I have recently finished reading Tatiana and Alexander series by Paulina Simmons and was absolutely flawed at what a great set of books they are. I am now looking for some book suggestions that are similar to her style of writing. I love romance in war time type novels. Please help me.

I know nothing of Paulina Simmons, but if you like romance in wartime type novels, here are a few:

War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy is a super classic romance in wartime novel. It's about Napoleon's invasion of Russia. Tolstoy waxes philosophic quite a bit over the course of the novel -- some people really like that, and some people find it tedious.

Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell is another very well-loved romance novel which takes place during the American Civil War. I personally didn't like it very much, but I'm definitely in a very small minority.

For Whom the Bell Tolls and A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway are also very famous novels about romance during war, but are quite different in scope than W&P and GWTW. For Whom the Bell Tolls focuses on an American soldier on a mission in the Spanish Civil War, and A Farewell to Arms is about an ambulance driver in WWI who deserts.

I guess these are all very well known, so I'm sorry if these suggestions are not very helpful.
