I agree with the reviewer who was mystified at the portrayal of Elizabeth as a "weak, sniveling woman who can't function without her lover by her side." The first 3/4 of the book reads like a Harlequin romance/bodice ripper - lots of heaving bosoms, breathy sighs, forbidden caresses, and meaningful looks. Elizabeth wants/desires/must have Robert Dudley and no one else - despite the dangers to her and her country - and he's in love with having a shot at becoming King...we get it. I did love the ending, though - a fun and unexpected surprise. Unlike The Other Boleyn Girl and, in particular, The Boleyn Inheritance, this was somewhat boring and not really that well-written.
