Reviews for Taming the Tempestuous Tudor

[wyvernfriend · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Sometimes interesting but ultimately it left me a bit underwhelmed. Henrietta Raemon is the illegitimate daughter of Henry VIII and she longs to get close to her sister Elizabeth, the Queen, she is quite singleminded and doesn't take into account the complicated politics of the English Court. She is tricked into marriage with Baron Somerville and she resents this somewhat, but she learns to love him and discovers that they have more in common than she first thought. I just didn't connect with the characters and while I found some of it interesting (Juliet Landon has done her research and it shows) I just didn't care for Henrietta and didn't really feel any sympathy for her. Not a bad read but I didn't really care enough.
