Book Reviews of The Leopard Prince
Book Review: Three Stars
Summary: 3 Stars
Elizabeth Hoyt is one of the best new authors out there. Her writing is fresh and witty and The Raven Prince is one of my "keepers". However, "The Leopard Prince" fell short of the mark.
The plot was a bit too ominous; the atmosphere held a dark pall over it. I felt the romance took a back seat to the mystery and intrigue.
When Harry and George did come together I never felt the connection or chemistry. The sensual tension was minimal and the love scenes were warm rather than hot.
The author employed the "big misunderstanding" plot device which is not a favorite of mine.
If you are trying Elizabeth Hoyt for the first time and did not enjoy this book, please read "The Raven Prince".
Book Review: Thoroughly Engrossing
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked this book so much I breezed through it in two nights, highly unusual for me! Reminded me very much of Lady Chatterly with the basic premise--aristocratic Lady falls for lower class employee. There was plenty of action and intrigue for me, each character was well-developed with their own distinct personality, and the hero...sigh.
I'm no expert in the Georgian England period, but historical sticklers will find fault with George's actions--spending the night at his cottage, showing up there unannounced and alone--but because of the witty and fast-paced writing style I was able to easily suspend disbelief. I believe I've read the Raven Prince, so will definitely check out one of her newer novels.
Book Review: "QUITE SENSUAL AND ENJOYABLE"
Summary: 5 Stars
Thiis love story was a bit unique fro me. What I enjoyed most was the fact that The hero was the commoner and the heroine was a earls daughter with a large inheritance. George was a very likable heroine. She knew what she wanted and went for it. She didn't care what other thought of her and Harry's (hero) relationship. Harry was quiet, meek, and charming. I really liked all the characters in the story. Even the villain you love to hate. The plot was interestly unique and very good. The hero and heroine already knew each other when the story begins which made their falling love very realistic. The lovemaking was pretty hot. I must say this was a pleasant read for me. Well done!!!Book Review: Sucker for regency & gothic romance
Summary: 5 Stars
I have now read both of Elizabeth Hoyt's books and am looking forward to the third one because of her fully developed charactors, never anything out of charactor. The carved animals are a delicious delight to the story which add a touch of tenderness to Harry Pye. The 3 brothers who care for Georgina but allow her to pretty much lead her own life. The murder and the sheep killing just adds a mystery element that only improves the overall story. The sex scenes sizzle with realism and are not for the "faint of heart". Let's face it, I'm a sucker for regency romances...I dote on tortured souls and imperfect individuals finding true love with soulmates and living happily ever after.Book Review: DELIGHTS LIKE THIS ARE HARD TO FIND!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVED this book! I never write reviews on Amazon (at least up 'til now - maybe I'm just getting started?), but I'm delighted to write this one.
IMO, a REALLY GOOD BOOK is - plain and simple - one that holds my interest all the way to the end (and I consider this a gigantic achievement!).
The Leopard Prince held my interest and kept me entertained ALL THE WAY TO THE END! I read it in one day! The writing is excellent, the story is engaging, and the romance is sexy, sexy, sexy. In a romance, what I care about the most is the sexiness, and this one's got it! Sexy and fun! What's a crack-up is that the oh-so-sexy hero is named Harry Pye!
