[quote=""boswellbaxter""]Now I'm confused. I was speaking of Sister Queens by Julia Fox, which is a nonfiction book about Catherine of Aragon and Juana, Queen of Castile:

There's a novel by Sophie Perinot about Eleanor of Provence and Marguerite, but I haven't read it yet:

Just ordered Maggie Stiefvater's werewolf trilogy - Shiver, Linger, Forever - from Amazon, who are doing an exclusive boxed set at little more than the price of one book, and have just ordered "Trade Winds" by Christina Courtenay from marketplace, as I've just bought the sequel.

Too many to list, but there's been a ton of interesting HF and HF going free on Kindle over at Amazon. I'm not sure what's going on, but I suspect it's tied into their new loan program for Prime Members. I'll snap up a free book and the next day it's listed at $2.99, but free for Prime. Good lists to book mark and check regularly are Best Selling Romanceand Best Selling HF. The free ones are listed in the right column.

This one looks very promising. Anyone heard of it?
