Sandra Gulland has written 3 excellent books on the life of Josephine Bonaparte.
Book 1 - The Many Lives & Secret Sorrows of Josephine B.
Book 2 - Tales of Passion, Tales of Woe
Book 3 - The Greatest Dance on EarthVery enjoyable & easy to read.
They're historical fiction based on the life of Josephine B.
I also enjoyed Desiree very much (got it from the library; not sure of author). About Napoleon's fiance (who Josephine unknowingly replaced).
I'd actually suggest reading Desiree first.

> Hey I just finished reading I, Elizabeth by Rosalind Miles and I was wondering if anybody had suggestions as to any other good historical fictions. A lot of nonfiction books are written so dryly that I can't get into them and it's easier for me if there are a couple exaggerations or guesswork to spice things up.
