Book Reviews of The Leopard 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: 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: I like this one best!

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.Book Review: Elizabeth Hoyt has her own style of writing and characters - what a nice change. Enjoy !
