[...] nothing in this book is historically accurate, but I care not. As Jayne famously recited in her review of “The Raven Prince” by Elizabeth Hoyt: “I so believed in the romance and the [...]

Jane already has The Serpent Prince??? That is sooooo not fair :D

Yes, I plan to read and review the next book but who knows when. Hopefully soon. Jane’s already done a review of it and read the next book (Serpent Prince) which I’ve got sitting beside my computer terminal now.

Ok, I have really got to read this. It’s on my pda. I’ll get around to it. Will you be reviewing the next book? I haven’t bought it yet.

Kristie, I kept meaning to read this but Jane would send out more arcs and review books and it kept getting shunted to the bottom of the heap or I wasn’t in the mood for a historical or I had to go to work (yes, I’m ruled by my corporate masters if I want a paycheck to live on) or a Netflix envelope was sitting by the DVD player and of course I have to walk my dog and adore my kitty daily. Pathetic excuses I know but now, as Jane says, I’m a convert!

Stef, aren’t TBR piles great? Well, until they tip over and fall on your head. But I love knowing I’ve got well reviewed and highly thought of books waiting for me. I hope your project is finished soon and you can dig into your carrots.

btw – i loved the line

I so believed in the romance and the world you'd created between these two that if you'd told me they got into a Range Rover and drove off into the sunset on the M25 I would have nodded and said “of course, that's the perfect vehicle for Jock to fit intoâ€?.

So – what took you so long to read it? *g* ‘Tis a most wonderful book isn’t it? It was one of the best I read last year – that’s for sure! Now you’ve made me want to read it again – and look at that – it’s still sitting on my shelf right near me! Gotta run now

I bought this book solely because of the cover, without even reading the back blurb. Also the title – very catchy! Then it began to garner so many good reviews, and readers carrying on about it. The second one appears to be equally, if not more popular, so I bought it as well.
But, like Jayne, it’s been a case of ‘time passed’. :)

At this point, it’s become something of a carrot. As soon as I finish this project and send it off into the world, I can sit down and read this book, and the next. Oh, and Claiming The Courtesan, and Passion, both also in the stack of read asap.

Thanks for a lovely review – makes the carrot all that much more enticing.

I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed the fairy tale at the beginning of every chapter too!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this book, on another web site I voted for this book as my "Buried Treasure" book. I loved the fact that hero was not good looking and the heroine went after what she wanted.

Oh, yes, the horse with no name!

Which is another thing I loved-’the way she showed the hero’s trauma. I really did find it a very emotional read. What moved me to tears was that scene in the garden.

Alternate history, fairy tale, either one will work. I wonder if the horse ever got a name?

I so believed in the romance and the world you'd created between these two that if you'd told me they got into Range Rover and drove off into the sunset on the M25 I would have nodded and said “of course, that's the perfect vehicle for Jock to fit intoâ€?.

lol! I just kind of slotted this into alternate history and I was good to go. I loved it, too, and couldn’t put it down. But, I sure wouldn’t have bought it based on the back cover. So I am glad it got some good press on the blogs.

And I adored their first meeting where he falls off the horse.
