Sandy M's review of To Taste Temptation (The Legend of Four Soldiers, Book 1) by Elizabeth Hoyt
Historical romance released by Forever 1 May 08
I'm still trying to figure out why I didn't just totally love this book. I'm known in these parts for loving practically everything I read. So while love is not the right word for me this time, I did like this book very much. I like the storyline, the characters, the romance, the mystery. But for some reason it stopped just short of me closing the book after reading the last page and having stars in my eyes while thinking, "Wow!" Read more

Lawson's review of To Taste Temptation by Elizabeth Hoyt
Historical romance released by Forever 1 May 08
I'm not ashamed of the fact that I read, loved and reviewed the three Prince books by Hoyt. She's a talented writer with a gift for story and characterization. She had an interesting twist with how fairy tales were interwoven with the rest of the book. Starting a new series about soldiers from the French and Indian War has an interesting setting and time period, and I was anticipating this start to a new series from Hoyt. And what I found was. . .

Historical romance released by Grand Central 1 May 08
Somehow, despite the fact that everyone in the blogosphere absolutely adored Elizabeth Hoyt's Prince trilogy, I had never read her until now. I'm so glad I chose to start here, because the story in To Taste Temptation is wonderful, with interesting, nuanced characters, a captivating plot, and a great love story.

Gwen's review of The Serpent Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt
Historical romance released by Forever on 1 Sep 07
This book surprised me. I read the excerpt and thought, "Oh look. Nice, predictable historical. Simple lass nurses wounded aristocrat, they fall in love and live HEA." So, I wasn't in a big tearing hurry to read it. Figured I'd get around to it eventually. Well, I finally picked it up. Holy crap. Was I ever WRONG.
This book was surprisingly unpredictable for me. I read it in a day (thank goodness for Spring Break or I'd be looking for a job now).

The Serpent Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt
WHEN THE DEVIL MEETS AN ANGEL
Country bred Lucy Craddock-Hayes is content with her quiet life. Until the day she trips over an unconscious man - a naked unconscious man - and loses her innocence forever.
HE CAN TAKE HER TO HEAVEN
Viscount Simon Iddesleigh was nearly beaten to death by his enemies. Now he's hell-bent on vengeance. But as Lucy nurses him back to health, her honesty startles his jaded sensibilities - even as it ignites a desire that threatens to consume them both.
OR TO HELL
Charmed by Simon's sly wit, urbane manners, and even his red-heeled shoes, Lucy falls hard and fast for him. Yet as his honor keeps him from ravishing her, his revenge sends his attackers to her door. As Simon wages war on his foes, Lucy wages her own war for his soul using the only weapon she has - her love...
I am sure it is very wrong of me, in oh so many ways to say this, but...
If you haven't already, put this down on your TO BE BOUGHT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE list.
This is a flat out amazing read. The Serpent Prince is a darkly beautiful, morally questionable and erotically charged must be read novel. Simon and Lucy have a love that seems so hauntingly raw, you won't know if you are envious or if you want to kiss it and make it better.
A few people will have a very hard time reading this maybe even more than a few. It is as violent as it is passionate, with two characters I did not want to leave. I am on a complete book high right now and the only complaint I would say I had was it ended.
Well there were a few other minor things but I will tell you about that later. But trust me. You want this book.
The ever delightful Elizabeth Hoyt has given us another excerpt to share with you! This follows the first excerpt, you can find here.

Gwen's review of The Leopard Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt
Historical romance published 1 Apr 2007 by Warner Forever
This historical romance is set in the 1760's, primarily in Yorkshire, England and a wee bit in London. The hero is an everyman named Harry Pye. I know, I know... I died laughing, too, when I first read that name - and EVERY TIME I READ IT I snicker (sorry, Elizabeth - it is my inner Beavis & Butthead and not the "real" me). Read more
