Elizabeth Hoyt - she's a favorite lately  - 2 series

I always recommend Madeline Hunter's series and also Elizabeth Hoyt's series.  Love the characters in both author's books.  I also think if you liked Julia Quinn's Bridgerton family, you would like the Essex Sisters by Eloisa James:  Much ado about you, Kiss me Annabelle, The Taming of the Duke and Pleasure for Pleasure.   Another great author is Marsha Canham.  Some of her books are in series.  I loved the two Dante Pirate books, and that is usually not my thing at all.

Ordered the Essex Sister series . . . thanks for the recommendation.  I will definitely try the others, as well.

Happy reading!!

Have to second the Elizabeth Hoyt recommendation, I love her books.

Since you enjoyed Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series you may want to try Amanda Quick, most of her stories are stand-alones, all are historicals, and all feature varying degrees of banter and humor between the H/h (and usually a "mystery" of some kind). In my humble opinion, her single title works are her best.

ETA: don't start with anything from her Arcane series unless you happen to enjoy a touch of paranormal in your historicals. (Amanda Quick  (historicals) is also Jayne Ann Krentz (contemporaries) is also Jayne Castle (paranormals) and the Arcane series includes books under her JAK name)

for light historicals that mix the funny and sexy like SJ, try celeste bradley

Seton:   Could you be more specific and give us some titles.   thanks mucho.

Pamela, I would go with her most popular series - the Liars Club. Five books in all and like most series, the earlier bks are the best. Of course, its about spies. I hate spy bks so I just ignored most of the intrigue and just concentrated on the sexy and funny.

Her next series after that is the Royal Four and its an offshoot of the Liars Club with some of the old H/H making cameos.

Her next series after that was the Duke trilogy and I actually found her more generic w/o the spies. Bring back the spies!

I never had a spy affair, so I guess that sounds like fun. LOL  Thanks.

JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR "THE ESSEX SISTERS" SERIES RECOMMENDATION BY ELOISA JAMES.  I LOVED IT!!!!!  Lots of fun to read . . . I have ordered many of the other books recommended here, as well.

BTW, read Quick's one title books (Desire, Seduction, etc.) a long time ago . . . they are great reads!!

Happy reading!!
