~*~*~

Advance praise for The Darling Strumpet!

“Richly engaging portrait of the life and times of one of history’s most appealing characters!” – Diana Gabaldon, author of the best-selling Outlander series

“Bawdy and poignant … an ebullient page-turner!” – Leslie Carroll, author of Royal Affairs

“Hard to resist this sort of seduction – a Nell Gwynn who pleasures the crowds upon the stages of London and the noblest men of England in their bedrooms. A vivid portrait of an age that makes our own seem prudish, told with verve, humour, pathos… and not a little eroticism.” – C.C. Humphreys, Actor and Author of Jack Absolute.

The Darling Strumpet

Witty and beautiful, Nell was born into poverty but is drawn into the enthralling world of the theater, where her saucy humor and sensuous charm earn her a place in the King’s Company. As one of the first actresses in the newly-opened playhouses, she catapults to fame, winning the affection of legions of fans-and the heart of the most powerful man in all of England, the King himself. Surrendering herself to Charles, Nell will be forced to maneuver the ruthless and shifting allegiances of the royal court-and discover a world of decadence and passion she never imagined possible.

The September Queen

The unbelievable true escapade of the ordinary English girl who saved the King and the monarchy.

Both coming from Berkley Publishing Group in 2011.

  1. I have been seeing this book everywhere online and it looks amazing. Definitely want to read.

  2. This book sounds really good. I like this subject to read about in a book. I have yet to read a book by this author so have added her name to my list.

  3. I have never read anything by Gillian, but The Darling Strumpet sounds interesting and the cover is nice.

  4. I think I fell in love with this book simply by it’s name. It sounds wonderful and it reminded me of when I was a younger (much younger) woman. I truly would have loved to be a strumpet! Problem – too short and too round. Oh well, maybe in a future life!

    I’m just going to have to read the book to find out all that I missed out on.

  5. The Darling Strumpet sounds like a fantastic story and the more I hear about it, the more I’m eager to read it.

  6. Absolutely love the things I’ve read so far about this book. Nell Gwynn has me curious and interested in reading her life. Please enter me. This is on my TRL.

  7. I know we are not suppose to judge a book by it’s cover. This just looks soooo scrumptious! LOL!

  8. I already have THE DARLING STRUMPET and can’t wait to read it. The reviews have been terrific.
    I look forward to the release THE SEPTEMBER QUEEN.
