New Favorite Historical Romances (2020-2021)

New Favorite Historical Romances (2020-2021)
A list of all the new shining stars of the genre.

PS: I'm an avid reader of HR novels but my initial list of favorites was getting too long so I simply divided it in 2. There's one list for the well-known classics & one for the upcoming shakers.  This here is obviously the latter. On that note, happy reading :)

Rating:   ❤️❤️❤️ To-die-for             ❤️❤️ Greatly entertaining                     ❤️ Enjoyable

❤️❤️❤️ I'm just in love with this novel. It took me such a long time to read  it in spite of the very good reviews cos let's be honest...have you seen this cringey title? It led me to believe this would a romancey-romance and it was XD Just not the usual, overworked and cheesy type but an epic one (in it's literal sense).... more>>

❤️❤️❤️...Darn, been a while since my cold heart felt so stirred up. This author always shines for their unconventional MC & ML: if you've read "Heroine saves a Gentleman" or "Let the Villain go" you'll know what I mean and this one was no exception, in the best way possible. ... more>>

❤️❤️Transmigration novel. More geared towards fluff & fun with an arrogant yet straight-forward & no-nonsense MC. The secondary characters are just as emotionally complex and the scheming & face-slapping are both vicious and satisfying. I am thoroughly entertained as of chap.84! Bravo!... more>>

❤️❤️Rebirth story. Quite an enjoyable and down-to-earth read with interesting characters. No revenge here, but an MC who wishes to strive for a better life this time around.
