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 – Harry Pye and Lady Georgina Maitland. A wealthy landowner, Georgina employs Harry as her land steward. Unmarried although she is in her late twenties, Georgina is an independent lady with her own ideas of how things should be done. She knows Harry is off limits but can’t help her attraction to him and uses any excuse she can find to be in his presence. Harry, on the other hand, is mightily attracted to Georgina but refuses to be her plaything. He resists. He tries to shut her down. He behaves as society expects. She doesn’t.

With the increased usage of untrained narrators, my fear pertaining to the selection of a narrator for The Princes Trilogy was well founded. But resting in the hands of Hachette Audio, who is known for using seasoned narrators, I had hope and took a step rare for me. I purchased the first in the series, The Raven Prince, immediately upon its release without a word from any of my more adventurous romance audio friends who I often rely on to take that first step into the unknown. Not only was Moira Quirk a new-to-me narrator but she only has ten titles to her name.

Within five minutes, I knew I was listening to a winning narrator but I listened two hours before I started crowing to others about the excellence I was hearing. I’m inspired to use such words as marvelous and stunning when describing Ms. Quirk’s performance. Although she is a relatively newcomer to solo narrations, she not only knows how to perform an entire cast of characters effectively but she also understands the nature of a romance tale. Harry sounds completely sexy and male just as one would expect (with a good dose of hope) in audio. And Georgina’s character is made even more endearing with the narrator’s performance. Ms. Quirk gets Georgina – better than I ever did when reading in print. Not once did I wonder who was speaking. The narration is that good. With the first two entries in The Princes Trilogy, Moira Quirk has moved solidly into my auto-buy narrator list.
