The Blurb: 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.
The Earl of Swartingham is in a quandary. Having frightened off two secretaries, Edward de Raaf needs someone who can withstand his bad temper and boorish behaviour.
When Anna becomes the earl's secretary, it would seem that both their problems are solved. Then she discovers he plans to visit the most notorious brothel in London for his "manly" needs. Well! Anna sees red—and decides to assuage her "womanly" desires...with the earl as her unknowing lover.(From Goodreads)
The Cover: So pretty and purple! This is another example of a good romance cover: not too raunchy, but still hot enough to make me take a second look. I also simply adore the dress the lady on the cover is wearing; too lovely.
The Review: Another fantastic Elizabeth Hoyt romance! Even though this is the first book in the Princes Trilogy, this is actually the second in the series that I've read; I read The Serpent Prince a couple of months ago and loved it. The Raven Prince is another great offering. Anna and Edward are amusing, intelligent, and somewhat vulnerable main characters, and the romance they come to share is mature and realistic without being too serious.
The thing that I am really liking about Hoyt's Princes Trilogy is that all of the main female characters are intelligent and have a will of their own. Anna is no simpering miss, yet she is still a romantic at heart, like most of us girls! Over the course of the novel she develops into a strong-willed and more independent version of herself, and I loved seeing her stop bowing to society's expectations and to just do her own thing.
The Raven Prince is a lush, sensual romance with more than enough actual plot to keep things interesting. Filled with light, humorous dialogue and touching, romantic moments, it is definitely one of my favourite romantic reads of the year. An especially enjoyable quick read, it is a book that I recommend to all!
Loved this! 4 Roses.
