  The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . EMMIE AND THE TUDOR KING (Hearts & Crowns, #1) . . . Interesting. Entertaining. I even laughed a bit. I was pulled in by Emmie. She was strong and independent on her own. Nick was interesting, but for me the show was all Emmie.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Natalie Murray. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.



One moment, Emmie is writing her high school history paper; the next, she is lost in 16th century England, where she meets a dreamy but dangerous Tudor king who is destined for a dreadful fate. 

Able to travel back to her own time but intensely drawn to King Nick and the mysterious death of his sister, Emmie finds herself solving the murder of a young princess and unravelling court secrets while trying to keep her head on her shoulders, literally. 

With everything to lose, Emmie will come to face her biggest battle of all: how to cheat the path of history and keep her irresistible king, or lose him - and her heart - forever.
