Wallflower Romances! Historical Romance for the girls who feel overlooked, shy, or plain

Strictly romance first, romance novels. Expect fun banter, laugh out loud moments and ultimate joy, fun and elaborate conceits, feet kicking in the air and giggling vibes. Only books I personally recommend, and I tend to like romcoms where the leads have their own proper adult lives and see some personal growth. This is the best out of over 150! 😎

Recs welcome, especially really good, funny queer and bipoc, asian, global majority authors please 💕

Books with disability rep or written by disabled authors. I love the growing appreciation for rep in books and these are the ones I've found so far. Some I've read some are on my tbr so if you have any recs to add, feel free, and if any are abelist or harmful in any way please let me know!

For anyone who watched Bridgerton and immediately Googled "books with yearning in ballrooms," this list is for you. These books serve drama, banter, and just enough scandal to keep your fan fluttering.

Do you love HGTV and historical romance? You might be into these books. They're fixing up a run down and neglected estate or home or business or community and ALSO falling in love.
