The hawk and the dove by virginia henley5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But James is otherwise too busy fucking his way through Oxbridge and finding hookers to teach the Prince of Wales how to fuck.Īnne is the youngest child of her father’s second marriage and has to deal with the uber-bitchery of her half-sister who is a lady-in-waiting to Queen Victoria, and the whole book is interspersed with scenes of Queen Victoria bemoaning the maturity level of her Crown Prince and controlling the shit out of everyone in her kingdom. Anne eventually becomes lady-in-waiting and chief confident of Alexandra, princess of Wales.Īnne and James’ families, in the way of the peerage, have know each other for ever, and Anne falls in love with James at the age of 12 because he tells her that she’s a beautiful wild Irish rose. James is BFF, attendant, and general cover-er of the Royal Ass of HRH the Prince of Wales. This is the story of James Hamilton, heir to the Duke of Alcorn, and Lady Anne Curzon-something, daughter of the Earl of something else. ![]() What I don’t know is why I kept hoping this book would turn a corner and become readable. I like Henley and her habit of slathering on crazysauce sprinkles on top of the crazy sauce fondant covering the crazy sauce cake (Remember that time where the villain got choked to death by leeches? That was awesome). I have a really scary pile of ARCs and this was one I wanted to read and then send it out in to the world. ![]()
