Add to GR Button

I have served three queens in my life. One was my sister, one was my savior, and one my bitterest enemy.

Knowing she was seen as a threat to the Queen she served, Lady Katherine Grey, legitimate heir to the throne, longs only for the comfort of a loving marriage and a quiet life far from the intrigue of the Tudor court. After seeing her sister become the pawn of their parents and others seeking royal power and then lose their lives for it, she is determined to avoid the vicious struggles over power and religion that dominate Queen Elizabeth’s court. Until she finds love—then Kat is willing to risk it all, even life in prison.
My Review
Five Stars
Copy Received from Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours
First, I have to say that the gorgeous cover grabbed my attention from the beginning but the fantastic writing, engaging story line and search for love kept me hooked.  The Tutors are just so delicious!  They were very interesting and never had a dull moment.  I heard E. Knight's "Behind  the Plaid" and I was hooked by her story telling.  So when "Prisoner of the Queen" became available I couldn't wait to see how she would tell the story of Lady Katherine Grey.  I honestly knew nothing about her.  I knew of her sister, famously dubbed the "9 day queen" but had no idea who her sister was.  I loved that the author told the story from first person point of view because it made me feel like I was getting personal and intimate details from Lady Katherine.  I really liked Knight's portrayal of Lady Katherine.  She showed her evolution from a frighten young girl, married to a man she did not know all for the sake of duty.  Watching Lady Katherine fight for her love for Edward Seymour was beautiful.  

I'm a sucker for romance and love so this book hit all the right spots.  I loved this beautiful story.  I loved the writing and I was unable to put it down.  I kept wondering what would happen next, how it would all work out , would it work out? Lastly, I personally really love Elizabeth and think that Knight portrayed her much more harshly than  I would imagine her to be but Elizabeth's harshness really played well into the story and it also made sense.  I could not recommend or like this book enough!
