I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book or not. However, that being said, I couldn't seem to put it down. There was something just intriguing enough to keep me reading. While I thought the names were a bit far fetched and out of the realm of other historicals, it was, in turn, rather refre...
First I listened to the audiobook version. I'm not sure that it makes a difference but to some it might. I really enjoyed this book. In fact it's the best in the series so far. I enjoyed the first book, but the second was HORRIBLE. So I went into this book with very low expectations (expecting to...
Wow what an amazing read! Hoyt sure knows how to build up and write sexual tension between characters. I'm so glad I decided to give this book a chance. The story line was fresh and although I've read a lot of "wounded hero" plots, I really liked this one. I just wish Melisande's character had mo...
This was truly one of the best books I've read in a while. The only thing that truly bothered me about both this book and the first one of the series is the fact that the epilogue has nothing to do with the main characters. I understand that the story of Silence is being introduced and everything...
I didn't care much for this Maiden Lane book. It was kind of a flip from the normal romances, for the heroine, Lady Beckinhall is the one to instruct Winter on the sensual arts, as he is a virgin! What? Having devoted his life to being the Ghost of St Giles and rescuing children from the streets,...
Sister of the Duke of Wakefield, Lady Hero Batten has accepted the proposal of the Marquess of Mandeville. Hero is happy with her choice of future husband, until she meets his younger brother, Griffin Remmington, a notorious rake who is said to have seduced his brother's first wife. When Hero tra...
3.7-4.2 Stars. Public Library 7/29/14. Good end to the series. Each book offered a different perspective of the massacre of the 28th while at the same time offering different personalities. Each man came away from that fateful day with his own demons and own motivations. In the other books we wer...
Leggendo la serie tutta di seguito quest'ultimo libro, secondo me, perde un po' rispetto ai due precedenti, pur essendo una bella storia, ben strutturata soprattutto per la tematica del ritorno di Reynaud e la difficoltà di riappropriarsi della propria vita e di farsi accettare dagli altri come l...
Bir serinin daha sonuna geldik.. Çok şükür mü desem üzülsem mi bilemedim.. Ülkemizde seri kitapların çıkma hızı malum!! Seride en sevdiğim kitap bu oldu.. Munroe'yu beklerken Edward de Raaf yerini Reynaud'ya bıraktı kesinlikle.. Konusu da yazılışı da çok etkileyiciydi..Son kitaplarda tüm karakter...
***Received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads.***I loved everything about this book! In a nutshell, this is about a couple forced into a marriage of convenience. Both are still reeling from the deaths of their true loves and are afraid to let go of the past. Godric is strong, patie...
Sorry, but I was bored. The main characters were both so idiotic and annoying that I had trouble finishing it.The author writes very good romances, but I think this one had too much mourning - if it was just one of them, then it would have been better, but both hero and heroine were getting over ...
Artemis, orphaned and forced to live with her self absorbed first cousin as a ladies companion. Maximus, Duke of Wakefield, loses his parents at a young age and struggles with guilt over his parents death, his conscious, and the need for vengeance. While trying to help her twin brother, locked i...
The first two thirds of this book were great. When I realised children were in the mix as Helen fled to Scotland, I was nearly put off, but this was part of the story Ms Hoyt handled well. 9 year old Abigail in particular was a beautifully drawn character and I loved watching a new family unwitti...
Kitap tam beklediğim gibiydi.. Nasıl bir mutlulukla okudum anlatamam.. Hainle ilgili durumdan biraz uzaklaşır gibi olunmuş ama içime çok pis kuşkular saldılar o konuda burada!! Munroe benim için bir Edward De Raaf olamadı tam olarak hayal ettiğim gibi ama olsun onu da çok sevdim ben :DBuradaki mi...
Adoro la favola della Bella e la Bestia e ho amato anche questo libro, anche se il mio preferito rimane il secondo. Essendo ambientato per la maggior parte in Scozia è più concentrato sulla coppia e meno sulla ricerca del traditore, cosa che ho apprezzato, ma poi non mi è piaciuto l'espediente ch...
Well ... What can I say. This is not my genre, but a friend gave it to me as a light read this week. The author's approach cracked me up: "It's 1737 because I say it is, bitches!" There's little attempt at period-appropriate language or other detail. "They wear gowns, stays and drop fall pants, t...
Widow Silence Hollingbrook has taken care of Baby Mary Darling since she found her on her steps. Now River Pirate "Charming" Mickey O'Connor claims to be Mary's father and has taken her to his palace. He then blackmails Silence into living at his residence to take care of the baby. Mick knows tha...
3.7-4.2 Stars. Public Library 7/26/14. This is the second book in the series but can be read as a standalone. I enjoyed Ms. Hoyt's characters and writing greatly. Jasper is haunted by his past while his new bride Melisande has a secret of her own. There isn't much conflict or deception btw the H ...
Buku ini sesuai feeling. Lebih menarik dari buku pertamanya. ♥♥ Harus dari mana kumulai membahas buku ini? Sejak aku membaca buku pertamanya, dan ada sedikit cuplikan buku kedua (yang ini) di sana, aku sudah tertarik untuk membaca buku yang kedua ini, dan firasatku benar. Buku ini jauh-jauh-jauh ...
To Seduce a Sinner, by Elizabeth Hoyt, is a completely engaging novel. A lovely story that really shows you can not always tell who a person is or what's going on in their lives by merely looking on the outside. This was my First Elizabeth Hoyt novel, and I really liked it. I will definitely be g...
Loved it! Loved it. A bit too much anticipation for my taste but I got through it and loved every minute of it
AudioBook Review:Stars: 3 Narration 2 Story 3Book 7 in Elizabeth Hoyt’s Maiden Lane series is Darling Beast, Apollo’s story. I’m quite used to popping into the middle of a series, and most author’s do make the effort to give some background information to characters that are recurring, and t...

But in the morning what a change had come over John when he arrived at the breakfast table! He still had his proud bearing, but his noble features were haggard and dark circles stood under his handsome eyes. He smiled bravely, but Princess Peony gasped at the sight of him. “Whatever is the matter...
The soldier raised his eyebrow and asked, "What is the last thing?" "The heart of a good man," she whispered. "Ah, that is the easiest of all," the soldier replied softly. He leaned forward and placed his mouth against the Ice Princess' cold, cold lips. And then a very str...
He felt a nameless fear, and leaving his marital bed and the princess asleep, he grasped his sword and went to find his baby son. When he reached the nursery, the guards were asleep outside the door. Quietly, he cracked the nursery door open, and what he saw inside froze the blood in his veins. F...
“I know your love of the hunt,” said the Dwarf King. “With this hunting dog in your saddle, your arrow will never miss the quarry. But mind that you do not dismount before the dog leaps down of its own accord. In this way you shall always be safe.”… —from The Legend of the Herla King Artemis ente...
Early the next morning, she braided her hair and wound it about her head in a golden crown. She’d hardly put the last pin in when the guards came to bring her before the king. This time the throne room was filled with a bevy of lovely ladies. Each was more graceful than the last, their faces pain...
There the king sat on a jewel-encrusted throne with, beside him, his mad queen, spinning red wool with a wooden distaff and spindle. The youth chosen with Ariadne made a low bow to the king and then turned aside. But Ariadne, remembering her mother’s warning, curtsied to the king and then the que...
