Stats

Genre: Adult historical romance (fiction)

Series length: Each is a standalone book

Violence: Moderate to moderately high, according to the time period and historical facts (in short, the author does not sanitize history)

Magic/Supernatural: Only that which is supported by history

Romance/Sex: High romance, as both of these are love stories. Luther also contains extra strong elements, with some fairly bluntly discussions/scenes pertaining to rape and the consummation of marriage, according to the traditions of the time.

Christian/spiritual element: Explicit and overt

Recommendation: Readers who would like to learn about a different aspect of these famous men and about the women they loved.
