait to read these! Thank you ❤

[@loonyleon9860]

omg i just read suddenly you by lisa kleypas and i adored it so much. i definitely need to read more books by her.

[@grissellehalime500]

Lacey- THANK YOU!!! You are my go to girl for books and historical romances. I love your recommendations. Anytime I am looking for a new book, I always come to your page to get new ideas and suggestions. I love Lisa Kleypas and Justin Mcnaught. Her stories and characters live in my life forever. I really want Judith Mcnaught to re-do and expand her book Miracles and give Nikki and Julianna the story they deserve.

[@LaceyBooklovers]

This makes me so happy to hear!! Thank you 🥰 Lisa Kleypas and Judith McNaught are queens of historical romance!

[@lamonarenee9847]

Judith McNaught and Jude Devereaux some of my favorite historical romance authors! if you haven't read bertrice smalls books...shes so good too

[@mysteriesoflife540]

I've read skye malley

[@koolpark]

Missing 2 of my fav all-time books, Sweet Savage Love by Rosemary Rogers and Forever My Love by Penelope Neri. I have read both several times over the years and it doesn't get any better, trust me. Happy reading!

[@maryannbrandon-qy8dy]

I love Julie Garwood too. The Wedding, and The Gift. Lisa Kleypas and the seasons of the year also Friday Harbor series .

[@pennyhanks5303]

I love Judith McNaught (her contemporary books too), Lisa Kleypas (it's been too long since we had a new book from Lisa), Sarah MacLean and I've love reading Johanna Lindsey. But some of my favorite historical books are, "Night In Eden" by Candice Proctor and "The Passions of Emma" and "Heart of the West" by Penelope Williamson.

[@biteyfloofmomma7279]

I used to read all of Cassie Edwards and Norah Hess books. I loved them! ❤️

[@debramartin1583]

I agree with all your picks! Annie's Song was wonderful.

[@zainabsyedahmed5194]

I love the Brenda Joyce series esp the Westmoreland Dynasty & then the Bragg dynasty. the Francesca Cahill series is awesome too❤❤❤ You should honestly read those historical romances as well. But yes, Whitey my love, I cried so much, my heart pained like never before ! I read it over 3 times now it is still my fav! And thanks a ton to introduce me to lisa K, I read all your recommendations on it. Loved & cried so very much!

[@Tracywhited2]

[@lisabrijeski3425]

Catherine Coulters Sherbrooke Bride series is one of my favs, Candace Camp Willowmere series and so many more of hers, Mary Balough Bedwyn series and so many more of hers as well! And Annie’s Song by Catherine Anderson Love Jude Garwood books as well Johanna Lindsey,Jude Deveraux, Bree Wolf, Lindsay Sands highland series amazing, and Lisa Kleypas as well just so many that are amazing Kathleen Harrington Dream Seekers series, so hard to find these but they are amazing Just wish more historical authors would release their books in the larger size then the mass market because they are hard to hold and as I get older I can’t read them printing is to small. So as a result Idont buy them anymore and my reading of of historical has gone down so much.

[@LaceyBooklovers]

I still need to read Catherine Coulters! And that’s so true about mass markets. I don’t like reading them either, I just stick to ebooks now

[@natashaalva8863]

The Ravenels, Wallflowers, Hathaways and Gamblers of Craven's are my favorite historical romance series from Lisa Kleypas. Reading Dreaming of You is definitely a worth read.

[@afrokitty4054]

Patricia Vaughn’s historical romantic books A Murmur of Rain and A Shadow on the Bayou are awesome . ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mariewhyte4953]

Lord of scoundrels is one of my favourites. The dialogue is excellent!

[@AJ-mz9ie]

Yes the heroine is a badass. And I loved the ending.

[@ridsasim4685]

Do a favorite all the time Historical romances!! And new favorite historical romances!

[@lydiavasquez1844]

Loretta chase lord of scoundrel was hilarious 😆 and sexy. I also read don’t temp me by Loretta chase was also excellent funny, steamy, loved the characters. Judith Mcnaught ❤️ you introduced me to Loretta chase so 🙏

[@JudithSanchez-ht6jn]

I started reading thr wolf and the Dove Shanna the flame 🔥 and the flower 🌹

[@afrokitty4054]

There is a really great historical romance book that I love because it’s interracial; “White Trash” by George McNeill . It’s a classic and can be hard to find. During the Pandemic I found two copies online and bought them. 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathaleenrossi9577]

Fortunes Bride by Roberta Gellis, the heroine is shipwrecked on the Spanish shore during the Napoleonic war and is rescued by a British officer. She travels with the army as his wife so he can keep her safe. One of the reasons I liked this book is she is not pretty but he falls in love with her saying sometimes when he looks at her she's very plain and sometimes she is the most beautiful woman in the world.

[@sandrenesmith1314]

I love lisa kleypas got almost all . Johanna lindsey too

[@princessjoy007]

Beverly Jenkins will always have a place in my library

[@LaceyBooklovers]

Mine too! I have all her historical romances in hardcover now!

[@taylorburks6835]

[@zinhlemahlangu1473]

Judith McNaught is such a classic!

[@papiyadey5144]

Loved the video❤

[@JudithSanchez-ht6jn]

Where I can find those books I own the last print but I will like to get the old ones .

[@nicholethereadingmomma9050]

Beverly Jenkins is my favorite author it's such a shame my local library has none of her books 😢

[@LaceyBooklovers]

Aww that’s unfortunate. Maybe you can try requesting them? I’ve been able to request her audios to my library!

[@nicholethereadingmomma9050]

@@LaceyBooklovers no need I just discovered hoopla I'm in audiobook heaven

[@kikik5266]

I loved some of these books. Lol I graduated HS in 96. I'm feeling kinda old here. I love that you're embracing some of the older but very good historical romance. That being said maybe you can help me. I'm looking for an older Scottish Historical romance I can't recall the title or author just the beginning of the story and the cover. But she is given a property in Scotland (I think by the king) and the old Laird is now a wanted man. But he parents to be a servant who was struck so hard he now has the mind of a child. And he uses her concern for him to kinda trick her into marriage somehow so he can regain his land. but the sciences when she thinks he has brain damage are kinda hilarious because he totally uses it to come on to her and be inappropriate and she thinks he just doesn't know any better and tries to teach him. Lol if you know it's name and author I'd be so happy. Some.on your list are forgotten favorites.

[@vrindakedia1859]

We have 6 books in common 😀

[@liasonpureluv]

Count me in as one who loooooves Annie's Song. He took her out of a toxic environment and gave her freedom and choices. I wanted her out of that house so bad! Her parents were awful.

[@laura754jill]

Devil’s Bride is 💯❤️

[@JudithSanchez-ht6jn]

A question the new prints books are the same stories or they made some changes.

[@LaceyBooklovers]

Most have the same stories! Only the Judith McNaught one has some small changes

[@shirleynelson9301]

Judith McNaught is great!

[@monejade8589]

My grandmother's historical romance ruined me at 13 😅
