A review by tanyarobinson
Naked by Eliza Redgold

3.0

This fictionalized novel of Lady Godiva's legendary ride through Coventry in exchange for the lifting of taxes was a fun and quick read. Historical sources for this period are extremely sparse, and so little is known of the real Godiva and Leofric. Redgold creates a plausible background for the legend, and incorporates it into a love story between the heroine and her stern earl. I felt that the plot's complications and the lovers' differences were resolved too suddenly and easily, but I still enjoyed the book. 3.5 stars.
