The Last Howard Girl

Tudor Chronicles #3

by Lesley Jepson

Henry VIII is dead and Elizabeth is at the court of her brother Edward VI. Tainted by the twin strains of illegitimacy and heresy, she meets and falls in love with Robert Dudley, himself almost ruined by rumours of treason and unfortunately married. When his wife dies in suspicious circumstances the way is clear for him to marry again. But can Elizabeth the Queen, beset on all sides by demands to marry for the benefit of England, follow her heart? And will Robert remain loyal and wait for her or find another to share his life?

Fascinating and engrossing!

Can hardly wait to get to the Book 4. Beside his connection to the Queen Elizabeth, I knew very little about Robert Dudley. I plan on doing some in-depth research of him after reading this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is curious and wanting to know more about Robert Dudley, Queen Elizabeth's lover.

The true story

I think these chronicles are the greatest things about the Tudor history I have had the pleasure of reading. Can't wait to read the next Tudor chronicle.

Good read

Very well written. It flows well. You can almost feel Elizabeth's every emotion and almost hear the swish of her gown. Very enjoyable.
