Title: I Had to Keep Checking this was not Harlequin Romance
Product review: A story about Queen Elizabeth's early days on the throne. This version focuses on the romantic relationship she allegedly had with Sir Robert Dudley. He was a married man when she became Queen, but his lust for power drove him to try and manipulate her to grant him a divorce so that he could be King and fulfill a family destiny. We see the envy and hatred he inspired in others and the despair of his wife - both of which lead to his downfall.Although well-written and researched, the author makes Elizabeth into a flighty, lust-driven girl instead of what history has shown us to have been a very calculating and powerful Queen. the sections on Lady Amy Dudley are so whiny you almost hope she WILL die and release Robert - which is not what the author probably wanted.
