The Taming of the Queen by Philippa Gregory

Goodreads Blurb:Why would a woman marry a serial killer?

Because she cannot refuse…

Kateryn Parr, a thirty-year-old widow in a secret affair with a new lover, has no choice when a man old enough to be her father who has buried four wives – King Henry VIII – commands her to marry him.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: Ding Dong the bastard’s dead. I’m not going to mark that as a spoiler, this is a historical novel about the Queen that survived Henry VIII, it should be kind of obvious how it’s going to end. I’d recommend this book to anyone who loves political intrigue and the farce it all becomes when your king is mad. Warning: There is a rape scene near the end.
