One great standalone historical romance novel is 'Outlander' by Diana Gabaldon. It has a wonderful blend of historical details, adventure, and a passionate love story set in Scotland. Another is 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen. It's a classic that explores the social norms of the time and the relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy in a very engaging way. And 'The Bronze Horseman' by Paullina Simons is also a good choice. It's set during World War II and tells a heart - wrenching love story against the backdrop of a chaotic and dangerous time.
Sure. 'Gone with the Wind' is a well - known standalone historical romance. It takes place during the American Civil War and Reconstruction era, and Scarlett O'Hara's relationships are central to the story. Then there's 'The Duke and I' by Julia Quinn. It offers a charming look at the Regency era and the relationship between Daphne and the Duke. Also, 'The Time Traveler's Wife' by Audrey Niffenegger has elements of historical romance as it spans different times and the love story between Henry and Clare is quite unique.
