Title: Brazen
Author: Katherine Longshore
Publication: June 12th 2014

Description: Mary Howard has always
lived in the shadow of her powerful family. But when she’s married off
to Henry Fitzroy, King Henry VIII’s illegitimate son, she rockets into
the Tudor court’s inner circle. Mary and “Fitz” join a tight clique of
rebels who test the boundaries of court’s strict rules with their games,
dares, and flirtations. The more Mary gets to know Fitz, the harder she
falls for him, but is forbidden from seeing him alone. The rules of
court were made to be pushed…but pushing them too far means certain
death. Is true love worth dying for?
I've read a couple of Katherine Longshore's books and I've enjoyed them immensely. I think this one sounds right up my alley!
It sounds interesting, but puzzling why if she is married to Fitz she can't see him alone? OR did I read the synopsis wrong? Hope you enjoy it. Here's My WoW
ReplyDeleteTheir marriage was never consummated. I've read that King Henry VIII's parents feared that too much sexual activity contributed to his older brother Aurthur's death. Being his only male child...he wasn't taking any chances lol.
