About the book:
Violante isn’t supposed to be here, in one of the grandest courts of Renaissance Italy. She isn’t supposed to be a lady-in-waiting to the beautiful Lucrezia Borgia. But the same secretive politics that pushed Lucrezia’s father to the Vatican have landed Violante deep in a lavish landscape of passion and ambition.
Violante discovers a Lucrezia unknown to those who see only a scheming harlot, and all the whispers about her brother, Cesare Borgia, never revealed the soul of the man who dances close with Violante.
But those who enter the House of Borgia are never quite the same when they leave—if they leave at all. Violante’s place in history will test her heart and leave her the guardian of dangerous secrets she must carry to the grave.

You know, depending on my mood, there are a few different ones that can always fit the bill. I've enjoyed Phillipa Gregory's Tudor books when I'm looking for some royal fiction. I really like James R. Benn's historical mysteries that take place during WWII. Thanks for the info and chance to win!

Robin Maxwell has written great historical fiction which I enjoy. rojosho(at)hotmail(dot)com
Some of the first historical fiction I read was by Mark Twain and Margaret Mitchell. I still come back to liking Gone With The Wind and never tire of it.

My favorite historical fiction author is Hannah Howell. The first historical romance I ever read was by Hannah and I have been hooked ever since.
Lavina from 'The Kitchen House" is my favorite so far. I love English, French and Italian Historcial Fiction but would love to have more
written about United States and Asian historical figures. Variety is the spice of life!

My favorite HF author is of course Jean Plaidy! That woman was amazing I don't see how she wrote so many books in her lifetime and under multiple pseudonyms!
