Based on true facts, this is the story of Isabella from Portugal and her husband Charles. An arranged marriage, turns to love but it's fraught with politics, hurdles, and so much more. The characters are strong and determined, the author does a great job defining them. In a smooth paced speed, don't miss the amazing love of these two as well what built up kingdoms into the future. Loved this story.

This was a spicy medieval romance set in the fifteenth century. It was very entertaining and exciting with much deceit, battles, and terrible havoc between King Henry, the VIII, Rome, and King Frances. The main characters were intelligent, strong-willed, and devoted. The delicious passion was extremely steamy and very hot. I enjoyed how, despite everything, a beautiful love was found. I highly recommend reading!

Thank you so much for an early copy. This story is a romantic/ fantasy read that keeps you turning the pages. Great read

I love how Isabella is not afraid to speak her mind, and what a strong character she has.
I love how dedicated they are to each other. I also loved how innocent they were in discovering each other's bodies.
However, I have a couple critiques. First of all, I really hate the term cunny. That's just me though. Second, the story really didn't have much plot at all. There were ups and downs but overall there wasn't an overarching plot, which I found very frustrating. I was also surprised how quickly the book ended.

A timeless love story, well written, strong character with each have a good background story making them who they are.

The QUEEN of spicy Medieval Romances. I have absolutely devoured and LOVED this entire series. All of the books have been wonderful salacious treats. I can't wait to read her next book! FIVE STARS 🌟
