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?
Goodreads Summary
Those familiar with this time in history that truly enjoy reading on the royal families will feel right at home with this novel. We have deceit, secret love, and betrayal all wrapped up in a very well written package. The history is very intense and the romance is steamy enough to keep readers into this genre captivated and interested all the way through.
The danger is real and the tension is so thick at times, that not even the sharpest knife could cut through very easily. You don't play games in Henry VIII's court and when fishy business starts, the interesting part of the story begins. I really liked the historical fiction and diving into the world of the royal families as this is a rich time of history that always interests me. Whether or not the details of the story are 100% true to history, the details the author adds to the writing allow the readers to have an amazing mental image of the scenery and what is going on. You should definitely look into "Brazen," and let the royal games begin.

I have really got to read these books. I have Gilt sitting on my shelf, but I will admit that I am a little hesitant about historical novels. I have started trying them more often lately though, and I actually enjoy them more than I thought I would. I have heard amazing things about these about this author, and I am interested in trying her books for myself!

- I'm a young college student who has probably read over 5000 books over the course of my short life; some of the books were classics, some of the books were terrific, and some of the books were...misses. Even with the latter part I will always believe in the power of books to completely remove the reader from his/her present reality. Long Live Books! I would love to read and review books from just about any genre. To contact me: edysicecreamlover18 AT gmail DOT com Thank you for your interest! At this time, I can only accept paperback or hardcover. The finished review copies I receive are either kept in my personal collection or donated to several libaries, schools, or charities-I have no control over the finished review copies after donation. *I claim no ownership for any images used on this site.
