The Queen's Lady by Shannon Drake

The Queen's Lady

by Shannon Drake

16th Century. She desired him above all others... Would he now be her executioner?

Lady Gwenyth Macleod has staked her fortune and her reputation to help Mary, Queen of Scots take her rightful place on the throne. But her struggle to guide the reckless, defiant queen has put her at perilous odds with Rowan Graham, a laird dangerously accomplished in both passion and affairs of state. And the more Gwenyth challenges his intentions, the less he can resist the desire igniting between them. Now, with her country in turmoil and treachery shadowing her every step, will Gwenyth's last daring gamble lead her to the ultimate betrayal-or a destiny greater than she could ever imagine?

This didn't quite hit the spot completely, it was interesting but it was more a historical novel than a romance novel and in some ways failed to be good in either. Set in Elizabethan England, this tells the story of Gwenyth who has just returned to Scotland with Mary Queen of Scots and finds herself trying to adapt to a different country where her religion could get her killed.

It's not a bad read but it just somehow doesn't quite hit the spot.
