Frustrated by his own failures at matrimony, King Henry VIII punishes an insolent nobleman by commanding him to marry the vagabond woman caught stealing his horse. Stephen de Lacey is a cold and bitter widower, long accustomed to the sovereign's capricious and malicious whims. He regards his new bride as utterly inconvenient...though undeniably fetching.
But Juliana Romanov is no ordinary thief - she is a Russian princess forced into hiding by the traitorous cabal who slaughtered her family. One day she hopes to return to Muscovy to seek vengeance.
What begins as a mockery of a marriage ultimately blossoms into deepest love.

As a result, I bought “At the King’s Command” without knowing much about it other than the plot description. A Russian princess and all the rest sounded promising, plus Alex...what’s not to like?
Unfortunately, what’s not to like is the hero, who is supposed to be tortured, but is really just a jerk. The princess is endlessly self sacrificing to the point where she became too good be to true. A hero who treats the heroine terribly, but she is still always throwing herself at him, is a let down for me. Charm and wit and nuanced period details such as you find in truly 5 star books are missing here. Content wise, the story is disappointing.
If you need your Alex Wyndham fix, this book is acceptable. He does a lovely job as always. “At the King’s Command” is better written than many historical romances, but sadly, not nearly as good as one would hope.
