Enjoyable listen. This story at least allowed this couple to fall in love with each other, thou in historical records they did not. Was an interesting take on the Great Aunt of Henry VIII.

Terrific Performance

I found this book to be a bit boring. The narrators were very good, but it seemed to go on forever. I usually binge books on the royals, but I found this one difficult to get through .

A little boring

Phenomenal piece of historical fiction
