In my opinion, this isn't as juicy as Sex with the King, but still a great read

Eurocentric, of course. Titilating, sure. Accurate, not so much. Needed a fact-checker (editor should have cought some more obvious errors) and it seems to me that the author puts a 21st century filter on what she reports.
For instance, she talks of 'mounds of flesh' on plump women as though it were repulsive in a time when we can see from the protraits done of women celebrated for their beauty that beauty often came in soft packages.
Not really done from the feminist perspective and not as accurate as i'd like, but it passed the time on public transportation and for that I'm grateful.

I have really enjoyed this book. After reading it you feel like you actually knew these people at one time. The only thing I didn't like about the book was how much it does seem to jump around. The only thing about that though is you really get to see how much of the royal families were related and the level of inbreding that was going on.

I really enjoyed this book. I've read others of the same topic and this one was more polished, and less juvenile. It's very entertaining and well written. Covering monarchs the more well known monarchs like Marie Antoinette and Anne Boleyn to lesser known Caroline Matilda of Denmark and Sophia Dorothea of Hanover. The book not only explores the loves of these women but also their daily and usually turbulent lives. Great way to learn a little history. I plan to read Sex with Kings next

I read a lot of period/non fiction of this period and loved this book. Gave me information about the players of the time I had never heard before. Easy read and lots of fun!
