Best gifts for women and ladies, Christmas, Birthdays and Valentine’s Day
Sometimes it can seem a daunting task to shop for a woman but it does not have to be. Most ladies like personal items that go along with their personalities. Some of us like a little bling in our jewelry while others of us wear a minimal amount or no jewelry at all. Hint: take a look at the gal in your life. Does she wear a lot of jewelry? Is it flashy or subtle? Go with something that you can see her wearing. If she does not wear any, then jewelry probably is not a good idea.
Is she an outdoors kind of gal? Perhaps she is a little on the geeky side. Does she love animals? Think about the things that she likes to do and the way she presents herself in public. Those are all clues as to great gift ideas for Christmas or any time.

Top Clean Regency Romance Novels Ever
Best Historical Romances set in the Regency Era – available for Kindle
Historical Regency Romance Novels have a built in tension that no modern novel can have: all that suspense because without touching (let alone x-rated action) it’s all about manners, feelings, words, social customs and hindrances… Personally I like my romance novels clean like that, so this list reflects that. Don’t think though that this means these are all CHRISTIAN romances. Those are included here too though.
On this page I feature both the classic Jane Austen and more modern authors like Georgette Heyer and Candice Hern.
The quintessential regency romance novelist is Jane Austen, but since she wrote about the people of her time she is not what you’d call a ‘historical’ romance novelist. Still, I’ve listed her works here because they really are genius. It’s no wonder they’ve been turned into movies and reworked countless times. I think she’s funny as well as very observant of people.
