This was a fun read and I thought an interesting between the lines and informed discussion/debate of the true nature Virgin Queen which I am surprised to see in this genre (romance). I also thought the author's attempts at evoking pleasant smells (the heroine always smells like honey and roses) was curious. Because the more she made these attempts the more I wondered what all the awful smells must have been like. I kept thinking what exactly does the hero, "Will", smell like if she "Nell" the

If you are looking for a light, easy to read book and don't mind a little romance, you'll enjoy the Queen's command. This book is a light romance, and a fairly breezy read over all, although I found a few chapters a little slow. A big reason I am on the fence about this one (thus the three star rating), is that Elizabeth really does not seem to be "herself".
While I concede she is not the main character she is a big player, after all it says "A novel of ...more

I didn't expect to like this book because I am not a huge fan of light romances. This book is about Nellanor Amesly, ward of the recently deceased Robert Dudley. She has a complicated relationship with Queen Elizabeth and feels as though she can never do enough to please her. Queen Elizabeth sends her on a mission to recover some letters belonging to Robert Dudley. This is complicated because Dudley told Nellanor that these letters would be her legacy. She is sent on her mission with a handsome

An entertaining historical romance that takes place in the court of Queen Elizabeth. Queen Elizabeth commands Nellanor Amesly, ward of Robert Dudley to retrieve a silver casket of personal letters allegedly written by Queen Elizabeth that were stolen by agents of Spain. As Nell's accomplice, Elizabeth sends handsome (of course) Will Steele. High adventure, lots of swashbuckling, and wild coach rides.
A light and easy read. A historical romance which wasn't always predictable, which I liked. The story was fast paced, so the few boring parts were at least over quickly.
I don't normally read books like this, but I thought this was amazing!
Good historical love story.
Interesting book about Elizabethan England. Lightly written with some hot spots and action.
Much of the historical facts are correct. The main character is fiction as far as I can figure out. Good ending.
