Entertaining historical book that has details about royalty and the complications that it can sometimes bring. Love knows no status or can pick and choose what happens to. There are several twists and turns in this story. Hard to put down. Good read.

I've never read anything about Frances Stuart so this was a learning experience as well as a pleasure. She was a silly but strong woman who was pursued by a king but kept her pride and stayed strong to herself. The writing was well done and easy to read. This is a good historical fiction that follows history and makes the reader want to see what comes next. La Belle Stuart sounds like a fascinating woman in a troubling time. Very enjoyable.
