Dear Mrs Hoyt,


After I finally got around to reading your first book, “The Raven Prince,” I was hooked on your writing. I knew I had to have this book, “The Serpent Prince”. Well, now that I’ve finished this one I’m starting to panic. Only one book left. “Gah!”

I’m happy to say that I find Harry and George’s story more realistic than the first book. In the mid eighteenth century, I find it easier to believe that a lower class man and an upper...more

"I'm yours to do with as you wish, my lady."

4.5 stars.


YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND, SEPTEMBER 1760
Harry Pye is Lady Georgina (George) Maitland's land steward. Admittedly, the hero seems to be pretty average at first sight. Average height, rather lean, brown hair and he wore brown clothes, as if to camouflage himself. Our hero seems to be cold and stoic, too. But despite his being rather average, he's got stunningly beautiful green eyes, and if you look a little bit closer, you'll rec...more

There is no way that I can review the book well enough that would relay how much I loved this book. But I shall give it a try. I fell in love with Harry, just like Georgina. How could I not? Harry and His Lady made the cutest couple and the love scenes were hot as well.

I liked Harry for being just a regular guy. He wasn't very tall or hulking. He was just a simple man with sexy green eyes. A working man trying to do his job. He also didn't take any crap off anybody. He might have been his Lady'...more

When she returns to her estate in Yorkshire, Harry gets blamed for poisoning the sheep by Magistrate Silas Granville. He insists George fires him before he arrests him, but she stands by Harry. As tension mounts throughout the story we learn there is a history between Silas and Harry. When George stays loyal to Harry a relations...more

4.5 Stars

Lady Georgina Maitland has been called up to Yorkshire urgently, it seems sheep have been murdered on her neighbour's land and her land steward Mr Harry Pye has been accused of their slaughter. Georgina doesn't believe Harry could have done it, and the more time they spend together the more she can't help thinking of him as a man rather then just her land steward.

The Princes Trilogy continues with the story of Harry and Georgina and I loved it! So far this trilo...more

George + Harry + their relationship = amazing!!, but mystery subplot could have used some work (4.5 stars)

Another absolutely lovely book by Elizabeth Hoyt! At the time I'm writing this review, I've read all three in the Princes trilogy and have to say that my ranking in terms of preference follows their order in the series.

The Leopard Prince was close on the heels of The Raven Prince (5 stars), but the biggest complaint I have with this book was the mystery subplot. Had it been simpler, it could...more

I adore Hoyt's heroines, and it is Lady George, the heroine of The Leopard Prince, that made this book for me. She's eccentric, an original in looks and action, and easier to get ahold of then the hero of this tale.

The second thing Hoyt does well is out-of-the-box heroes. Despite his unfortunate name, Harry Pye is no exception. He's not titled, in fact he's George's Land Steward, but he's as strong and independent as George. For some reason though I had a more difficult time connecting with him...more

I loved The Leopard Prince. The back cover summary didn't sound all that interesting, so I hadn't been in any hurry to get to it. So it was a pleasant surprise to find another new favorite.

As with all satisfying romance novels, what separates them from the just-ok or mediocre ones is how they take familiar trope and enliven them with vivid characters, making their motivations and actions not just interesting but believable. And The Leopard Prince was all about lovable characters, ones that were...more

"4.5 stars" With The Leopard Prince, Elizabeth Hoyt has authored another solid story in the Princes Trilogy, and has once again, shown her talent for creating unusual characters in a unique situation, as well as an ability to write a good mystery. Ms. Hoyt continues her “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” theme with two rather ordinary characters. Georgina is described as a plain woman who is certainly no beauty. She is a bit too tall for a woman, has untamable curly r...more

Georgina Maitland is a wealthy young lady of the aristocracy, but nothing like the meek and timid women roaming from ball to ball in London. She is gutsy, speaks her mind and as she inherited quite a bit of land from an aunt in Yorkshire, she never saw a reason to get married.
When her land steward Harry Pye tells her about the bad weather and its implications on her farmers and the crop, she leaves her London house in order to rush to her country estate. Once there, she realizes that Harry is r...more

