35 thoughts on “The Complete Reading List by Author

  1. Jorry March 21, 2015 at 5:34 pm Reply

    I’m surprised Sheila Simonson isn’t on your list. I agree that Milan is very good. She writes novels which are brilliantly plotted and fanatically researched and which happen to be Victorian romances, though written in modern English and with the explicit sex which seems to be obligatory these days. But when I read Simonson I’m IN the Regency. The first Regency I ever read was one that I pulled out of a used-book box three years ago and it’s still the best one I’ve ever read — Simonson’s Lady Elizabeth’s Comet, which she wrote back in the 1980’s. It’s an ebook, along with other Simonson books, at Uncial Press and in paperback at ebay and other online booksellers.

    • Prolixity Julien March 21, 2015 at 8:14 pm Reply

      THANK YOU! As I say in so many of my reviews, I am always looking for new authors. I will give Simonson a try.

  2. Sarah April 6, 2015 at 6:23 pm Reply

    I’m wondering if anywhere in this list is someone with a writing style similar to Julie Anne Long? She’s absolutely my favorite. Her wit slays me, and I really enjoy the – this is going to sound crazy – lack of plot in her novels. I don’t like when there’s too much extraneous secondary plot stuff going on (murder plots or double lives or what have you), and I find a lot of other authors try to jam that stuff in to the detriment of the novel as a whole. Any suggestions?

  3. Prolixity Julien April 6, 2015 at 7:45 pm Reply

    I know how you feel. I don’t like a lot of secondary plot either, especially spies or murder plots, it’s why I really like novellas – they strip everything else away. I note novellas on the list above. Courtney Milan has a couple of good ones (one classic A Kiss for Midwinter and I love Tessa Dare’s The Scandalous, Dissolute, No-Good Mr. Wright is great, light, and fun.

    Have you tried Julia Quinn? Her Bridgerton books will keep you going for a while. She is a deft and witty writer.

    Lisa Kleypas isn’t long on intrigues as a rule either and she has a HUGE back catalogue.

    Meredith Duran writes character driven romance, if that interests you, but she’s not has witty as Long, but then who is?

    I always recommend Courtney Milan simply because she is the best writer in the business, better overall than Long, but not as funny, but not unfunny either.

    Avoid Sherry Thomas. She is really serious.

    If you like contemporary romances, Laura Florand writes straight forward escapist love stories very well that are very entertaining.

    There are links for Milan, Long, Quinn, Dare, Kleypas, and Florand’s catalogues on right above.

    Lovely, thank you! And thank you so much for your lists and reviews, you’ve probably saved me and others from countless hours wading through horrible writing to find the really good stuff

    Your comment has made my day. Please let me know how you make out or if you discover a new author.

  6. The Reading Chick December 29, 2015 at 12:22 pm Reply

    I really like your List there is so many brilliant author’s on it, but I am very surprised that Gaelen Foley isn’t there. Still really good though!

  7. Prolixity Julien December 30, 2015 at 1:07 pm Reply

    I have read her and found this on another of my lists which is apparently the sum total of my opinion: Gaelen Foley – She used the word “orifice” in a love scene.

    Have you read other novels by Stephanie Laurens?

    • Prolixity Julien January 17, 2017 at 11:52 am Reply

      No, I read a bunch of her stuff when my obsession started in 2012 but I didn’t like the over-the-top 30 page love scenes. I may revisit her if you can suggest one or two great ones. I’m pretty sure I read one with a Lady Danbury crossover from Julia Quinn.

  11. Mallory January 23, 2017 at 2:14 am Reply

    Of all these novels, which one/s are your ULTIMATE favorite?

  12. Prolixity Julien January 23, 2017 at 9:25 am Reply

    I love your questions. I guess I need to add my personal top 5 to my recommendations list, but let me go with a quick answer not in order of The Chocolate Touch by Laura Florand, A Kiss for Midwinter by Courtney Milan, The Game Plan by Kristen Callihan for a start, but there are more and the longer I look at my list the more I want to add. I think those first two might be unassailable.

