15 Romance Novels to Read After Binging Bridgerton

Sebastian has become a rising voice in the realm of queer historical romance, and there’s truly no bad place to start with her books — but A Gentleman Never Keeps Score, the second in her Seducing the Sedgwick series, manages to tick so many Bridgerton-related boxes it’s ridiculous. Lady Katherine Danvers conjures up a pretend fiancé in the reclusive and scarred Duke of Thornton, never thinking that the man himself will emerge back into society to confront a woman he’s never met about making up stories. After the passing of her literal wicked stepmother, Ana Maria might need a helping hand as she finally makes her debut — but when her independent streak places her in a precarious situation, her half-brother taps his best friend Nash, Duke of Malvern, to offer her some self-defense lessons.
