I
heartily second that recommendation for
The Time Traveler's Wife. Such a great read. Also, made into a very enjoyable movie. I do recommend you read the book first.

If you think you will like Raymond E. Feist, might I recommend his various Riftwar series which I got into with the second series, beginning with
Magician: Apprentice. There is a Magician series, the Apprentice series, and riftwar saga and more. I still remember that first one I read fondly.

Getting out of historical fiction into fantasy with an interesting romance element, you could try the
Apprentice Adept series by Piers Anthony.
Or, you could try going more towards science fiction. An all-time favorite author of mine is Robert A. Heinlein. All of his books skew strange with the romantic elements but that strangeness can be thought provoking and mighty interesting. A good example of this would be one of his standalone novels,

Or, going for classics (also free at projectgutenberg.org and elsewhere) are Jane Austen's novels, all of which are good but my 3 recs for where to start if you haven't read her books yet are, in my preference order:
1. Pride & Prejudice
2. Emma
3. Sense & Sensibility
They have of course been adapted to tv and film a million bajillion times, but none of these can replace the reading of Austen's own words.
