This is the story of Amber St Clair and her love for Bruce - a returning Cavalier after the Restoration of King Charles II. After meeting Bruce at the village inn, she follows him to London. This is the beginning of her adventure, leading her to become one of the king's mistresses despite loving Bruce. I believe that the book was considered rather "naughty" when it was first published. I named my daughter Amber in 1974 and one of the hospital staff remarked "fancy calling her Amber. I hope she doesnt live up to her name"! I bought this book for her and she enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend.

I've waited so long to read this novel and enjoyed every minute of this very well written story, didn't want to put it down. Can see why it was banned at its first time of release but found the characters charming & fascinating.

Read this for the first time when I was fourteen and I am now 70. I am enjoying it as much, if not more, than I did then. A real page turner set in the times of Charles ll. It’s one of those books you don’t want to end.

It is personally special to me as I read it when I was 15 and now I’m 73 but Amber still comes back to life just as she was then the book never dates as it was very well written back in 1944 and Kathleen Winsor captured all the every day life of the ordinary people then as well as Royalty life in Charles II reign. I can still not put this book down, still compelled to keep reading its as fresh as it was when I read it years ago, and I am a reader that never reads a book twice .
