I've noticed that Avon Books and Berkley Romance consistently publish some of the most captivating titles in the genre. Avon, an imprint of HarperCollins, has been a powerhouse with authors like Julia Quinn, whose 'Bridgerton' series took the world by storm. Berkley, on the other hand, brings fresh voices like Maya Rodale, whose 'Gilded Age Girls Club' series is a delightful mix of wit and romance.

St. Martin's Press also deserves a shoutout for their work with Tessa Dare, whose 'Girl Meets Duke' series is a perfect blend of humor and heart. For those who love a touch of mystery, Grand Central Publishing has been killing it with titles like 'The Vanishing Type' by Ellery Adams. And let's not forget Sourcebooks Casablanca, which has been publishing gems like 'The Hellion' by Sabrina Jeffries, a sizzling tale of redemption and love. Each of these publishers brings something unique to the table, making them the go-to for top-tier historical romance.

I’ve been obsessed with historical romance for years, and if I had to pick the best publishers right now, I’d go with HarperCollins’ Avon imprint and Penguin Random House’s Berkley. Avon has this knack for finding authors who weave rich, immersive worlds—think Lisa Kleypas’ 'Wallflowers' series or Sarah MacLean’s 'Bareknuckle Bastards.' Berkley, though, is where you find the edgier, more modern takes on the genre, like Evie Dunmore’s 'A League of Extraordinary Women,' which tackles feminism in Victorian England.

Smaller presses like Entangled Publishing are also stepping up with unique offerings. Their 'Scandalous' line features lesser-known but equally talented authors like Tiffany Clare, whose 'The Seduction of Sarah Marks' is a hidden gem. If you’re after something with a bit more literary flair, Graydon House’s 'The Duchess Deal' by Tessa Dare is a must-read. These publishers are keeping the genre fresh and exciting.

For me, the best historical romance novels come from publishers who balance authenticity with accessibility. Avon Books is a standout, especially with their recent releases like 'The Viscount Who Loved Me' by Julia Quinn. They have a way of making Regency-era romance feel both timeless and modern. Another favorite is Berkley Romance, which has been publishing daring, boundary-pushing works like 'Bringing Down the Duke' by Evie Dunmore, a book that cleverly blends romance with political intrigue.

I also have a soft spot for St. Martin’s Press, which has given us gems like 'A Week to Be Wicked' by Tessa Dare. Their ability to infuse humor into historical settings is unmatched. And let’s not forget Sourcebooks Casablanca, whose 'The Rogue Not Taken' by Sarah MacLean is a rollicking good time. These publishers are the backbone of the genre, delivering stories that are as emotionally resonant as they are entertaining.

Avon’s 'The Bridgerton' series by Julia Quinn is a cultural phenomenon, while Berkley’s 'A Rogue of One’s Own' by Evie Dunmore offers a fresh, feminist twist. St. Martin’s Press is another heavy hitter, with Tessa Dare’s 'The Duchess Deal' being a personal favorite. For something a bit different, try Entangled Publishing’s 'Scandalous' line, which features bold, unconventional love stories like 'The Earl Takes All' by Lorraine Heath. These publishers are defining the genre right now.

A Second Life Inside My Novels
Her name was Cathedra. Leave her last name blank, if you will. Where normal people would read, "And they lived happily ever after," at the end of every fairy tale story, she could see something else. Three different things. Three words: Lies, lies, lies. A picture that moves. And a plea: Please tell them the truth. All her life she dedicated herself to becoming a writer and telling the world what was being shown in that moving picture. To expose the lies in the fairy tales everyone in the world has come to know. No one believed her. No one ever did. She was branded as a liar, a freak with too much imagination, and an orphan who only told tall tales to get attention. She was shunned away by society. Loveless. Friendless. As she wrote "The End" to her novels that contained all she knew about the truth inside the fairy tale novels she wrote, she also decided to end her pathetic life and be free from all the burdens she had to bear alone. Instead of dying, she found herself blessed with a second life inside the fairy tale novels she wrote, and living the life she wished she had with the characters she considered as the only friends she had in the world she left behind. Cathedra was happy until she realized that an ominous presence lurks within her stories. One that wanted to kill her to silence the only one who knew the truth.

