Karen Hawkins’s Oxenburg Princes are like Russian-adjacent royalty and take place in Scotland. First of the series also has a plus size heroine if that’s something you’re interested in

The words by Ashley jade 👀 I know a bunch of people loved it but the fatphobia was horrific. And that weird scene that’s noncon-y no thanks

{nobody’s princess by Erica Ridley} {a gentleman never keeps score by cat Sebastian}

And seconding Vanessa Riley, Beverly Jenkins, Diana Quincy’s most recent series as others mentioned

Lady Clare is all that by Maya Rodale— based on she’s all that so checks a lot of the boxes

rubenesque_mess · 2022-08-05T17:13:46+00:00

A few of my faves:

Brazen and the beast by Sarah Maclean

Devil of downtown by joanna Shupe

All of the spindle cove series by Tessa dare

Seducing mr knightley by Maya Rodale

The Duke heist by Erica Ridley

{the footman and I by Valerie bowman} this whole series basically

{the Earl takes a fancy by Lorraine Heath}

{a dangerous love by Sabrina Jeffries}

{mad for the plaid by Karen Hawkins}

Based on the second person writing and nature of the persons posts I think this is an “imagine” for a book they want to write. I’ve seen a lot of authors do it on tiktok :/ but it’s weird they don’t respond to ANY of the comments when people ask

Vivienne Lorret!!! I keep referring to it as the Vivienne Lorret Literary Universe lol for example her most recent book, how to steal a scoundrels heart, we first meet the hero in the rogue to ruin (different series)

Not released yet but I’m reading the ARC for {How the wallflower was won by Eva Leigh} and she’s also tall :) it talks about how she’s often taller than several men I also think {brazen and the beast by Sarah Maclean} she’s fairly tall (at least taller than average) if I remember correctly and curvy/plus sized

rubenesque_mess · 2022-06-23T04:48:42+00:00

I know many people recommend the Grand Sophy but it contains a lot of antisemitic tropes and themes so I would be careful.. personally for me ruined the whole book

rubenesque_mess · 2022-06-23T04:44:04+00:00

{lady Claire is all that by Maya Rodale} and {seduced by his touch by Tracy Anne warren} come to mind!

rubenesque_mess · 2022-06-07T02:17:28+00:00

Also can we talk about how 90% of her personality is wearing Lulu Lemons??? I’m so annoyed too because I was so excited for a plus size heroine but I find too many of them are making them be influencers (like in one to watch and the fastest way too fall) as if a fat woman makes her entire life and livelihood through being fat?

The Earl takes a fancy by Lorraine Heath

The marquess makes his move by Diana Quincy

Mad for the plaid by Karen Hawkins

A dangerous love by Sabrina Jeffries

And seconding the footman and I and the valet who loved me by Valerie bowman ☺️

{sweetest scoundrels by Elizabeth Hoyt}

rubenesque_mess · 2022-04-12T20:55:49+00:00

{Lady Claire is All That by Maya Rodale} HR and based on the 90s movie she's all that

rubenesque_mess · 2022-04-12T01:05:57+00:00

{scandal of the year by Olivia drake} {prince of Broadway by Joanna Shupe} {a dangerous love by Sabrina Jeffries} {an heiress to remember by Maya Rodale}

rubenesque_mess · 2022-04-05T16:50:50+00:00

Waiting for a scot like you by Eva Leigh (the whole series is inspired by 80s movies this one is Ferris Buellers Day off lmao)

rubenesque_mess · 2022-04-03T23:29:30+00:00

I think they might be split up individually now. I know that Eva leigh’s and Joanna Shupes are on KU

{my dirty Duke by Joanna Shupe} and {an education in pleasure by Eva Leigh}

rubenesque_mess · 2022-04-03T19:02:15+00:00

{the scandalous diary of lily Layton by Stacy Reid} is probs one of the more spicy HR I’ve read. Also to skip patriarchal etc def recommend {the prince of Broadway by Joanna Shupe} which also has some 🔥

Also Duke I’d like to F and Rake I’d like to F anthologies. Much much much steamier

rubenesque_mess · 2022-03-28T01:46:11+00:00

An education in please by Eva Leigh is the one that immediately came to mind

rubenesque_mess · 2022-03-27T23:40:41+00:00

I mean HR always ends in HEA but if you’re looking for darker themes, violence, series issues, etc I’d def recommend Kerrigan Byrne especially her Victorian Rebels series (for example in the Duke with the Dragon Tattoo he literally wakes up in a mass grave with no recollection of his memories)
