Book Description
28th January 1547.
It is almost midnight and the cream of the English nobility hold their breath as King Henry VIII prepares to face his God. As the royal physicians wring their hands and Archbishop Cranmer gallops through the frigid night, two dispossessed princesses pray for their father’s soul and a boy, soon to be king, snivels into his velvet sleeve.
Time slows, and dread settles around the royal bed, the candles dip and something stirs in the darkness … something, or someone, who has come to tell the king it is time to pay his dues.
The Kiss of the Concubine is the story of Anne Boleyn, second of Henry VIII’s queens.

Fatal! Like our Anne! Sutch joy to tead a bit off the story written. Would Love to embrace the all story till the end. Love, life and wisdom of the Most amazing woman in times.
Such a beautiful story only to end tragically for Anne.
It must of been awful for Elizabeth to lose her mother at three years old! However as we all know it would eventually be Anne who had the last laugh, and what a Golden Age it was.
Fab. You have a great lot of prizes!
I would love to win this book – looks like a great read!
Where does one keep a Tudor library with so many books available.
Sounds like another interesting Anne Boleyn story!
Ooh… I would love to add this to my collection. 🙂 I was unaware of this book.

Sounds interesting.
This sounds like a wonderful read.
another amazing sounding book.

Oh la la….would so enjoy reading this 🙂
I would love to read this book.
Anne Boleyn is one of those subjects I never tire of reading about
The cover is striking!! And the story sounds promising, too!
Oh yes, I’ve heard that on his deathbed Henry kept repeating: “Anne…..Anne Boleyn……”
But her name and she as a person overall was defiantely worth it. She was so amazing, simply breathtaking in her appearance both inside and outside. A part of her survived within Elizabeth and I think it was one of her greatest achievements. It would be a blast for me to know learn something about her, to discover her from a new point of view, to try to be in her shoes. She is one of the best rolemodels, because you can judge her as you like, but you got to admit – she changed Enland’s fate forever and also for that she got her name written in history of this country and maybe even world.
How could anyone be sick and tired of Henry VIII and his wives? Especially Anne Boleyn? I absolutely love this time period and the people. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this contest.
This looks like a good book. I’d love to read it! 🙂
You should never judge a book by its cover, but when the cover is this intriguing there is little choice.
Great contest! So many great books about the Tudors! 🙂
I had not heard of this book but I read the excerpt and now I very much want to read the entire book!
Anything on Anne Boleyn count me in!The novel looks quite interesting so I would love to read it.
The description of this book looks great!! I’ve always wondered if when Henry was passing if he had thoughts of Anne, and if he ever believed she was innocent after her death. I want this book!! Thanks for the opportunity again!