Okay, see. I didn't expect to like this. Who could fall in love with a hero called Harry Pye? And really, the back cover made it seem kind of boring, with no real reason to read. But as usual, the fucktard that wrote the cover copy got it completely wrong. Harry is quiet and funny and confident and the problems he has with the relationship really make sense without being insurmountable, though they might have been, and in the less deft hands of some other writer this book could have been a train...more

Of the trio of Elizabeth Hoyt's "Prince" Series, this is the least favorite of the reviewing masses. Haven't read the last yet, but found this to be better than the impressive "The Raven Prince". Just liked the idea of a land steward named Harry Pye being the big hero and winning the hand of the aristocratic lady. Found that to be a bit unusual. One gets sick of the dukes and counts always slumming around and getting the piece of tail. Let the land steward get some decent action already.

I absolutely LOVED the Raven Prince and I think Miss Hoyt is an AMAZING writer. SO many historical romance writers are actually poor writers who's scenes tend to be redundant and after awhile you just want to skip the love scenes. I really didn't enjoy this book. Compared to the Raven Prince, it seemed even worse. It was very slow, the plot/premise were lacking and lame in my opinion - I'm not an animal lover to begin with but I really don't care about dead sheep ;-) If this is the first book yo...more

Narrated by Moira Quirk

Review written by Lea Hensley

Many of us romance audio enthusiasts have longed to see Elizabeth Hoyt’s The Princes Trilogy in audio format. A popular trilogy in print, our wish carried with it an element of trepidation – would the publisher choose a sufficiently talented narrator for the job? Have no fear – Moira Quirk is fabulous.

With The Leopard Prince, Ms. Hoyt treats us to that rarely seen (but longed for) scenario of a non-aristocrat hero tied to an aristocrat heroine...more

Terzo libro che leggo della Hoyt e ormai mi è chiaro che all'autrice piace creare eroine audaci, intraprendenti, pronte a sfidare la società e in generale con una forte personalità. Tuttavia bisogna fare attenzione a bilanciare il tutto con un protagonista maschile altrettanto forte per evitare che venga sopraffatto e che la sua lei gli rubi prima la scena, poi l'iniziativa e infine il fascino che in un romanzo ad alto contenuto erotico è indispensabile =D Nel primo libro della serie la Hoyt c'e...more

I don't usually read romance but this was the ideal book for a cold day spent under the covers while recovering from surgery.

I liked the heroine, a plain redheaded spinster named George who conveniently owned a buttload of land and had a title. She was extremely open-minded and informal for the 18th century though it was explained she was considered eccentric. Whatever, I liked her for being clever, opinionated and not swooning.

The usual story of high-born hero and lower-class heroine is turne...more

I saw the three books in Elizabeth Hoyt's "Princes" series while browsing Wal-Mart's bookshelves one day, and was intrigued. The re-released covers really caught my eye, and the 'special low price' of $4 each was equally enticing. However, I finally talked myself out of buying them, thinking I'd remember the titles and author and pick them up at the library. I then promptly forgot everything but the covers and my interest. Oops. Lucky for me that GR is here! After searching for several days, I s...more

I love this book. Maybe as much as i love Raven Prince and Lisa Kleypas' Against the Magic.

I read this for the second and third time and i still finds it enjoyable. That tells you something about a book.

In Leopard Prince, Harry Pye is a land steward of Lady Georgina Maitland. What Harry doesn't tell Lady Georgina is that her land is neighboring the place where he was born and where he was kicked out of it. As soon as Harry arrived and manage the estate, problems from the neighboring land like...more

I was reluctant to read THE LEOPARD PRINCE. I tend to avoid romance novels about poor and low-ranked heroes who fall in love with wealthy and aristocratic heroines. I like my men alpha, and it's hard for a man to be alpha when the woman he loves has all the advantages. Even worse, I thought, when the hero is actually in the heroine's employ.

