I liked this one better than the previous two in the series. Either I got used to the writing style problems or the story grabbed me enough I didn't notice. Anyway, very enjoyable, and generally pretty good history (some liberties again, but at least the author did enough research to do it deliberately).

what a good story. it was very sensual but very tasteful. and to intertwine it amongst the political vendettas of the characters was absolutely genius. virginia henley obviously did her homework. she definitely gave rise to these now popular "political" authors such as philipia gregory and diane heller

Romance twisted with a lot of history type stuff!!! A story filled with more than just pretty girl beautiful women, but don't worry the story is takes a leaf from the pages of the stories written in the same time period, with lots of sexual slurs and political gambles!!

Love this book. The setting, plot and characters were superb. Rosamond and Rodger...perfect couple. Love the minor character Alyce, she adds slutty humor to the plot.

Henley is so easy to read and this is just another of her great books that are fun not only to read, but also to reread.

Historical romance set in Medieval England. Excellent! I like Henley's book for a quick, entertaining read.
