Elizabeth
Hoyt has
improved with each release in her Fairy Tale Prince Series. It has
become difficult to determine which one is the favorite, so it has to
be the one you are currently reading! Her unique style of having an
actual fairy tale being told by one of the characters while the real
fairy tale-like storyline is developing, is extremely creative, leaving
readers glued to the pages, once again reading another Prince series
book that is interesting, sensual, and difficult to put down. These are
not light stories with flighty characters, but complicated storylines
containing characters that are imperfect and sensual, with moral
character.
In The Serpent Prince a beautiful country girl Lucy Craddock-Hayes
leads a quiet life helping others, wondering if love will ever come her
way, when she happens upon Viscount Simon Iddesleigh, naked,
unconscious, and near death on the side of the road. Lucy rescues Simon
to recuperate in the home of her cranky old sea captain of a father
with loyal servants who are old sea salts, just as cranky as their
captain, whose antics, along with the rakeful Simon when he awakens,
will keep the reader smiling. When he awakes he has immediate lust for
the beautiful country mouse. Lucy, who has always led a perfect country
life of decorum, is surprised by her sensual desire for Simon. But
Simon has deep, dark secrets of vengeance underneath his sexy smile and
beautiful body. Evil that already killed one he loved and may endanger
those he has now come to love. Will the beautiful Lucy's sweet goodness
be enough to transcend the evil in handsome Simon's life so he can
truly love? Only one way to find out...read this third book in the
series!
The Prince Series is a romance series fans will want to collect and
read over and over again. A pure delight. Readers anxiously awaited
this release and they will continue to look forward to the next Hoyt
Historical Romance!
