Being a great fan of historical fiction, I was caught up in the fast-paced storyline and enjoyed the historical detail of the times. I recommend this fascinating story. It has it all, love, betrayal, secrets...

I can’t say I disliked this book, but I didn’t like it either!! The beginning was torturous in; it was slow.It kind of jumped around but got more interesting toward the middle of the book. The end of the book was predictable.
Written in a lively, lucid prose, the book includes not only the arc of Roxelana’s life and career but fascinating and comprehensible explanations of many complex historical phenomena, from elite slavery to the harem to Ottoman dynastic politics to international relations. Brilliant research enjoyed it immensely.

Whitney, My Love was an entertaining read. This page-turner kept me laughing and crying on the same page. McNaught’s ability to bring characters alive is remarkable. The characters were well developed and their story had great depth and intrigue, however; the story seemed to just continue on and on made me wondered what was the point?

I enjoyed the female point of view and the book was rich in detail and character development. Sometimes too rich and as a result, it dragged in places. I love how Marion Zimmer Bradley changes the usual story around. I loved it!

A well-written novel about Russian history and how its people interact within it’s rich and interesting culture. Rutherfurd makes the story of Russia come alive.

You can’t go wrong with Elizabeth Hoyt. Her characters are endearing. The writing style sublime. You genuinely care what happens! I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys historical romance!

Didn't love it, didn't hate it. The characters are rather flat and there are massive gaps in a plausible storyline. There is almost no narrative development.

The story is well written and historical information well documented. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it as an easy read.
