This book did not work for me.
Everything felt very formulaic and contrived. I didn't really understand the attraction between the hero and heroine; it felt like they got together because that was what was supposed to happen. All of the misunderstandings and 'conflict' between the romantic pair could have been avoided and resolved if they had a conversation instead of immediately jumping to conclusions.

Total trashy bodice-ripper, but I needed a palette cleanse between serious books and this did the job just fine.

This book wasn't for me.
I didn't like both the characters, nor the story. Couldn't get attached to any of it.

I truly enjoy books set in the Tudor period, so reading this book was a no brainer for me.
I liked Wolf's character and how he was big on making sure Eloise consented to their couplings. When she shows fear on their wedding night he immediately stops and pushes her no further. I just greatly disliked how he constantly jumped to conclusions about her cheating on him with every man she comes in contact with.

This is a fairly standard romance novel with an atypical setting - in this case the Tudor court - and probably dubious historical accuracy. (I'm not sure we ever learn the hero has a name other than "Wolf" although presumably he must.) It is fun if you are looking for heaving bosoms and some probably historically-inaccurate smutty language, but I'm pretty sure this book should not even be kept in the same room as anything by Hilary Mantel.
