REVIEW: To Taste Temptation by Elizabeth Hoyt

By Jayne • May 1st, 2008 • Category: B Reviews Category, B+ Reviews, Reviews

Dear Mrs Hoyt,
I love the beginning of a new series. New characters to meet, new situations to explore, new relationships to work out. Everything’s fresh and (hopefully) wide open. “To Taste Temptation” is, I believe, book one in what looks like a four book series if the fable at the start is our guide. Okay, [...]



My First Sale: Elizabeth Hoyt, Middle-Aged Ditherer Makes Good

By Jane • Sep 7th, 2007 • Category: Interviews, Misc

Elizabeth Hoyt is a favorite of Jayne and Jane. Between the two bloggers, they’ve reviewed Hoyt’s three books and given them all a grade of B or better. Hoyt’s latest book, The Serpent Prince, takes a dark look at the emotional cost of revenge.

You know those authors who start their bios [...]



REVIEW: The Serpent Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt

By Jane • Sep 5th, 2007 • Category: B Reviews, B Reviews Category, B+ Reviews, Ebooks, Reviews

The Serpent Prince is the final volume in the fairy tale trilogy offered by Elizabeth Hoyt. Jayne and I have both enjoyed Hoyt’s work despite the accusations of anachronisms. We both would rate the book a B, with me giving the extra plus on the end. The story is about Simon Iddesleigh [...]



REVIEW: The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt

By Janine • Aug 24th, 2007 • Category: DNF Reviews, Ebooks, Reviews

Dear Ms. Hoyt,
Many readers (including Jane and Jayne) have fallen in love with your debut, The Raven Prince. I wish I were one of them, but unhappily, I have to report that I closed the book feeling that the fan bus had left the bus terminal without me. As I sit here, figuratively [...]



REVIEW: The Leopard Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt

By Jayne • Aug 14th, 2007 • Category: B Reviews Category, B+ Reviews, Reviews

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 this book and [gloating] “The Serpent Prince” [/gloating] already on hand. Well, now that I’ve finished this one I’m starting to panic. Only one book left. “Gah!” as a [...]



REVIEW: The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt

By Jayne • May 1st, 2007 • Category: A Review Category, A- Reviews, Reviews

Dear Mrs Hoyt,
Last year my blogging partner raved to me about this book. “You must read it,” she said. I said I would and sincerely intended to but time passed. I read other reviews of it where people raved about it and thought, “I really need to read that.” And time passed. And I [...]



REVIEW: Leopard Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt

By Jane • Mar 29th, 2007 • Category: B Reviews Category, B- Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Hoyt:
I’ve come to the realization that your books are not really historicals, but rather fairy tales set in the mid 1700s. As such, this story need not abide by ordinary societal rules which may restrict the fair maiden from her reward with a servant. This book, like the last [...]

Elizabeth Hoyt’s Raven Prince Released in Ebook Format

By Jane • Dec 8th, 2006 • Category: Publishing News

Warner books are hardly ever released in ebook format so I was quite surprised to see Ereader.com release Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt. I haven’t found it in my favorite “Lit” form so Ebookwise readers are out of luck right now but Raven Prince is a good read, and I recommend it to those [...]



REVIEW: The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt

By Jane • Nov 7th, 2006 • Category: B Reviews, B Reviews Category, Reviews

Dear Ms. Hoyt:
At first blush, this isn’t a book I would buy. The back cover blurb reads as follows:
Widowed Anna Wren is having a wretched day. After an arrogant male on horseback nearly squashes her, she arrives home to learn that she is in dire financial straits. What is a gently bred lady to [...]
