The Barnes & Noble Review
Bestselling author Bertrice Small brings her Friarsgate Inheritance saga (Rosamund; Until You; Philippa) to a close with the story of beautiful, independent Elizabeth Meredith and her bumpy road to happiness. Since she was 14 and began to manage the family estate, Friarsgate, Elizabeth has been successful at everything but love. Her mother, Rosamund, finally sends her to the court of King Henry to find a husband. Her matchmaking uncle, Thomas Bolton, tries unsuccessfully to make Elizabeth truly court-worthy, yet she begins a flirtation with an unsuitable Scot and a friendship with Anne Boleyn. Once Elizabeth returns home, unwed, she resumes a budding relationship with Baen MacColl, another rugged Scot. The attraction catches fire, but Baen returns to Scotland out of loyalty to his father, not knowing Elizabeth is pregnant. How two stubborn people in love reconcile is part of the story's charm. Readers will also enjoy all the historical details of Anne Boleyn, from her rise to power, coronation, and downfall to the legend of her sixth finger. Ginger Curwen
New York Times bestselling author Bertrice Small concludes her acclaimed saga of Rosamund Bolton and her daughters with this tale of passion, intrigue, and seduction, set against the glorious backdrop of King Henry's court . . .
Elizabeth Meredith, the youngest daughter of Rosamund Bolton, is nothing like her sensible sisters. Impatient with fancy manners, the young beauty has shunned the royal court in favor of a quiet life at Friarsgate. But to protect the future of the land she loves, she must venture into the court of King Henry VIII to find a suitable husband.
Elizabeth soon scandalizes the court by forging a friendship with Anne Boleyn and by flirting with Flynn Stewart, bastard brother to King James V of Scotland. But her fate lies back at Friarsgate-as she has always known-where a weakness for Scots sends her into the strong arms of Baen MacColl. Yet Elizabeth's greatest passion is for her lands; and Baen's loyalties may lie elsewhere. Can they overcome the barriers threatening to separate them? And can Elizabeth, by following her heart, still protect Friarsgate?
Contains mature themes.
