"Devil in Winter" by Lisa Kleypas

If you’re missing the smoldering chemistry and swoon-worthy romances of Bridgerton, "Devil in Winter" is your next must-read.

"The Grand Sophy" by Georgette Heyer

Need a dose of humor and wit? Look no further than "The Grand Sophy" by Georgette Heyer. Sophy Stanton-Lacy is a force of nature, breezing into her relatives’ lives and turning everything upside down. She’s charming, audacious, and completely unforgettable. Watching her navigate high society while orchestrating a few romances on the side is an absolute delight. If Lady Whistledown had a favorite heroine, it would definitely be Sophy.

"Blackmoore" by Julianne Donaldson

For those who crave a bit more gothic mystery with their romance, "Blackmoore" is the perfect pick. Set on the windswept moors of northern England, this story follows Kate Worthington as she seeks freedom from her oppressive family. A summer at the hauntingly beautiful Blackmoore estate promises both danger and passion. Julianne Donaldson’s lush writing and the brooding hero, Henry, will keep you turning pages well into the night.

"Bringing Down the Duke" by Evie Dunmore

If you’re a fan of strong heroines and historical accuracy, "Bringing Down the Duke" is a must-read. Annabelle Archer is one of the first female students at Oxford University, and she’s determined to fight for women’s rights. Enter Sebastian Devereux, the Duke of Montgomery, who’s as powerful as he is handsome. Their clash of wills and undeniable attraction make for a captivating read. Plus, the feminist themes add a refreshing twist to the typical Regency romance.

"Slightly Married" by Mary Balogh

Last but certainly not least, "Slightly Married" by Mary Balogh is a classic Regency romance that will tug at your heartstrings. Aidan Bedwyn, a duty-bound soldier, promises a dying comrade to protect his sister, Eve. What starts as a marriage of convenience soon blossoms into something much deeper.
