I can’t wait to read what she writes next. “The Death of Bees,” by Lisa O’Donnell, a dark, fierce first novel that is a page-turner and a fairy tale turned inside out. “Inside the Dream Palace,” by Sherill Tippins, the history of the Chelsea Hotel, since I’m a Chelsea girl. “Time and Again,” by Jack Finney, which I missed in the ’70s and just discovered - I am a huge fan of all time travel.

Oh, it is a wild life! Even now, thrilled as I am by talking to you, I do not forget for an instant that an unfinished story is awaiting me. I hurry for ever from one story to another, and can't help myself. Day and night I am held in the grip of one besetting thought, to write, write, write! Hardly have I finished one book than something urges me to write another, and then a third, and then a fourth-I write ceaselessly.

If you are looking for something super engaging, set in a unique era, I can’t recommend this one enough. I will say that I was hooked by this story, and it’s been months since a historical has grabbed my attention like this and I was so in for this one, and the trope of an arranged marriage probably aided that, and the unique set up of the Tudor era. However, reading this now, yeah these books were steamier than I normally find in historical’s but not crazy heat, just what you find in most books these days. I wouldn’t exactly call these erotic historicals or even BDSM related at all, but in comparison to historical steam back then, I can see why they were labeled super high steam. I believe this is when the movies for Fifty Shades were coming out, so the whole sexier historicals were a big thing back then. I remember when this book was released, (crazy it’s almost been ten years, it doesn’t feel that old at all) but this book and this series were a big deal.
