The First Princess of Wales: A Novel 18 reviews Karen Harper
Three Rivers Press, 2006
Captivating from start to finish!
+ A Rollercoaster Romance + The First Princess of Whales
I've recently found myself enjoying many historical fiction and non fiction novels, so I decided to give this one a try. Before reading this I was a bit murky on the history of Edward III time, but after reading it I read up some more to figure it all out. Admittedly this book did not stay strict ...

Queen's Bastard: A Novel 25 reviews Robin Maxwell
Arcade Publishing, 2008
Intriguing . . . and possible!
+ Vivid and compelling + Excellent!
I love books that take history and suggest something that is not what the history books tell us, yet is presented in such a plausible manner that you cannot help but think, "What if?" "The Queen's Bastard" is such a book, suggesting as it does that a love child was born to the Virgin Queen, ...

Daggers of Gold 2 reviews Katherine Deauxville
e-reads.com, 1993
A Wonderful Medieval from the Talented Deauxville!
+ I LOVE THIS WRITER
Katherine Deaxuville (Maggie Davis) has quietly been one of the consistent writers in the romance field, whether Contemporary or Historicals for last couple of decades. With the flush of super new writers, it is easy to over look the leaders in the field that have set the trends and lead the way. ...

Blood Red Roses 5 reviews Katherine Deauxville
e-reads.com, 1999
My Favorite Medieval Romance
+ Wonderful and Truly Historical + One of the best!! A MUST READ Medieval!!
"Blood Red Roses" by Katherine Deauxville is my favorite Medieval Romance. Before this Elizabeth Lowell and Kathleen E. Woodiwiss wrote my favorites. I read this book when it came out and I've spent years trying to figure out why I love it so much. To start, the obviously well researched ...

World Without End 409 reviews Ken Follett
NAL Trade, 2008
Fabulous Epic!
+ A credit to historical fiction + World Without End
I believe this book may be better than Pillars of the Earth. It is similar, but has a different main story line. The characters and plot are rich and overlap. I was always surprised with the story events. It is a long book, but worth the read!!

The Amethyst Crown 1 review Katherine Deauxville
Zebra, 1994
A deeply moving, realistic saga!! Brilliant!!
As a writer and lover of Historical Romances, I am sadden to see the flood of books out where the only 'historical' in historical romance is they ride horses instead of drive Jeeps, the women wear long gowns, and there is some vague mention of a King on a throne. There are so very few moving ...

amazing author!!

I was given The Other Boleyn Girl as a gift and devoured it. Since then I have read every other book in the Tudor series. I am patiently awaiting her new book which is to hit the shelves in September. She is one of those authors who makes you not want the book to end. And her talent is consistent ...
