Publisher Description
Hilary Mantel meets Sylvia Day: the first instalment in a deliciously erotic trilogy, set against the sumptuous backdrop of the scandal-ridden Tudor Court.
England, 1536
Bound to him against her will...
Lord Wolf, hardened soldier and expert lover, has come to King Henry VIII's court to claim his new bride: a girl who has intrigued him since he first saw her riding across the Yorkshire moors.
Eloise Tyrell, now lady-in-waiting to Queen Anne Boleyn, has other ideas. She has no desire to submit to a man she barely knows and who - though she is loath to admit it - frightens her not a little.
Then comes that first kiss...
It awakens in both a fierce desire that bares them to the soul. But as the court erupts into scandal around the ill-fated Queen, Eloise sees first-hand what happens when powerful men tire of their wives.
Dare she surrender her body and her heart?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Moss's workmanlike first Lust in the Tudor Court historical pours strong emotion into various stock romance situations. When Eloise witnesses the flirtations of Queen Anne, Eloise is horrified to realize she herself now harbors a dangerous secret. Her father arranges a marriage for her, shattering her romantic dreams of eloping with a young courtier. Worse, her husband is to be the formidable Lord Wolf. Though the story is predictable and the characters are unsurprising, Moss makes up for it with steamy romance, wild passion, and bitter jealousy. Intertwined with the tragic fate of Anne Boleyn, there is enough melodrama to make for a pleasant distraction, if not an absorbing narrative. Eloise and Wolf's childish spats and willful miscommunications raise the tension but not the stakes, so the merry resolution seems tacked on, but the spicy interludes throughout will please fans of erotic romance.
