Listened to this on audio. The narration was really good.

I didn't love this book though. It had a lot of interesting information but it was difficult to keep track of everyone and who was who with how the book was organized. Each chapter deals with a certain aspect of being a mistress to a king and within that chapter there is a lot of different women both mistresses and queens and the kings.

Also, while this is stated to focus on European kings and their mistresses, which it does, it's overwhelming mainly french kings and their mistresses. There are other's mentioned but it keeps going right back to the french monarchs.
