Generally, I have fallen in love with most of Gregory's stories about Henry VIII's wives so I guess I was expecting too much from this series of books. Although, the book was okay, it definitely was not as good as her books on the royal family or even the gardeners of the royal family. I just never got really got hooked on the story of Beatrice, even though she was certainly an unusual character. She came off pretty much as a spoiled bitch and it was hard to find any sympathy for her. Everything that happened to her was brought on by her own selfish acts. Even though I am going to try to read the other two books in this series, I intend to wait awhile and see if they are better after an absence of Gregory's writing.
