Book two-hundred-and-nineteen: The Leopard Prince

The Leopard Prince (2007)
Elizabeth Hoyt

Rating: 3.75/5

Almost as good, but not quite. I didn’t like the sub plot as much. And some of the stuff from the evil guys perspective was just plain disturbing.

But the characters are still so real; and normal. The thing I like most of all is that Harry isn't secretly the Earl or Duke or whatever. He really is just a servent. There's no getting around that.

THE ONE THING A LADY MUST NEVER DO

Wealthy Lady Georgina Maitland doesn't want a husband, though she could use a good steward to run her estates. One look at Harry Pye, and Georgina knows she's not just dealing with a servant, but a man.

IS FALL IN LOVE...

Harry has known many aristocrats—including one particular nobleman who is his sworn enemy. But Harry has never met a beautiful lady so independent, uninhibited, and eager to be in his arms.

WITH HER SERVANT.

Still, it's impossible to conduct a discreet liaison when poisoned sheep, murdered villagers, and an enraged magistrate have the county in an uproar. The locals blame Harry for everything. Soon it's all Georgina can do to keep her head above water and Harry's out of the noose...without missing another night of love.



Finished: Saturday 8/12
