I was asked the question: "What author would you recommend to someone that has never read a historical romance novel before but wants to as long as it's good?" How would you answer this? What period would you recommend?

I’m a big fan of Marsha Canham. You can’t go wrong with her. My favorites by her:

Across the Moonlit Sea (pirate)
Iron Rose (pirate)
Straight for the Heart (western)
Under a Desert Moon (western)


The Robin Hood Trilogy:
In the Shadow of Midnight
Through a Dark Mist
The Last Arrow

Jane Austin hands down cuz she really digs into the souls of the lovers of her stories. Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Erye where two lost souls who come from damaged pasts find healing with love.
