This book was received as an ARC from HarperCollins Publishers - William Morrow Paperbacks in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

It was so riveting reading this book and hearing all the secrets behind the royal family and all that made who they really are. I have read many books and seen so many documentaries and TV shows such as The Crown describing the queen and who she really is as a woman but this book brought it to a whole new level. The Queen Mother is sweet on the outside but a real tough woman on the inside, so tough that Hitler called her The Most Dangerous Woman in Europe. Now after King George is heir to the throne, Elizabeth will stop at nothing to keep her reign even if it means letting the former King and his mistress take the crown. Now with the people she knows and the cards she is played and dealt Elizabeth is stronger than ever even making her daughter the future queen. I know our book club will go crazy for this book and I can't wait for the discussions to generate from all the controversy.

We will consider adding this title to our Historical Fiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

This story provides an interesting perspective to World War 2. It was unlike anything else I have read. It is always interesting to think about how countries deal with national issues. This was a good read!

This was an interesting book from the perspective of the mother of the current Queen Elizabeth. After watching The Crown I was eager to read this book and learn a bit more about the Queen Mum. I was not disappointed and was quite intrigued by the story of "The Most Dangerous Woman in Europe" according to Hitler.
