A well paced story with interesting characters that will hopefully be in the next book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The forth book about the wives of Henry V111 is about the German princess Anna of Kleeve. This is a fictional look about Anna’s life and how she survived the terror of Henry. Anna went to England to be the Queen but her reign was short because Henry did not like her and eventually fell for her maid, Katherine Howard. Anna is set aside and treated as the King’s sister. Throughout the rest of his reign,Anna has to worry her household and mediate between squabbles between servants. She has a secret child with her first love back in Kleeve, and Anna eventually brings her son to her household in England, even though his identity has to be a secret. Anna lives to see her friend Mary become Queen and she passes away in the home she loved. While a fictional telling of Anna’s life, the story was interesting and Anna comes to life through it. The historical details were well done and it is a credit to Anna that she survived Henry. The plot does slow at some points, but it was a good book.  ⭐️⭐️⭐

On top of that, Winnie has to date men from an online app in order to help Juliette with inspiration for her next play.

The romance was good, but sometimes it felt rushed.

Her paths cross with her ex, Chris, who is a former cop and together they investigate something that cost a number of lives already. As they get closer to the truth, powerful forces in the dark underbelly of politics and entertainment try to stop them.  I liked the twist at the end but the rest of the story fell flat to me.  ⭐️⭐️

Bel was only a baby when her mother, Rachel, disappeared and she and her father has lived in the aftermath of that event for years. When a filmmaker decides to do a documentary about Rachel’s disappearance, Bel is less than thrilled to have to participate. The filming brings up difficult memories for Bel and her father, Charlie, who was acquitted of Rachel’s murder but some still harbor suspicions about him. One day Rachel reappears and upends Bels life. Rachel wants to pick up her relationship with Bel, but Bel suspects Rachel is hiding something. When her father disappears, Bel thinks it justifies her suspicions about Rachel, but Bel finds things are not what they seem. Bel finds out what really happened to Rachel and who took her and it changes Bel and her family.  The story had good twists and was paced well. I do think it would have helped to have Rachel’s viewpoint too and not just Bel’s, because I think it would have been better to show it through Rachel instead of her explainin
