I was wondering what you all thought about time travel romance novels.  I love all kinds of romance, contemporary, historical, Christian, mystery, and time travel.  I have read or am now reading Lynn Kurland, Diana Gabaldon, Geralyn Dawson, Hailey North, Catherine Coulter, Jodi Thomas, Sharon Sala, Linda Lael Miller, Kristin Hannah, and Debbie Macomber.  My question is, I am looking for more time travel books and am having a hard time finding good new authors.  I am hoping someone has a suggestion for me.  Thank you for all suggestions.  :)

Gabaldon is the best, but I also recommend Karen Marie Moning. 

I usually avoid this sub-genre altogether.  It's like it preys upon the weaknesses of us poor, historical romance loving fools who'd like to transport a few hunky heroes to the present time, or zap ourselves back to when & wherever it is these Mr. Wonderful's are hiding out...:P

That said, I really loved Susan Grant's Once a Pirate.   I picked it up used on a recommendation from The Romance Reader website - I think it's on their 5 Heart Favorites list, or possibly the top 100 list.  The heroine is a fighter pilot who flies into some sort of time/space anomaly type thingy - standard stuff from Grant, or so I hear (never read anything else by her), and she gets transported back in time and taken aboard a "pirate" ship (I think they're more privateers - not that it matters a lot).  Heroine meets hero, he thinks she's somebody else, and then thinks she's crazy, and meanwhile, nature takes it's course...  All in all, it's cute & funny, steamy enough & pretty well written (I didn't constantly get jerked out of the flow of the story by it's unbelievability), and it has a nice swashbuckling movie quality to it - especially the ending.  I don't know that I'll ever read it again, it's hard to say.  But it's been in with my keeper books for over a year now, which says a lot, because I only hang onto things I find in some way unique or exceptional.

I'm not a big time-travel one either.  I  really enjoyed the Parallel books by Diedre Knight. But then only go back in time about 10yrs.  I read a couple Karen Marie Moning Books that were pretty good.

Karen Marie Moning, Janet Chapman has a few, Diana Gabaldon...its hard to find good TT stories.  Most authors are hit and miss.

I know Madeline Baker has a few time-travel's that usually deal with indians or the western genre. Sandra Hill also has a few viking time travels.

I agree with all the authors already mentioned especially Sandra Hill. She has  ones with Vikings and Navy Seals and are always humorous enjoyable reads.

Holy crap, I didn't know there was so many lol.

Thank you, for all the new authors.  I haven't heard of them so this will open me up to a lot of great books. 

Thanks Cindi for that great list.  We must have posted at the same time.  Now let's see if I can copy and paste that post.........

I usually avoid this sub-genre altogether.  It's like it preys upon the weaknesses of us poor, historical romance loving fools who'd like to transport a few hunky heroes to the present time, or zap ourselves back to when & wherever it is these Mr. Wonderful's are hiding out...:  LOL!!! Sooooo true.. I'd pass out if a hunk in breeches and riding boots walked in the door!

A Knight in Shining Armor (1989) by Jude Deveraux  is one of my faves

Can someone let me know if I like the writing style of Debbie Macomber, Ive heard that I would like Linda Lael Miller,

what are your thoughts?

Thanks!
