Reading Historical Romance Novels

Recently I have been reading a new genre of literature other than comics, the genre is called Historical Romance, this genre was recommended by a old secondary school friend of mine, of whom I met unexpectedly in the library.

The first book I read was called 'Not Quite a Lady' by Louise Allen, shortly after I was reading a book called Written in the Heart by Judith Stacey. Within a span of two days both books were read. Soon after I read the first book called 'The Dangerous Mr Ryder' which is part of a series called 'Those Scandalous Ravenhursts'. This is also by Louise Allen.

Other books that I found very inspiring was the book 'Her Cinderella Season' By Deb Marlowe. This is because some parts of the story revealed parts of 'The Slave Trade', and also how certain issues of love were resolved. The other book was set within the Victorian Era, the book was called 'The Ac
This book I came to love alot, other than how the author revealed some interesting quotes by the protagonist, but how each of the characters were able to become so realistic. I felt so inspired by the book that I decided to do a fanart, which can be seen here:

I was so facinated and amazed of what I read that I decided to e-mail some of these authors my response and reactions Some of them I am waiting for a response, others have already replied back.

There will indeed be more of these books from this genre that I'll be reading and hopefully getting inspired from.
