Sex with Kings by Eleanor Herman
3.0
3 stars - It was good.
Mistress Virginie di Castiglione once stated "The more I see of men, the more I love dogs." Reading about the history of men making befuddled fools of themselves in the name of lust makes it incredibly easy to agree with that statement.
This made for an entertaining, though also disheartening read about vacuous men and jealous wives throwing tantrums over their unworthy partners. It's amazing how 1000 years later, the more things change the more they stay the same.

Favorite Quote: One grows accustomed to beauty, but not to stupid-ity.
First Sentence: If prostitution is the world's oldest profession, then the finer art of being a mistress must be the second oldest.
