Kate has really researched and mastered Tudor England history and it shows in At the King’s Pleasure. Boy, women didn’t have it easy back then. I don’t know if I would have been if I’d been put in some of the same situations. If you love Tudor novels, but are tired of the same old, grab one of Kate’s books and it will renew your interest simply because it’s a different point of view – and, you learn about someone you otherwise might not have ever heard of. Each of the books in this series tells the tale of a secondary character and I think that is what hooked me in the first place. The fourth book in her Secrets of the Tudor Court series, it is centered around a lesser known character in Henry VIII’s court, Anne Stafford, who is sister to the Duke of Buckingham. And wow, it’s going to be hard to top! I enjoyed it so much! At the King’s Pleasure by Kate Emerson is my first read of the year.
