I loved everything about this book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. So much so that I hope a sequel is in the works as I need more!!!

Enjoyed this book!

I love dual time stories! This one was a modern period with a connection to HenryVlll’s court. I hope a sequel will come that gives further meaning to one of the main character’s (Eleanor) motto “While I breathe I hope”. The narrator did a great job.

Great book

Wonderful story. Glad I bought it. I'll be watching for new ones. Hope it's soon.

Uneventful

Uneventful and predictable. The narrator had a mellow voice that at times put me to sleep.
