Am feeling fed up and want to be swept away by dashing gentlemen.

Best ones?

Persuasion is my first thought.

Pride and Predj, Sense and Sensibility, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights (Ralph Fiennes version).
try bbc iPlayer for series

A Room with a View.

Absolutely wonderful.

My Cousin Rachel.

A bit darker that a bodice-ripper, but stoatin' good.

Yes, and I thought the ending was managed better than in the book!

Ooh thankyou.

Am just watching Emma on Netflix and though its not a super romance its funny how being taken to that time period drags you in and you start to feel giddy about something as simple as a hand on the waist during a dance or a look lingering just a little too long.

I might have a look at some romance books too!
