The Lady in the Tower ~ Marie-Louise Jensen

 

Spring 1540. Eleanor's mother is imprisoned in the Lady Tower after a terrible accusation. For four years Eleanor's only comfort has been their secret notes to one another. But then a chance discovery reveals a plot to murder her mother and Eleanor must free her before it is too late

One of my favourite parts about this book was that it is based on true events. It was really interesting but also fun to read.

Eleanor and Lord Stanton are incredibly cute together. I liked how there was a tension between them even when Eleanor found him incredibly annoying (I disagreed but she had her reasons). They seemed to have a connection the first time they met and I found his concern/care for her was sweet.

I also really liked her relationship with her mother and how strong their bond was. There was nothing they wouldn't do for each other.
 I found her father a really vile character, verging on evil, and her brother was, although not intentionally mean, you s ignorance of the situation irritated me.

I love this book so much, it is one of the authors best. It was faced paced, the characters were well developed and the plot was interesting. I didn't want to put it down. I would very highly recommend it.

As usual, please comment suggestions on how I could improve my reviews of which books I should review next xXx
