Royal Affairs by Leslie Carroll

As the subtitle implies, this book is, "A Lusty Romp through the extramarital Adventures that Rocked the British Monarchy." What a fun read! The book spans the entire history of the British monarchy from 1154 with Henry II and Rosamond de Clifford to present day with Charles, Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles. I'm a sucker for historical romance and this book has just the right amount of historical fact and juicy gossip. Even if you're not a big history buff this book is full of strong, successful (in a matter of speaking) woman who will definitely leave an impression on you, after all they all caught the eye of a King! So from scheming villainesses to international spies to politicians and actresses, these women will entertain!
