2011 NF Release: ROYAL PAINS by Leslie Carroll

Woo Hoo....was I excited to come acrthis badboy this morning.  The new NF book by Leslie Carroll, author of Notorius Royal Marriages and Royal Affairs, is ROYAL PAINS: A Rogues’ Gallery of Brats, Brutes, and Bad Seeds and will be released on March 1, 2011.

SYNOPSIS:  The bad seeds on the family trees of the most powerful royal houses of Europe often became the most rotten of apples: über-violent autocrats Vlad the Impaler and Ivan the Terrible literally reigned in blood. Lettice Knollys strove to mimic the appearance of her cousin Elizabeth I and even stole her man. And Pauline Bonaparte scandalized her brother Napoleon by having a golden goblet fashioned in the shape of her breast. Chock-full of shocking scenes, titillating tales, and wildly wicked nobles, Royal Pains is a rollicking compendium of the most infamous, capricious, and insatiable bluebloods of Europe.

  4. Don't you just love this cover? "Brats, Brutes, and Bad Seeds" just says it all. Until the rest of us can lay hands on a copy, I guess we'll just have to wait for your review!
