Anne and Henry

I bought "Anne and Henry" by Dawn Ius from a book sale at my local library. Again, this one took me a while to read also (that only happens because I have a long list of TBR stuff and sometimes, I have priority-reads).

"Anne and Henry" is a..."fanfiction"...a modern retelling of the infamous love story between Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII. I don't know much about European history (thanks to our wonderful public education system in the states), but I loved, loved this book. It made me want to know more about what was real, what was creative license.

["Henry Tudor’s life has been mapped out since the day he was born: student body president, valedictorian, Harvard Law School, and a stunning political career just like his father’s. But ever since the death of his brother, the pressure for Henry to be perfect has doubled. And now he’s trapped: forbidden from pursuing a life as an artist or dating any girl who isn’t Tudor-approved.

Then Anne Boleyn crashes into his life.

Wild, brash, and outspoken, Anne is everything Henry isn’t allowed to be—or want. But soon Anne is all he can think about. His mother, his friends, and even his girlfriend warn him away, but his desire for Anne consumes him.

Henry is willing to do anything to be with her, but once they’re together, will their romance destroy them both?"]
