Best christian historical romance books according to redditors

Cool, thanks! I checked on Amazon to see if it would eventually be available there as a digital download and I came across this: http://www.amazon.com/Where-Trail-Ends-Melanie-Dobson/dp/1609366859

I think you might really enjoy almost anything by Guy Gavriel Kay, but especially his early series, a trilogy called The Fionavar Tapestry. The first book is The Summer Tree

Here's a blurb from the Amazon page for The Summer Tree: 'I'm not just impressed by THE SUMMER TREE - I'm overwhelmed' Marion Zimmer Bradley.

Seriously, this is one of the best fantasy trilogies I've ever read and it makes me sad that more folks don't know about it. Read it and you'll probably start proselytizing about it too.

ugh i've finished everything worthwhile in my local library been reading e-books but running low on those as well

heres some off the top of my head.. be warned these are more character driven then anything else... I hate books with a giant cast of characters ( though malazan was an exception )

You want to read anything by Guy Gavriel Kay. Though not specifically set during these times and areas, the overarching themes are so apparent it’s almost appalling. Start with the The Summer Tree it’s hard to get into because he makes the characters hard to like before growing their personality. It’s worth it till the end though.

Shades of Gray vs. 50 Shades of Gray.

From a book that kids have to do reports on in 6th grade, to books that you hide when your parents are over.

I know of an author called Dee Henderson who does crime thrillers/suspense/romance and throws a little bit of Christianity into the mix. I recommend The O'Malley series (this is the first book of the series) by her. There's also Francine Rivers and she has a popular novel called Redeeming Love but she's written a ton of stuff.

The reason I know about these is because my Mom's friends all read these authors and they are always going on and on about their books. Hopefully by reading some of the excerpts you can get an idea of whether your grandmother would enjoy them. :)

The Fionavar Tapestry remains one of my absolute favorite works of fiction, easily ranking up there with Way of Kings or The Name of the Wind.

The first book is The Summer Tree.
