Book Reviews of The Leopard Prince
Book Review: Great author, but the plot was a little too dark for me
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved the author's first book, The Raven Prince. But this second book had a downer element that caused me to give it 4 stars instead of 5. In this story, the Lord of the area who also had police powers had the ability to arrest any innocent person he chose, lock them in a cell, and torture them without any local person being able to do anything about it. He had absolute power and was so evil in his treatment of others, that it took away too much from the romance story for me. I'm still glad that I read it, but it's not a favorite. I enjoy this author's writing style and characters. I plan to read her next book.Book Review: The Leopard's Story
Summary: 4 Stars
I read one review of this that said Harry Pye (the hero) was awesome but Lady Georgina (the heroine) was boring. I beg to differ. I mean, truly, it is Harry Pye's story. He's even the subject of the title (debatably-- He is SYMBOLICALLY the leopard prince). Still, I enjoyed reading Lady Georgina just as much as reading Harry Pye. I thought she was a compelling heroine, especially given the difficult situation of being gentry in love with a commoner. Great story, lots of politics and class issues, good villains, and even some really great funny moments. I enjoyed it very much!Book Review: Good story, but ...
Summary: 3 Stars
This was my first book of Ms. Hoyt's. Perhaps I'm spoiled having become a fan or Lisa Kleypas' historical romances. The Leopard Prince was a very good story. My only suggestion is it would have been interesting to continue to read about the relationship once Harry and Georgina were marrried and the adjustments they would have to make to make the marriage work. I don't care for stories that end at the point of marriage and leaves the reader wondering if they really will make it since the characters are usually so diverse in many ways.Book Review: "superb!!!"
Summary: 5 Stars
I felt like this was a very well thought out book. It's not your normal everyday historical romance. And I believe that's what I liked most about it. I loved the way the author represented the hero, Henry Pye, in this story. He is not your typical, "Lord of the Manor", but a person that feels alive, not just a fantasy. And the heroine, Lady Georgina Maitland, is not the steroetypical, "Lady". This book really left me wanting more. Thank you, Mrs. Hoyt, it was a pleasure and I can't wait for your next book the, "Serpent Prince".Book Review: I like this one best!
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked this 2nd book in the series best. It had the right mix of passion, romance, mystery and intrigue. Although the heroine made silly choices, I liked the hero of the story. It also moved from each point of view throughout the story, which I appreciated. I read this entire book on a lazy Sunday. It was easy to get carried away with the story. There was also a lot more bedroom situations with the characters than the other books. I loved it.