Luckily, THE RAVEN PRINCE gave me some faith in Elizabeth Hoyt and I'm grateful because THE LEOPARD PRINCE is a wonderful book and its hero, Harry Pye, is d...more

La Hoyt non si smentisce, anzi, si conferma autrice sensibile e di valore assoluto.
Questo romanzo non è a livello de Il principe e la preda, ma raggiunge comunque vette molto alte.
La storia è originale, coinvolgente, ben narrata ed emoziona; l'eroina, pur essendo zitella ed ingenua sentimentalmente, non è la classica fanciulla indifesa senza nerbo, anzi, è decisa, sa quello che vuole e fa di tutto per ottenerlo. Quello che vuole è Harry, e sfiderà le tradizioni, le convenzioni sociali e i preg...more

This should have been a five star. It was soooo close. Until the last 20%.

Basically the heroine does something TSTL at the end and we have to wallow in that manufactured nonsense for the rest of the book. Then the ending comes abruptly, we have a sweet little reconciliation and it's over. No epilogue or nuthin'. Boo!

Harry Pye and Georgina "George" Maitland are a nice, unique couple. He's her land steward and she's the sister of an earl who's aunt left her everything she owned. So she's got more...more

This is the second in Elizabeth Hoyt’s Princes Trilogy. In this we have Georgina Maitland who has inherited a good deal of property which makes her a fairly independent woman, much to the consternation of her family.

Unfortunately, Georgina, called George (personal pet peeve, women in historical novels called by men’s names) has awaken to the fact that her land steward Harry Pye is an attractive, virile man. This does not bode well, especially when Harry is accused by a neighboring land owner of...more

Almost, almost, almost 4 stars.
I really liked the story, but not as much as "The Raven Prince". Loved the fact that Harry was just a normal guy, not extremely handsome or perfect in his looks (it seems to be a trade mark in this trilogy...none of the leading men has a perfect look and I just just love it! it's kind of refreshing to not read about absolutely dazzling perfectly good looking heroes and heroines). Also loved that Georgina was a strong and independent woman with her own mind. Loved t...more

The only thing I didn't like about this book was the way he always interrupted her and didn't let her talk, it was annoying and kind of cute. I became practically addicted to this book, I couldn't put it down. It was charming and with more suspense than the first, which is why I think, I couldn't put it down.
Lady Georgina Maitland is the sister of an earl, she is very rich thanks to an inheritance and is single at 28 years old. She starts to become attracted to her land steward, a servant really...more

The Leopard Prince is the first book I've read written by Elizabeth Hoyt, and I have to say, I'll be reading her books a lot more from now on. I hardly read any historical romances, but Elizabeth Hoyt's books just captured my attention and made me squeal with excitement. Her books are historically realistic and doesn't focus on a single subject, making it no dull unlike all the other historical romances I have read in the past. The Leopard Prince captures the social class structur...more

The Hero and Heroine:
What I enjoyed about this H/h pair is all the private moments they spent with each other. Georgina is 28 and has little care about propriety since she is somewhat “on the shelf” and financially independent, therefore this allowed her an excuse – as the landowner – to spend time alone with her attractive single land steward. I also liked that George’s boldness was not the annoying kind that stemmed from careless adolescent wiles, but that of a mature woman doing what she wan...more

I think I much prefer Hoyt's Maiden Lane or Four Soldiers series but I quite like this story with its mysterious sheep murders and role reversal of forbidden love. Commonly it is the man who is of upper class and the female of lower standing that fall in love in a historical romance. One thing I did miss from all her other books was at the beginning of each chapter would be an excerpt from another story/fairytale that tied in with the character stories. But in The Leopard Prince Lady Georgina "G...more
