    Yet another young female has caught the eye of the aging King Henry Tudor.

    This time it is fifteen-year-old Catherine Howard, cousin to Anne Boleyn. Less than a year has passed since her
    arrival at court, and she is now the Queen of England. Catherine's new life of luxury and being the king's "rose
    without a thorn" is different.

    But Catherine's past haunts her, so she must be careful. She dreams of that kiss she shared with her (distant)
    cousin, Thomas Culpeper. A perfect kiss. Her relations with other men. But all must stay a secret, or death
    caused by treason could come her way.

    Being the huge historical fiction fan I am, I just had to buy this book when I could find it around. This was one of
    the novels I couldn't put down, because I really wanted to continue on and find out what was going to happen.

    There isn't much else to say, aside from I loved THE KING'S ROSE. If you enjoy historical fiction, you should
    definitely check this one out.