I am a terrible liar. Aiden raised his eyebrows. “Is that so?” He waited for my answer, crossing his arms over his chest. I got distracted by the way his biceps bulged. He noticed me staring. I glanced down at my lap, twiddling my thumbs. “Y-yes, Doctor Aiden, I was meditating and I-I focused on my breath like you taught me—” “Why are you lying to me, Ivy?” My head snapped at him. “I-I am not lying.” Aiden tilted his head and my throat went dry when he said, “Then why did I hear your voice moaning my name when you orgasmed with your fingers inside you?" He is her first love. She is his best friend's little sister. Will a chance reunion lead to true love? I was a good girl. An honor student. A dutiful daughter, sister and a sweet girlfriend to my boyfriend until I found him in my best friend’s bed. I didn’t want goody-two-shoe nice boys who gave me empty promises.

The only problem? He is a decade older than me, my brother’s best friend, a therapist who wants to counsel me and... he likes to hurt little girls like me.

As someone who devours historical romance novels like they’re candy, I’ve found a few hidden gems for free reading.

I’ve been absolutely obsessed with historical romance novels that got the Hollywood treatment recently! One standout is 'Bridgerton', based on Julia Quinn’s 'The Duke and I'. The Netflix series brought the Regency era to life with its lavish costumes and steamy romance. Another gem is 'Outlander', adapted from Diana Gabaldon’s epic series—it’s a time-traveling love story with breathtaking Scottish landscapes. For something more grounded, 'The Personal History of Rachel DuPree' by Ann Weisgarber was adapted into 'The Rachel Divide', though it’s more drama than romance. 'Pride and Prejudice' adaptations are timeless, but the 2005 film with Keira Knightley remains a favorite. If you love Victorian vibes, 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' mixes post-war recovery with sweet romance. Each of these adaptations captures the heart of their source material while adding cinematic magic.

Are There Any Recent Historical Romance Novels With Anime Versions?

As someone who devours both historical romance novels and anime, I can't help but get excited when these two worlds collide. While there aren't many direct adaptations of recent historical romance novels into anime, there are some gems that capture the same spirit. 'The Apothecary Diaries' is a fantastic example—originally a light novel series with a historical setting, it got an anime adaptation in 2023. The story follows a clever apothecary girl solving mysteries in the imperial court, and the slow-burn romance is *chef's kiss*. Another standout is 'Snow White with the Red Hair,' which blends historical fantasy with romance. Though not based on a novel, it has that classic historical romance vibe with a strong heroine and a charming love interest. For those who enjoy manga, 'Yona of the Dawn' is a must-read—it's got adventure, political intrigue, and a swoon-worthy romance set in a historical-inspired world. If you're craving more, light novels like 'The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent' also offer historical romance elements, though the anime focuses more on the fantasy side.

If you love Regency-era settings with a twist, 'The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics' by Olivia Waite is a must-read. It features a brilliant female astronomer defying gender roles. For something grittier, 'The Essex Serpent' by Sarah Perry blends historical drama with a strong-willed widow’s journey. Don’t miss 'The Once and Future Witches' by Alix E.

Another gem is 'The Matrimonial Advertisement' by Mimi Matthews, which ventures into colonial India with a wounded hero and a determined heroine. For those craving African settings, 'An Extraordinary Union' by Alyssa Cole delves into the American Civil War with a Black spy and a Scottish abolitionist. Even medieval Europe gets a diverse twist in 'The Bird and the Blade' by Megan Bannen, which incorporates Central Asian folklore. These books prove historical romance can be both inclusive and deeply immersive, offering windows into worlds beyond the usual Eurocentric narratives.
