The Best of 2021 – Jessica’s List

After discovering a love of Harlequin Historical romances last year, I began really reading them this year and tried several new-to-me authors. This is reflected in my Best Of 2021 list as three of my four favorites were published under that banner.


 A Nun for the Viking Warrior by Lucy Morris

I purchased this book because someone shared it as a joke in a reading group on Facebook and I found the blurb interesting.  Now I’m in love with Viking romances.  Gentle giants are my favorite and Jorund is one of the best: he was so sweet to Aimee the entire story.  And this was packed with so much action I had trouble putting it down.

Stranded with the Reclusive Earl by Eva Shepherd

This was my second Eva Shepherd title this year and my second Eva Shepherd ever.  Both were fabulous, but I preferred this one.  It features a plucky heroine that can’t take no for an answer and a curmudgeonly shut-in that keeps telling her no anyway.  I love nothing more than a grouchy hero and this is no different.  This will for sure not be my last Eva Shepherd.

Wagering on the Wallflower by Eva Shepherd

This is a fabulous tale of a feisty heroine giving her hero some much needed comeuppance after dining out she’s part of a bet he’s placed.  Its very She’s All That with a twist in historical romance form.  I love watching a hero come to realize what a gem he has in a heroine.  And I love watching a hero grovel after he’s messed up.

Hero Wanted by Betina Krahn

Yet another new-to-me author, Betina Krahn has written an action-packed love story that I adored from beginning to end.  It’s about redemption after the hero makes himself out to be a complete jerk upon first meeting the heroine and must make up for it.  There are so many twists and turns on the road to their HEA that I could barely put it down.
