The Doublet Affair: An Ursula Blanchard Mystery at Queen Elizabeth I's CourtA tantalizing re creation of Elizabethan life and manners told with intelligence and wit, raved Library Journal upon the publication of To Shield the Queen, the volume that introduced twenty six year old Ursula Blanchard, Lady of the Presence Chamber to Queen Elizabeth I, and one of the most entrancing mystery heroines to come along in many a season. Young Ursula knows it can be treacherous easing herself into the petty foibles at court, but now,

A tantalizing re-creation of Elizabethan life and manners told with intelligence and wit, raved Library Journal upon the publication of To Shield the Queen, the volume that introduced twenty-six-year-old Ursula Blanchard, Lady of the Presence Chamber to Queen Elizabeth I, and one of the most entrancing mystery heroines to come along in many a season.

Young Ursula knows it can be treacherous easing herself into the petty foibles at court, but now, having once saved the Virgin Queen from political disaster, she faces an even greater challenge. Sortie of Ursula's old acquaintances may be plotting to overthrow Elizabeth in favor of Mary, Queen of Scots, and the re-establishment of the Catholic faith. Ardent, some would say fanatical, believers will stop at nothing -- smuggling, counterfeiting, civil war, perhaps murder -- to further their cause. One of Elizabeth's spies is already dead and the clues to his death point in a troubling direction.

Most disturbing to Ursula is whether her old friends Ann and Leonard Mason could be mixed up in a treasonous plot against the Queen. There have been rumors that all is not as it should be with the Masons.

Secretary of state Sir William Cecil needs his own spy in the Mason home and Ursula is the obvious choice, She knows the family, she can justify her visit by helping to care for the Masons' five children, and she can perhaps use her newly acquired skill at lockpiching to uncover some surprising truths.

Torn between her devotion to Elizabeth, still a young woman like herself, and her longing to be reunited with her exiled Catholic husband, Matthew, in France, Ursula makes a difficult bargain that balances personal happiness against duty to Queen and country. Her journey takes her into dangerous territory eventually into the underground cells of the Tower of London itself Whatever happens, she will never again be quite as trusting or quite as secure.

Not a fan of this one
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am not a fan of this product. As many of the reviews noted, the flavor is very strong. I was surprised it wasn't more minty. This is a very herbal concoction. It also tastes of the other very strong herbs, especially the rosemary. According to the instructions, this product should be used once a day for 30 seconds. I prefer a product I can use twice a day for 45 seconds to a minute. My experience is that it takes 30 seconds just to crush it up enough to swish it around and I don't have enough saliva in the morning due to overnight dry mouth. I have to add a little water. The tablets never crush completely and leave a mess in the sink that has to be carefully rinsed away. If I use them more often, my mouth dries out too much and tastes like the tablets all day long. It's not a bad taste but I expect it to go away after a half-hour (or so). They are really chalky. The container isn't bad, but doesn't pour 1 tablet out at a time. Meh. I don't like touching a bunch of them each time. There is a desiccant packet in with the tablets to protect them. I am not sure this would stay closed during travel or be allowed on a plane in carry-on. It should travel ok otherwise because it's not a liquid, but I haven't tried it. I will probably not buy this product again, but in all honesty, I have bought far worse products and been disappointed far more by them.

Its like they knew what I prayed for🙏🏽
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Okay, let me start by saying I am a huge skeptic. I need to research things to the nine's and read legit reviews before I buy anything new. I have had cavities from a very young age and receeding gumlines all my life. At age 50, I have gone all natural, got rid of everything toxic, and got really healthy. I have been listening to Dr. HUBERMAN podcast on you tube and found one he did on oral health. He gets very detailed about how to heal your oral health. He spoke specifically about hydroxyapetite and xylitol and their benefits. I then started searching for mouthwashes with these ingredients because i am seriously concerned my teeth are going to fall out from these receeding gums. I have been told all my life there was nothing you can do. I knew in my gut that was a lie. I knew there had to be a way to heal our mouths naturally. Then found BOKA. I got them. I tried them. I lOVE THEM! They are perfect! They are minty fresh, easy to use, makes my mouth feel clean and if they actually do heal my mouth....then awesome sauce! I read all the reviews. I see the after taste. But, i think its a personal choice. I like the after taste. It tastes and feels like a clean mouth. I feel the tinglyness. Yes. But I believe from my health and science background it is the mint, aloe, probiotics and everything else stimulating the skin and blood to start the regeneration of skin and mineral. Im happy to report back again in a month or so with outcome plus before and after photos👍🏽
