I will recommend the best Christmas historical romance novels in this post, which is based on my in-depth study and extensive research in this field.

These aren’t the only books on this topic. Below, you’ll find 20 books with detailed descriptions of each of these outstanding resources, helping you make well-informed decisions in your Christmas Regency romance journey.

1. Death

Death by Laura Thalassa

The first one is one of my most highly anticipated of the year it is Death by Laura the Lasso which I do have an arc of I have barely started it I’m nine percent in but I do have to put it down in order to finish up my Halloween to be read but I totally screamed when it showed up on my kindle cause I love laura Thalassa I love the four horsemen series.

I know my friend Lisa has already finished it and she said that death is her favorite horseman so I am extremely hyped so far it’s been intense a lot of people died which is not surprising the heroine is literally the only being the only person that death cannot kill like she is immortal.

2. Wed to the Wild God

Wed to the Wild God: A Fantasy Romance by Ruby Dixon

I’m also planning to read Wed to the wild god by Ruby Dixon it’s been a while since I last read Ruby Dixon I don’t really read her too much anymore as much as I used to at least but I love this fantasy romance series it’s the third book in the aspect and anchor series about Kasem.

and I’ve been waiting quite a while for his book the series is so good though it’s like a mix of Outlander and Game of Thrones with gods each book in the series has been an extremely long and extremely slow burn.

so it’s very different from her other books there is no instant love there is no Insta lust but I do really love this series if you love high fantasy and you love a slow burn and you love long books you definitely need to read them.

3. King of Battle and Blood

King of Battle and Blood by Scarlett St. Clair

I have quite a few scarlet Sinclair books to read as well as three of her fantasy romances the first one is an arc of her upcoming release which is The King of Battle and Blood.

it’s a fantasy romance with vampires so kind of similar to another popular series but I am very excited it’s the first in a new series with a publisher Scarlett Sinclair got picked up by a publisher which is really exciting.

the heroine enters this marriage of convenience with a vampire king and she plots to kill him the day of their wedding but she doesn’t succeed he stops her so it’s enemies to the lover’s marriage of convenience and fantasy with vampires.

4. A Touch of Ruin & A Touch of Malice

A Touch of Ruin & A Touch of Malice by Scarlett St. Clair

I also plan to read the last two books in her Hades and Persephone series I read book one and I really liked it I actually have the audiobooks of both of these books A Touch of Ruin and A Touch of Malice.

I had them on hold for so freaking long but I do have the paperbacks too clearly I really like the setup of this world though it was really easy to read I like the characters and the romance so I’m looking forward to reading more of them.

5. A Lot Like Adiós: A Novel

A Lot Like Adiós: A Novel by Alexis Daria

This first one is ‘A Lot Like Adios’ by Alexis Daria I have read You Had Me at Hola but I thought it was okay I do want to read this one mainly because it’s a second chance romance anytime I hear that a book has the second chance romance I want to read it.

I also currently have this audiobook checked out at my library so it’s coming up soon I think this one is work related to the main characters they reunite and they’re forced to work together for this marketing campaign.

6. The Heart Principle

The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang

and of course, I do have to eventually read the new Helen Huang I’ve been pushing it off for some reason that I don’t really know myself but I am going to read it in the next two months I know this book is very very different from her first two books like it’s not even that much of a romance.

I’ve heard it’s very heartbreaking I’m fully prepared to cry during this one and I don’t even cry for books really but she didn’t make me tear up for the bright test so this one will probably get even more than that.

7. The Donut Trap: A Novel

The Donut Trap: A Novel by Julie Tieu

I want to read ‘The Donut Trap’ by Julie Tieu which is out in early November I’ve been really excited to read it first because of this adorable cover and second, it’s an Asian romance debut in the heroine works at her family’s donut shop the hero is her old college crush I know my friend madison from the princess of paperback really liked this one so I’m excited.

8. Battle Royal: A Novel

Battle Royal: A Novel by Lucy Parker

I also have ‘Battle Royal’ by Lucy Parker on my read it’s a foodie romance it’s another foodie romance it’s got baking it’s pretty much like the great British bake off except the main characters are competing to win this opportunity to bake a wedding cake for a princess it’s enemy still lovers with a very grumpy hero lucy parker is very good at writing grumpy heroes.

I read her for the first time this year and I really liked it so I’ve been wanting to read more of her books.
