Top Ten Books For People Who Liked X Author

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

This week's topic is Top Ten Books For People Who Liked X Author. It's easier for me to think in terms of genre and story than of an author's writing style. Most of the links go to Goodreads, some go to my reviews.

Top Ten Books For People Who Liked X Author
 If you like Lori Wick try...

1. My Stubborn Heart by Becky Wade (contemporary)
Because of the setting
...kind of like White Chocolate Moments

2. Any of Laura Frantz's books (historical)
Because of the history
- The Colonel's Lady
- Courting Morrow Little (loved this book!)
- The Frontiersman's Daughter

3. Any of Siri Mitchell's books (historical fiction)
Because of the history, setting and romance
- The Messenger
- Heart Most Worthy

4. Any of Julie Klassen's books (historical)
Because of the settings and romance
- The Maid of Fairbourne Hall
- The Silent Governess

5. Beauty for Ashes by Dorothy Clark (historical)
Because of the history, plot and romance
...kind of like Wick's The Rescue - English Garden series, #2; or The Princess
(The second book, Joy for Mourning is also good.)

6. Here Burns My Candle series by Liz Curtis Higgs (historical)
Because of the history and romance

8. Anything by T. Davis Bunn (historical and contemporary)
Like Lori Wick he has written lots of historical fiction, several contemporary stories, and several series.
Some favorites include:

- The Book of Hours (contemporary-ish)
- Heirs of Acadia series co-written with Janette Oke (historical, Bk 5 was best)
- Acts of Faith series co-written with Janette Oke (historical, Bk 1 & 3 were best)

9. Janette Oke - but she's big enough to have her own 'People who liked X author' post
Because of the plethora of historical romantic fiction

- Heirs of Acadia series co-written with Davis Bunn (historical, Bk 5 was best)
Acts of Faith series co-written with Davis Bunn (historical, Bk 1 & 3 were best)

10. The Unlikely Suitor by Nancy Moser
Because of the history and romance
