Book Reviews of The Serpent Prince (Princes, Bk 3)

This was the last book in Elizabeth Hoyt's Prince Trilogy. This book is the fourth book I have read by her, and she is quickly become one of my very favorite authors. She can tell a darn good story that has some humor and intensity, with a hero and heroine that are believable. And she has done it again with Simon and Lucy's story. I loved Simon. He was never serious and joked about everything… until he met Lucy. **He was honest with his feelings, as was Lucy, something that's not done in all stories, since so many are based on misunderstandings and internal conflict.** Anyways, Lucy could see right through with him and he lost it when she told him that she felt like she had known him forever after knowing him for a couple of days. What I sincerely enjoyed about The Serpent Prince was that we went along a cute little journey while Simon and Lucy got to know each other. This was a superb story, and Elizabeth Hoyt can't crank books out quick enough for this reader. If you have not read any of her books, you are really missing out!

Lucy Craddock-Hayes almost stumbles over a dead man while walking one morning. Upon closer examination, she discovers he is not quite dead yet, but may soon be if she doesn't get him some help. In spite of her servant's reluctance, she sends him for help, and they take him to her house. Her father maintains that he will not have the man in his house, but Lucy calmly directs the servants to take him to a spare room. Viscount Simon Iddesleigh is engaged upon revenge, seeking out his enemies one by one, and challenging them to duels. He has killed two of them so far, and has three more before he is avenged. His enemies hired murderers to do away with him, and he was caught off guard. He cannot allow Miss Craddock-Hayes to become a target for his enemies, but she is determined to befriend him. Thoroughly enjoyable book.

I enjoyed the book but not as much as the first two.... where as some like a book that's indepth and detailed I would rather read a book that moves along with the story, thus keeping my interest....

from the back cover: Viscount Simon Iddesleigh was nearly beaten to death by his enemies. Now he's hell-bent on vengeance. But as Lucy nurses him back to health, her honesty startles his jaded sensibilities- even as it ignites a desire that threatens to consume them both. Charmed by Simon's sly wit, urbane manners and even his red heeled shoes, Lucy falls hard and fast for hism. Yet as his honor keeps him from ravishing her, his revenge sends his attackers to her door. As Simon wages war on his foes, Lucy wages her own war for his sould using the only waepon she has- her love.

Enjoyed all of her books

This would have been rated a much better read had Ms Hoyt omitted the gore. Lopping off fingers, stabbing through eyeballs gave her main characters nightmares and didn't help me any either. I find that sort of thing really breaks the romantic mood don't you?

If you like love stories... then you MUST read this book. I laughed, gasped, and worried about the book ending with a happily ever after!

I thought the Series was Great! I loved the fist book Raven Prince , second was good but this last book The Serpent Prince was WONDERFUL. I read all three in a week, I know Elizabeth Hoyt has a Princess book you can read online at her web site. It is about one of the people out of The Raven Prince. Great Author!

This was the final book in the "Prince" series. By Hoyt. And it certainly was the steamiest! Wow. This book is very hot. Simon, and Lucy a very mismatched couple who take deep desire in each others company and touches. But Simon has a dark side as well. Its a very good story, about a mans flaws, and his love of a woman. And the woman's love of him. A story that asks, can True love really conquer all?

I enjoyed this book the most of the three. Couldn't put it down. Very very good read.

I enjoyed this book although there are some very graphic sexual situations in the book.
Lucy is a strong woman who knows what she wants in life and is willing to go after it even if it goes against the "norm" for ladies.
Simon is a tormented man who does not believe he has the right to love. Near death he is found and rescued -in more ways than one- by Lucy.

A little too neat. How lucky for her to find a naked man on her property who wants to marry her. Some girls have all the luck.

This is my favorite of a wonderful romance trilogy. There was just something about Simon. A keeper.
First Book - The Raven Prince. Edward and Anna's story.
Second Book- The Leopard Prince - Harry and Lady Georgina's story
Third Book - The Serpent Prince - Simon and Lucy's story

Thrid in series that is really not related. Each stands on own merits with some interwining of characters. Good Reading.......................

Great book,thought it was just as good as the first two!

Solid historical romance with interesting characters. Although this book is well worth reading, I did not enjoy it as much as the first two in the series.
