Enjoyable but the ending was a bit abrupt. I wish they had spent a little more time actually working out the issues.

This is a really fun book. It isn't often that the male character isn't part of nobility or the "ton". Harry is just a normal dude who works for Georgina. Also, another cool thing about this series is that the main female character is older-- on the shelf. So, George is able to be who she wants to be (within reason) and she knows who she is.
There are no balls here, no debuts or fancy dinners, this is a romance with a murder mystery background (which is solved easily.... my biggest complaint) with a couple I really liked together. I will say sometimes the characters acted ridiculous for the sake of conflict, which yeah can be annoying...
One aspect I like about this series is how there is a fairy tale told within it which matches the story being told...somewhat ^_^

Very fun to read a regency where the positions of power are flipped. The heroine is the daughter of an earl and the hero is a land steward. Lots of fun suspense elements with some unexpected twists.

I’m a sucker for nicknames and Harry calling George “My Lady” does it every time. I also love a good grump and the class difference between him and Georgie is perfect for romantic tension. But what I most loved was how George telling Harry the tale of the Leopard Prince served as foreplay for them. HOT!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to continue this series in audio

this book really highlights the class aspect of a different class romance. Harry's chapters were about him being framed for murder and George's were about her wondering why Harry doesn't like her lmao

Readers everywhere would identify with the feeling of unabated excitement that courses through them when they discover an author whose voice they come to adore from the first encounter itself. An added bonus would be having the fortune of finding a long backlist of books that you can indulge in. Elizabeth Hoyt became that for me since I picked up Sweetest Scoundrel from her list of books to read.
The Leopard Prince is the 2nd installment in the Princes trilogy, The Raven Prince being my very first Hoyt novel which I read and reviewed in 2012. The Leopard Prince features Lady Georgina Maitland, owner of multiple estates who remains unmarried, labeled as a spinster given that she is 28 years old.
Harry Pye is Georgina’s land steward, a sort of superior servant considering the grand scheme of things where the elite of society are concerned. However, that does not stop Georgina’s fascination to do with all things related to Harry, even though he has been in her employment for just under six months.
Georgina laments the fact that Harry remains stoically unaffected by her, something she should try and emulate in her burgeoning feelings of curiosity and emotions of other nature towards him. When Georgina decides that she would travel with Harry to Woldsly Manor for a visit, Georgina arrives to find more than she bargained for when it comes to Harry, the village’s animosity towards him and a whole lot of danger that seems to follow in Harry’s wake.
Like in every single book of Hoyt that I have read to-date, The Leopard Prince is also filled with intrigue, danger, craftily formulated characters and mind numbing passion with a love that is as strong and virile as they come. Harry is the kind of hero that we all love to shake up. Broody and silent, Harry knows that his station in life is far below that of a lady like Georgina. The fact alone should tell him that he should stay away. But Georgina is a woman who would not be denied when it comes to passions in the bedroom and otherwise.
Georgina’s stubborn and daring nature might be at odds with the time period within which the story takes place. But then again, history is filled with scandalous affairs of one sort or the other and I believe that is exactly why Georgina and Harry’s story fits with me. I loved the unpretentious nature of both Harry and Georgina. Harry has a way with him that makes you go all weak in the knees every single time he uses “my lady” as a term of endearment, and especially when he uses it as he talks dirty to the woman who rouses his passions unlike any other.
There is a reason why Hoyt is a revered name when it comes to the genre. The Leopard Prince serves as a small testament to that fact.
