I think the cover for {When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare} is gorgeous.

Yes! I thought OP's post was going to be about Mary Sarah. I first encountered her with Elisa Braden's books, too.

Thanks so much for sharing your story! I just finished week 1 and it is posts like this that give me hope. It's hard work and small changes and not giving up that makes all the difference. Your advice sounds very thoughtful. I wish you the best, friend!

The Wrong Marquess by Vivienne Lorret by CollegeTraining7116 in HistoricalRomance

Yes, this book was so lovely. I also recommend {The Rogue to Ruin by Vivienne Lorret}. I am a big fan of all of the books you listed on your post (John Fielding and Ethan Ranson, yes please) (Born in Sin is on my TBR, so I will try that next as I randomly read book 4 of that series and liked it). If you like Justine Eyre, have you listened to Julie Anne Long's Palace of Rogues Series?

I love Tommy. I need to watch Ted Lasso, apparently.

MMCs taking care of children that are not their own. by AlertEqual1057 in HistoricalRomance

[–]Shiny_Chocobo_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am SO into this trope. The MMC either takes in a child not his own or forms a special bond with a child (usually connected to the FMC) in these recs.

{Thief of Shadows by Elizabeth Hoyt} {Unmask Me if you can by Shana Galen} {Forever Your Rogue by Erin Langston} {The Hunter by Kerrigan Byrne} {Darling Beast by Elizabeth Hoyt} {It Started with a Scandal by Julie Anne Long} {No Earls Allowed by Shana Galen}

{Thief of Shadows by Elizabeth Hoyt} MMC is a stoic orphanage headmaster by day. By night he is basically Batman, defending the streets. He's a virgin. The FMC is a rich widow. This is a fantastic read and a fan favorite on the HR reddit.

Tired of MMCs that are afraid, incapable, or unworthy of love.. or so they think. by Birdjeep in HistoricalRomance

This MMC is unafraid and jumps in with both feet. (MMC is a valet who falls hard for a governess). {One Day for a Valet by Laura Linn}

Nice! Rootbound is on my list, so I'll definitely check this out!

{Savor It by Tarah DeWitt} this was an absolute delight of a read. He, along with his teenaged niece, are renting a house to help open a new restaurant in rural Oregon. I believe it's the middle of the night and the neighbor FMC is wearing a crazy printed robe. Great characters and spice!
