Here's something I've been thinking about today. Are there any historical romances out there where the hero & heroine are just ordinary, every-day people? No Lords or Ladys, just everyday regular working people. I can't think of any of the top of my head and I'm just wondering if this even exists. |

I haven't read much by her, but I usually her Carla Kelly recommended for this. Hey, where's our funny excerpt? You're holding out on us! |

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett but I don't know if it can be called a romance....there is a romance in it, a couple actually. |

Everything by LaVyrle Spencer is regular everyday people. Except Small Town Girl where the heroine was a famous country singer. But even in that story, she goes back home and falls in love with the boy next door. |

I thought Pillars of the Earth was a great romance actually. Good suggestion. :) |

One Knight Only by Julia Latham. Heroine is a lady's maid and hero is an untitled knight and son of a blacksmith. Adventures of a Scottish Heiress by Cathy Maxwell. Heroine is a merchants daughter and hero is an Irish outlaw. In The Bed of The Highlander-heroine is sort of a lady. Her grandfather was a disgraced Earl who fled to America or something. She was raised in America. Hero is a Scottish lawyer/rebel. Have you read any Western historicals? They're usually just cowboys, ranchers, farmers etc..., The occasional transplanted Lord or Lady. (I could not get through Pillars of the Earth. I wanted too but all the "ways of monastic life" and "how to build a cathedral" stuff was just too much for me.
