You have read Rafael Sabatini (Scaramouche, Captain Blood, and many more) and Stanley Weyman (Under the Red Robe)? Nothing like going to the classics (and they are wonderful)...
I've also very much enjoyed Lynn Kerstan's last few romances, which are properly swashbuckling, particularly The Golden Leopard, Silver Lion, and Heart of a Tiger. Also Loretta Chase's romances, many of which have recently been reprinted (OK, I have a Thing about Albanian bandits...)

And, yes, the Jack Absolute books are great.
