I wanted to thank the Net Galley for the free copy of the book for review. This is an unbiased review.

I must be honest, I did not know much about this "royal" couple when I obtained the book, so my very limited knowledge was vague, at best. I found this to be based on some facts and decent primary and secondary sources, but also a bit off-putting in the way it was arranged.

There were some organizational issues that confused me as a reader and I feel there was some bias in the way the relationship was portrayed to the reader. (I definitely feel as if there were pieces important to the story that were skimmed over and missed entirely). I certainly felt the author's passion for Mrs. Wallis, but maybe the biographical format wasn't the best way to get across that love.
