#BookReview: Emmie and the Tudor King by @natmurrayauthor @CrushLiterary


Synopsis: One moment, Emmie is writing her high school history paper; the next, she's sitting with a gorgeous 16th century king who vacillates from kissing her to ordering her execution.





Able to travel back to her own time, but intensely drawn to King Nick and the mysterious death of his sister, Emmie finds herself solving the murder of a young princess and unraveling court secrets while trying to keep her head on her shoulders, literally.






With everything to lose, Emmie finds herself facing her biggest battle of all: How to cheat the path of history and keep her irresistible king, or lose him—and her heart—forever

About the Author: Natalie Murray has been writing to make people smile ever since her short story 'A Dog Story with a Happy Ending' won first prize in a writing competition when she was eight (she didn’t quite understand titles and spoilers then!). Now slightly *cough* older, Natalie is irreversibly committed to writing novels she loves to read: anything involving high-stakes adventure, touches of history or fantasy, and star-crossed lovers with buckets of exquisite angst.

After completing a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Communications at Australia’s Griffith University, Natalie landed the role of entertainment reporter for Sky News Australia and New Zealand, interviewing such high-profile personalities as Elton John, Angelina Jolie, Sylvester Stallone, Dustin Hoffman, Cameron Diaz, Matt Damon and Jerry Seinfeld. She’s also worked as a corporate copywriter, Bollywood movie dancer, and dementia care worker, but Natalie knows what she loves doing most of all: looking after her family and writing YA romance fiction.

When she’s not writing, you can find Natalie clinging to her family (literally; she’s super affectionate), packing or unpacking a suitcase, forgetting to update her website at www.nataliemurrayauthor.com.

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
My Review: I wasn't to sure how I was going to feel about this title but shortly into it I fell in love.  This one has all the feels of Outlander but for the young adult crowd. It was well paced and was very understandable.  I am a big fan of the tv shows of The White Queen, The White Princess, and the new Spanish Princess so when I learned this one was about the Tudors I was even more excited.   


The characters in this one were wonderful and the story wrapped up pretty well that if there wasn't a book two I would be happy with how this one ended.  However, I have been informed by the author that a book two is in the works.  Which makes me even happier!! 

If you love a coming of age story about a girl who finds her way through time.  As well as alternative energy then check this one out because it won't let you down!! 





Go Into This One Knowing: Slight Cliffhanger, No Love Triangle, All the Feels, Swoony! 







"A tale of two teens torn between desire and duty, Murray's novel is rich with raw emotion and timeless ideals of sacrifice and loyalty... From prison beds to palace ballrooms, Emmie and the Tudor King is an inspiring young adult romance. More than just another tearjerker, it is a tale of hardship, second chances, and the power to change."
--Foreword Reviews

"A swashbuckling, romantic adventure story about time travel and a love that spans four centuries, Emmie and the Tudor King is an absolute pleasure."
--C.J. Flood, award-winning author of Infinite Sky and Nightwanderers
"Fast-paced time travel romp through Tudor England...Murray does a good job showing readers the conditions in the infamous Tower of London, the clothing, the courtly intrigues, a jousting match, and even an execution for treason...Fans of Doctor Who and 16th century England are sure to enjoy this story."
--YA Books Central
"This was such a fun book. Emmie and Nick were adorable together, obviously, but it was the plot itself that really shined. There was a bit of Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court mixed with swoony romance and it was a delight to read. I was kept guessing and just couldn't put it down. I adored the way Emmie's life in the past paralleled her modern life and the way she forged relationships, and it was all really well done. I'm so happy I got to read it."
--Felicia Grossman, author of Appetites & Vices and Dalliances & Devotion