  13. Mallory January 23, 2017 at 10:30 am Reply

    I read A Kiss for Midwinter because it was on your CLASSIC list and you mention it several times in this website. And it’s the best novella I’ve read so far.

    • Prolixity Julien January 23, 2017 at 10:44 am Reply

      I LOVE it so much. I have a novella recommendations list as well. I think Sarina Bowen’s Blonde Date is a classic as well.

  14. Mallory January 24, 2017 at 6:50 pm Reply

    I’ll read “Blonde Date”. Did you read the Bridgerton and Bedwyn series in order? Because I want to read the best ones from each series first ( Romancing Mr. Bridgerton and Slightly Dangerous) but I don’t know if that’s a good idea.

  15. Prolixity Julien January 24, 2017 at 7:50 pm Reply

    I’ve only read 1 1/2 of the other Bedwyn books and don’t feel a burning need to go back to them. Slightly Dangerous is the only one I’ve seen praised highly.

    I read the Bridgertons out of order starting with Benedict’s then Colin’s book. They’re in order on my Quinn page if you want to see how they go. I think I went 3, 4, 1, 2, 6, 5, 7, 8. Skip Francesca’s book, When He Was Wicked, it’s terrible.

    If you like Blind Date see if you can get the Ivy Years as a set, it will be cheaper. In that group you want to skip The Fifteenth Minute.

  16. Mallory January 24, 2017 at 8:34 pm Reply

    Thank you for these recommendations. I’ll start reading “Blonde Date” this weekend.

    I love reading humorous and witty romance novels, do you have some recommendations for that category as well?

    • Prolixity Julien January 24, 2017 at 9:36 pm Reply

      Julia Quinn is witty and Julie Anne Long is clever and funny.

  17. Mallory January 28, 2017 at 11:45 pm Reply

    Have you read any novel by Sylvia Day?

    • Prolixity Julien January 28, 2017 at 11:56 pm Reply

      I haven’t. Is there a particular one you recommend?

  18. Mallory January 29, 2017 at 12:17 am Reply

    Yes, I have plenty 😆 The Crossfire series (contemporary), “Bared to You” is the first book. She also writes historical novels, I love her Georgian series- “Passion for the Game” is, in my opinion, the best of the series. She also writes novellas, “Lucien’s Gamble” is very lovely. For stand alone, “Seven Years to Sin” and “The Stranger I Married” (secondary plot is really lovely) are very good. Sylvia was my first historical romance author so her novels are dear to me. Her works are really intense, HOT.

  19. Mallory March 18, 2017 at 3:53 am Reply

    Mrs. Julien, have you read any new novels lately that you can add to this list?

    • Prolixity Julien March 18, 2017 at 12:40 pm Reply

      Yes, but not a lot. The newest entries are easier to find on the Shameful Tally pinned post below.

  20. Mallory May 11, 2017 at 2:57 am Reply

    Mrs. Juliene, have you read the other Mariana Zapata novels?

    • Prolixity Julien May 11, 2017 at 3:32 pm Reply

      One of my friends has but I believe she said this was the one most worth reading.

  21. dona June 12, 2017 at 4:09 am Reply

    Mrs. Julien,
    I wonder why in your list of authors Brenda Joyce is not present.
    I think that some of her historical novels are very good.

  22. Mallory July 1, 2017 at 12:52 am Reply

    Mrs. Julien, have you read “See Jane Score” by Rachel Gibson?

    • Prolixity Julien July 13, 2017 at 2:26 pm Reply

      No, but I’m looking for a sample based on your mention.

      • Mallory September 1, 2017 at 5:46 pm

        Hello, Have you read “The Wall of Winnipeg and Me” by Mariana Zapata?

      • Prolixity Julien September 2, 2017 at 12:42 pm

        No, as I recall my fellow kissing book afficianados said it was a slog; however I did read and really like Zapata’s Wait For It.

  23. Mallory April 8, 2018 at 3:38 am Reply

    Hello,

    Are you going to post your review of “The Wall of Winnipeg and Me”?

    • Prolixity Julien April 18, 2018 at 3:52 pm Reply

      I hope so at some point. I liked it, I didn’t love it, and it was too long.
