Review # 1 was written on 2020-03-31 00:00:00 Marcelo Nascimento Most of the stars are for the chatterbox moppet Pippa who kept us thoroughly entertained. H wants to improve his son's lot so he lays claims to h's lands and brings King's attention to h's wealth, accumulated after losing four husbands through previous marriage contracts tilted in her favor. h pushes against his efforts. H suppresses his lust for her and forces her to face a murder trial. h stubbornly refuses to yield to her needs and heart's desire. They both go through hell, hurting each other, helping each other heal and finally accepting the reality that they love each other and belong together. This book has to be read with a lot of willing suspension of disbelief. I don't mind strong heroines. But this was entirely too much. h has vast amount of land and money with no protector. I would commend author for making the effort to make it believable but h's stubbornness went too far. The h is supposed to be such a sharp legal mind that she could get away with humiliating Henry VIII who chopped off his wives' head like he was making a salad. Pleaaasse!!!

Review # 2 was written on 2018-05-10 00:00:00 Stuart Kraus DNF. Twee kids, instalove/lust, annoyingly anachronistic independent heroine (whose standardized Womens Lib ranting reeks of "MODERN READERS WILL SYMPATHIZE WITH ME!"), spoon-fed psychology, & no real sense of era. Also: girl, you're rich, beautiful, four times widowed under suspicious circumstances by the time you're 30, & handling your multiple ostentatious properties gained by those four marriages, AFTER drawing up your own legal-perfect marriage contracts BY YOURSELF for the final three husbands, who were already rich & money'd before marrying you. And yet you're shocked that the King & Privy Seal have taken notice? WTF. Seriously. How could you think they wouldn't be aware of this stuff, let alone send minions to see you brought low?! *facepalm* ...No thanks. I'll pass.
