I am very much intrigued, and your favorite quote has flamed the intrigue even more.

There aren't many authors who can carry off making readers fall in to love with the hero and then fall out of love, too.

I would say that she is one of my favorite authors.<br /><br />Irena - The only books I have read of this period are about the mistresses of this time - and were either by Susan Holloway Scott or Jean Plaidy. But it is a wonderful period to read about.<br /><br />Susan - It really was like he changed completely, and the things that I liked about him went out the window. Thanks for writing these books! They are awesome.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609161113240681299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-21579051973587937622010-09-03T12:16:51.507-04:002010-09-03T12:16:51.507-04:00Many thanks for the wonderful review, Heather!
I h...Many thanks for the wonderful review, Heather!<br />I have to admit that I became pretty impatient with James after he was crowned, too, and I suspect that Katherine did is well. She had plenty of good reasons for breaking with him. But one of the aspects of her that I liked best was that, after her time as a royal mistress was done, she didn't just fade away, but continued to play her part at court. When the new regime of William & Mary followed James, she met and married one of William's trusted officers, the Earl of Portmore. At last she had her true love and husband, and I couldn't have been happier for her! :)Isabella Bradford/Susan Holloway Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997375216314200469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-8520845303244565752010-09-03T05:04:11.312-04:002010-09-03T05:04:11.312-04:00What a great review!

It's interesting that I haven't read many novels taking place in the time of Charles II, although I love the period, and this is a good way to start.
