The Countess and The King by Susan Holloway Scott. I have read 2 of her other books about Sarah Churchill and Nell Gwynn. This one is about Katherine Sedley Countess of Dorchester and King James II, but through most of the book he is the Duke of York. There is so much about this period that the author glosses over, history lite I would call it, the facts are there, but little else. It is a love story but I didn't feel it. Though Katherine's character is fairly well fleshed out, no one else's really was. Written in first person, 2.5 stars
