amisner 's review for:

Royal Mistress by Anne Easter Smith

2.0

---

I feel like this book does not serve well as a stand alone. Rather the author uses it as a vehicle to provide small updates on previous characters. There is also a significant amount of time spent dealing with events in the second half of the book that have nothing to do with Jane Shore. Edward dies in the first half of the action, so our protagonist is only the Royal Mistress for maybe a quarter of the story.
