The Queen Lady 1584 Surrey England Eve Edwards 9780141327334 Books

This is the 2nd book in the Lacey Chronicles series and revolves around James Lacey and Jane Perceval from the first book.
In this one Jane is newly widowed after marrying an elderly man in the hopes she could escape her father's schemes. She ends up going to court to be one of the Queen's ladies. And of course her father tries to coerce her into marrying a wealthy man again. She doesn't want to marry again, partly because she absolutely does not want to marry anyone her gold digging father chooses for her and partly because she is still in love with James Lacey, the Earl of Dorset's younger brother whom she hasn't seen since she broke off the engagement with the Earl.
James Lacey is newly returned from being a scout the Low Countries, haunted with all that he has seen of the war. On his brother's suggestion as a way to get out of his slump, he goes to court to join Walter Ralegh's ambitions to take a voyage to the Americas.
They meet again and James demands to know why Jane refused his brother, not knowing she did it because she could see how much Ellie and Will love each other. After that fateful meeting they once again become entwined in each others lives by various means and realize they may just suit after all.

This book was really really good too. I love Eve Edwards books! I just loved that we got to catch up with the main characters from the first book, even though they weren't the main characters in this one. This book also set up the main character for the third book as well as having a side story revolving around Diego, James' servant and Milly, Jane's friend from school, which I enjoyed as well. This series is quite good and I have high hopes for the third book, titled 'Rogue's Princess'. I can't wait to read it :)

The Queen Lady 1584 Surrey England Eve Edwards 9780141327334 Books Reviews

Lady Jane Revaulx's husband dies and she begins service as a Queen's Lady with Queen Elizabeth. She is thrilled to hear that James Lacey is attending court. She was in love with him despite being courted by his older brother before eventually marrying her previous husband.

James is attending court in preparation for a surveying journey to the America's. He meets Jane at a buffet with the Queen and at first is horrified to see her. She dropped his brother when courting and married a man with a higher title. Luckily for Jane she is able to convince him of the true story and they are able to become closer.

As James is leaving for America, Jane's world falls apart. Her father and brother are forcing her into a marriage with a wealthy french man and her step-son's are trying to take back everything her late husband left for her to start her life over with. Jane's friends come together to help her figure everything out... while James be able to get back in time?

I'm not going to tell..... -)

I didn't read the first book but Eve did a really good job at telling the back story so I wasn't lost. I love the historical stories and this one actually ties in with names and events. Jane's best friend has a spot doing the finishing work on dresses and I love the detail that the author did on the dresses. The ending of this story was a little rushed in my opinion but it is ok since I have the happier ever after that I want. I will look at the next book when it comes out in July 2012.

It has been months since Lady Jane Perceval (nee Rievaulx) last saw James Lacey, and much has changed in that time. Lady Jane refused to marry James's brother, Will (now the Earl of Dorset), knowing that his heart belonged to young Ellie Hutton. The couple have since welcomed an heir to Lacey House.

James and his faithful blackamoor servant, Diego, have campaigned for Elizabeth's army overseas and the young Master has returned home world-weary and haunted by all he has seen.

And Lady Jane has been widowed, with the passing of her dear friend and husband (in faith if not consummation) to stroke. Jane now finds herself at the mercy of her late husband's money-hungry sons, and so seeks refuge in Elizabeth's court as one of her ladies in waiting.

But one thing has remained steadfast all this time - Jane is still in love with James. And now an overseas campaign with the Queen's favourite, Walter Raleigh, sees James Lacey attend court at the Richmond Palace. It is here that he will once again come face-to-face with the only woman he has ever wanted, but could never have. First because she was betrothed to his brother and now because he is not fit company for her gentle self.

`The Queen's Lady' is the second book in Eve Edward's majestic young adult series, `Tudor Historical Romance'.

I adored Edward's first book in this series, `The Other Countess', and I eagerly anticipated the second book in her compelling new series . . .

It must be said that the historic setting is spectacular. When the YA scene is currently crowded with novels of dystopia, vampires and angels, Eve Edwards has stepped outside the trends and written an historic series that is invigoratingly original.
England during the reign of The Virgin Queen is an inspired timeline. There are still tensions between Catholics and Protestants; England is under conquering threat from the Spanish Armada and expanding her territories to the New World in retaliation. This time period is so fascinating, even more so for it being relatively untouched by the YA genre.

Eve Edwards leaves no stone unturned in this series. She explores every historic crevice - from the grand, to the mundane. James Lacey sets off to the New World to engage with the natives and help Walter Raleigh scout for new colonies. Lacey's manservant, the African blackamoor Diego, journeys with him to the New World and it's fascinating to read the juxtaposing thoughts of the slave and his master as they set their eyes on the rich lands of America.

Back in England, Lady Jane is in Elizabeth's court and must manoeuvre herself through various royal politics and practicalities. But many challenges are thrown before Jane; like her late husband's sons threatening her in the corridors, and unwanted amorous attentions from the Queen's favourite, Walter Raleigh.

The `Tudor Historical Romance' series is firmly imbedded in history, but it is never a history lesson. Eve Edwards never writes a dry fact, and she imbues this old world with spicy love stories and powerful characters. Clearly Edwards is a history-buff, but her characters are never lost amidst the grandiose timeline. Instead, Edwards places her characters at the forefront and interprets great expanses of history and conflict through their eyes.

I love the historic setting of `The Queen's Lady'. But I found myself more invested in the characters of first book `The Other Countess'.

I don't think we got enough of Jane's voice in this book. In `Countess' Ellie was a prominent and forceful narrator. She was a woman apart in her times - an alchemist's daughter with a sharp mind and sweet soul, at odds with her role as dutiful daughter and searching bride. In `Lady', Jane is overshadowed and often hushed by more compelling secondary characters who share the narrating spotlight, and in particular a secondary romance that plays alongside Jane and James's.

Milly Porter is Jane's childhood friend and independent businesswoman who runs her own seamstress business. James's manservant, Diego, used to serve the Porter household before Milly's father came into traitorous disgrace. When Diego and Milly reunite, there is instant chemistry and protestations of childhood love. I adored this storyline - not only for the forbidden romance between a young British seamstress and a foreigner blackamoor, but because Milly and Diego were such warm characters with a complicated past between them.

Then there is Christopher Turner, local playwright and actor who is friends with Milly, and also happens to be the illegitimate half-brother to the Lacey boys. Christopher `Kit' Turner is dramatic and passionate - a character close to Shakespeare who I am delighted has his own book in this series, coming out July this year.

All of these wonderful, second-fiddle characters enriched the story, but blunted Jane's character. I don't think Jane got enough fleshing out or inner monologues. I think that her life was rife with story - a widowed woman (only eighteen!) navigating her way through the Queen's court and trying to avoid her father's new wedding prospects for her. There is a lot of story here, but other characters got more page-time and often more interesting plots to play out. Furthermore, I didn't feel the same spark between James and Jane that I did between Will and Ellie. I don't think it is helped by the fact that James and Jane first met (and fell in love) in `The Other Countess', and Edwards relies a lot of their current attraction on past encounters from that book. Further hindering the spark of this romance is James's travels to the New World. . .

However, I loved this book. I'd love any YA book that allows a young man to say "En garde!" and mean it with deadly intent... Eve Edwards has captured a period in time and brought it to exuberant life. She has spiced the Elizabethan era with love triangles and unrequited lust as she writes about young people living in extraordinary times. Codpieces, swordfights and Armada's - oh my!
