His Majesty, The Prince Of Toads (2006) - Plot & Excerpts
Delle Jacobs did a good job with this light Regency romance. Plenty of excellent historical detail and a wounded, charismatic hero, although the heroine seemed mean at times. We learn why later as the well thought out plot unfolds, but for some of the book I wasn't entirely there for her. I liked the way the relationship was worked through as they developed feelings for one another, I just wish everyone wasn't inclined to snicker. I found much to like in this and would read another of her books. This book was quite entertaining. I bought it on a whim without really caring what it was. His Majesty, the Prince of Toads was the story about Lord Deverill and his hated wife, Sophie, who apparently forced him into this marriage he hadn't wanted. Sadly, on his return from the war, Lord Deverill is informed about his financial issues... and discovers his wife's fortune, that only she can touch.Now, the infamous playboy of a viscount has to fight for the attention of his angry wife, who sees their marriage just a bit differently than he does.The book is quite enjoyable and I was going to give it 4 stars until I wsa about half-way through, when it turned a bit... strange, I'd say. I liked the beginning very much and the characters were interesting, especially the side characters Minerva and Carstairs, but then the author started to block everything but the developping love between the two main characters out and I grew a bit bored of it.
