This may be on of my favorite history books ever! Sex and Sexuality in Georgian Britain, had me from the word sooterkins, yes it is an actual word. Lol I was so throughly entertained by this book and astonished by all the absurd thoughts people had about sex in the past. Even though 2020 has been an interesting year, I would take living in this age then living back in the day. Although I really wish it were true that my menstrual blood had magical powers such as controlling the weather and make knifes dull. It would make shark week even more interesting. Don’t let this book scare you because it’s a “history” book, because you will miss out on so much.

Having read another of Catherine's books, about George's daughter's, I kind of knew what I'd be getting, but this book far exceeded expectations. Perhaps it is just because the sons lead more colourful lives than their sisters, but this was much more interesting and gripping, and I had enjoyed the other book. I found i couldn't put this book down and, as due to the male line being the one to inherit, wanted to follow the line of ascension to learn more about those who did ascend, and those who just came close. I would heartedly recommend this book, not just to those who have a love of history as I do, but also others who just want to read the ridiculous stories of what these men got up to.

Very enjoyable. In the past, I had read about the daughters in Princesses by Flora Fraser and enjoyed it. That gave me some kind of background for this book, but I enjoyed it a lot more. It starts off with a general info of birth order and those things of them in the nursery, then each princesses gets a separate part. It wasn't a lengthy dive into their lives and every minute detail of it, but it was very good at giving me a general basis. Yet again, another book I'd like to own from this publisher!

I Enjoyed everything about this book there was nothing I didn't like about the book. I Like the setting, the writing style, the plot, the plot twists and the characters in the book were amazing. I would gladly reread it again.

The book does a great job of detailing more about them and what they did and gives examples with some of those caught and prosecuted for their crimes. There were some colourful characters in action at that time for sure!
I thought that the book was well written and it was very well researched, the author clearly knows her topic very well and it came across when I was reading.
It is 4 stars from me for this one, I really enjoyed it and it definitely caught my interest – highly recommended!
