My Review:
Plantagenet Princess, Tudor Queen: The Story Elizabeth of York is my introduction to Samantha Wilcoxson and her work. I loved reading Elizabeth’s story and the author’s vivid details and descriptions of the people, setting and time period. It is obvious she did her research. I enjoyed seeing how Elizabeth lived in that turmoil she went through.
Plantagenet Princess, Tudor Queen is one of my favorite Tudor era books I have read. I look forward to more by this author in the future.
Highly recommended.
5+ stars.

My Review:
Faithful Traitor: The Story of Margaret Pole is the second installment from Samantha Wilcoxson‘s Plantagenet Embers series. I enjoyed spending my time with Margaret. I could not imagine the life she had in the lifelong fear she must have endured. The story is so well written that I found myself going to my computer to do searches to see if certain events really did happen.
This is a great read that I highly recommend and I look forward to read book 3 other series.
5+ stars.

Queen of Martyrs: The Story of Mary I
Blurb (from Amazon):
'God save the Queen! God save our good Queen Mary!'
When these words rang out over England, Mary Tudor thought her troubles were over. She could put her painful past - the loss of her mother and mistreatment at the hands of her father - behind her.
With her accession to the throne, Mary set out to restore Catholicism in England and find the love of a husband that she had long desired. But the tragedies in Mary's life were far from over. How did a gentle, pious woman become known as 'Bloody Mary'?

My Review:
Queen of Martyrs: The Story of Mary I is book 3 from the Plantagenet Embers series. I can not tell how much I love this series and this one did not disappoint. I enjoyed seeing a new perspective of Queen Mary I. I learned more about her by reading this book. I actually liked her and felt sorry for her in this story.
Like the others in the series, Queen of Martyrs is well written and easy to read. I have no problem telling other readers about the series, without having to worry whether or not one would be offended by the language or explicit scenes.
A great and clean book and series. I highly recommend it.
5+ stars.
