The story of the "secret" wife of George IV is interesting. I imagine this person must be a historical figure, though barely heard of in the US.
This is my second Haeger book and although I enjoy the detail of her historical fiction, I think I've reached my saturation point with her repetitive, overblown style. Unimaginitive characterization, repetitive and ham-handed dialogue and a kind of adolescent breathlessness begins to grate on one's nerves after about the third chapter. More than anything, this book cries out for rigourous editing.
If you enjoy your bodice-rippers with a dash of historicity you might like this one. But for that kind of read, I much prefer Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series.
