DOWNLOAD EBOOKSeventeen-year-old Henry VIII was 'a youngling, he cares for nothing but girls and hunting.' Over the years, this didn't change much. Henry was considered a demi-god by his subjects, so each woman he chose was someone who had managed to stand out in a crowd of stunning ladies. Looking good was not enough (indeed, many of Henry's lovers were considered unattractive); she had to have something extra special to keep the king's interest. And Henry's women were every bit as intriguing as the man himself. In this book, Henry's mistresses are rescued from obscurity. The sixteenth century was a time of profound changes in religion and society across Europe – and some of Henry's lovers were at the forefront of influencing these events. Kelly Hart gives an excellent insight into the love life of our most popular king, and the twelve women who knew the man behind the mask.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhy do men cheat? What do their wives put up with it? Who are the women they cheat with? Why do these women choose married men instead of single guys? Is it for money, sex, or love? In modern day China, marital infidelity is rampant and mistresses/second wives are prevalent. China's Second Wives offers an intimate look into China's second wife culture, a modern incarnation of the concubine tradition of feudal China. To uncover the mystery of this social phenomenon, the author infiltrated secret second-wife chatrooms as an undercover. She tracked down a second wife broker and a second wife lawyer. She interviewed friends, family, classmates, and strangers in the street. She mingled in the banquets of the power elite, male bastions where young mistresses were signs of prestige. She traversed big cities and small villages. As we follow the author on her exciting investigation journey, we embark on an unforgettable culture tour of contemporary China. One can't help but contemplate these universal themes in her own life - love and sex, money and power, gender conflict and dependency, marriage and infidelity, and the never ending pressure of life itself.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow to Beat My Husband's Mistress is the first book of its kind. While many women choose divorce in the face of infidelity, this book argues wives don't have to abandon their marriages, lives, or accomplishments, nor subject their children (if they have them) to the cruel effects of infidelity and divorce. Instead, it offers wives alternatives to beat their husbands' mistresses with dignity and class, without any physical or electronic contact. Why should you allow fellow women to beat you out of your home and marriage? You have everything in your power as a woman and as a wife to beat his mistress. You're not a quitter! You should take the bull by the horns, do what needs to be done, and beat the mistress out of your life and marriage for good.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKForget everything you thought you knew about Henry the Eighth. While Henry VIII has frequently been portrayed as a womanizer, author Philippa Jones reveals a new side to his character. Although he was never faithful, Jones sees him as a serial monogamist: he spent his life in search of a perfect woman, a search that continued even as he lay dying. This book brings together for the first time the 'other women' of King Henry VIII. When he first came to the throne, Henry VIII's mistresses were dalliances, the playthings of a powerful and handsome man. However, when Anne Boleyn disrupted that pattern, ousting Katherine of Aragon to become Henry's wife, a new status quo was established. Suddenly noble families fought to entangle the king with their sisters and daughters; if wives were to be beheaded or divorced so easily, the mistress of the king was in an enviable position. Yet he loved each of his wives and mistresses, he was a romantic who loved being in love, but none of these loves ever fully satisfied him; all were ultimately replaced. "The Other Tudors" examines the extraordinary untold tales of the women who Henry loved but never married, the mistresses who became queens and of his many children, both acknowledged and unacknowledged. Philippa Jones takes us deep into the web of secrets and deception at the Tudor Court and explores another, often unmentioned, side to the King's character.
