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

❤️❤️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.
