The Leopard Prince
April 16, 2007
I love a good historical romance. The gowns, the balls, London, snooty people. Well, Elizabeth Hoyt's The Leopard Prince, doesn't have any of this (except some snooty people). The story moves to the countryside where wealthy Lady Georgina Maitland owns her own estate thanks to an inheritance. At 28 she's spinster material, but fine with being unmarried. Enter hunky Harry Pye, the steward running her estate. Lady Georgina is up for a hot liaison, but Harry is leary due to his past history with aristocrats.
There's poisoned sheep, murder and angry villagers. Add into the mixture Hoyt's signature story in a story. As she did in
The Raven Prince, a fairy tale unfolds throughout the main story. This makes it so enchanting, as do the characters.
A very enjoyable book that makes me look forward to the upcoming
The Serpent Prince.
Bottom line: Princes can come in all shapes and forms.
