Upcoming 2011 Release - Royal Pains by Leslie Carroll


For those of you that enjoyed Royal Affairs and Notorious Royal Marriages by Leslie Carroll, here is her next upcoming release - Royal Pains: A Rogues Gallery of Brats, Brutes, and Bad Seeds!

In a world where sibling rivalry knows no bounds and excess is never enough, meet some of history’s boldest, baddest, and bawdiest royals

"The bad seeds on the family trees of the most powerful royal houses of Europe often became the rottenest of apples. In an effort to stave off wrinkles, sixteenth-century Hungarian Countess Erzsébet Báthory bathed in the blood of virgins, and for kicks and giggles devised even more ingenious forms of torture than the über-violent autocrats Vlad (the Impaler) Dracula and Ivan the Terrible had ever imagined. Lettice Knollys strove to mimic the appearance of her cousin Elizabeth I and even stole her man. The Duke of Cumberland’s sexcapades and subsequent clandestine marriage led to a law that still binds England’s royal family. And the libidinous Pauline Bonaparte scandalized her imperial brother by having herself sculpted nearly nude and commissioning a golden drinking goblet fashioned in the shape of her breast.

Chock-full of shocking scenes, titillating tales, and wildly wicked nobles, Royal Pains is a rollicking compendium of the most infamous, capricious, and insatiable bluebloods of
Europe."
Keep you eyes out for this one in March 2011. And just announced there will be a fourth book in the series titled Royal Romances: Titillating Tales of Passion and Power in the Palaces of Europe!
