Mostly Medieval/Fantasy Romance Stories
By an Amazon.com customer
A Kingdom of DreamsA Kingdom of Dreams by Judith McNaught
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01
This is a story I've re-read too many times to count, and I never want it to end. Whitney, My Love is also a good story of another Westmoreland, although it is not set in medieval times.
UntamedUntamed by Elizabeth Lowell
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01
The other books in this Lowell series are pretty good, but this one is my favorite.
Midnight WarriorMidnight Warrior by Iris Johansen
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01
Johansen knows how to write wonderful dialogue, as demonstrated by her merchant knight who definitely knows how to barter!
My Gallant EnemyMy Gallant Enemy by Rexanne Becnel
Buy used from: $0.01
My first Rexanne Becnel novel and also my favorite.
My Lord Conqueror (An Avon Romantic Treasure)My Lord Conqueror (An Avon Romantic Treasure) by Samantha James
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01
I really like the early S.J. novels: My Cherished Enemy, My Rebellious Heart, and The Truest Heart are my other recommendations by her.
Lie Down In RosesLie Down In Roses by Shannon Drake
Buy used from: $0.01
Ms. Drake at her best. I also like a lot of her Heather Graham historicals, but they're mostly viking or early American stories.
Gentle Warrior (Tapestry romance)Gentle Warrior (Tapestry romance) by Julie Garwood
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01
A story that I find touching; in a manner similar to McNaught's Kingdom of Dreams, I just don't want this one to end.
The WarlordThe Warlord by Elizabeth Elliott
Buy used from: $0.87
A great story, followed by Elliott's Betrothed and Scoundrel, both of which I highly recommend.
Keeper of the DreamKeeper of the Dream by Penelope Williamson
Buy used from: $2.09
I'm not a big fan of Penelope Williamson in general, but this story is magical and earned a place on my keeper shelf. I've re-read it many times.
Lyon's PrizeLyon's Prize by Virginia Lynn
Buy used from: $0.01
Virginia Lynn is more popularly known as Julianna Garnett or Virginia Brown. This novel pre-dates her Garnett work, but it's worth reading if you can find a copy of it.
The Lily and the SwordThe Lily and the Sword by Sara Bennett
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.12
Sara Bennett is a fairly new addition to the keeper shelf, but she got me hooked with this debut. The Rose and the Shield, and Once He Loves are also part of the trilogy and very good.
Hearts VictoriousHearts Victorious by Marian Edwards
Buy used from: $0.01
A lesser-known story that I enjoyed reading.
Beyond the Highland Mist (Highlander, Book 1)Beyond the Highland Mist (Highlander, Book 1) by Karen Marie Moning
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.48
This time-travel is set primarily in medieval Scotland, and I found it an enchanting debut. I'll read Ms. Moning's other novels, but none have been able to quite meet the standard set by this one.
The Maiden BrideThe Maiden Bride by Rexanne Becnel
Buy used from: $0.01
Another Becnel book that I highly recommend.
Quest, TheQuest, The by Juliana Garnett
Buy used from: $0.68
The first of Julianna Garnett's many novels, and also my favorite of hers.
Fires of SurrenderFires of Surrender by Sylvie F. Sommerfield
Buy used from: $0.01
An older novel by Sylvie F. Somerfield that is worth locating. It has a good secondary couple featured in addition to the main couple.
Devil of Kilmartin (Highland Fling Romance)Devil of Kilmartin (Highland Fling Romance) by Laurin Wittig
Buy used from: $0.01
Another recent debut, which far exceeded my expectations. I am highly anticipating Ms. Wittig's next novel...
Dark ChampionDark Champion by Jo Beverley
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01
Classic Jo Beverley; also followed by Lord of Midnight, and although I didn't like that story as much, I would still recommend it.
The Angel and the PrinceThe Angel and the Prince by Laurel O'Donnell
Buy used from: $0.01
This is the first O'Donnell book I read, and the only one that I've re-read.
Kiss of the MoonKiss of the Moon by Susan Lynn Crose
Buy used from: $0.01
Susan Lynn Crose caught my attention with this novel. It's another one I highly recommend if you can find a copy.
Shadows and LaceShadows and Lace by Teresa Medeiros
Buy new: $7.50 / Used from: $0.01
Early Teresa Medeiros and much darker than her later work.
By PossessionBy Possession by Madeline Hunter
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01
Ms. Hunter is a highly talented author, who provides lovely stories with realistic settings that are rich in detail.
By Love Unveiled (Onyx)By Love Unveiled (Onyx) by Deborah Martin
Buy used from: $0.01
This book is not really classified as medieval, but Ms. Martin (aka Sabrina Jefferies/Justine Davis/Justine Dare) has crafted such a superb and unique story that I must recommend it here!
The Shadow Prince (Heartspell)The Shadow Prince (Heartspell) by Jan Zimlich
Buy used from: $0.01
Another non-traditional story, The Shadow Prince is more fantasy than medieval. It is set in an exotic land and mostly narrated, but I was captivated by the unique world Ms. Zimlich created.
