Hoyt also uses a truly interesting narrative gimmick for each book, she crafts a fairy tale that reflects the deeper struggles of her characters. Each of the main characters come to each other flawed - aware of it or not - and it’s a pleasure to watch how they slowly come to complement and complete the other person. While there is a mystery to each tale, Hoyt never lets that overpower the romance – and what powerful romances they are. The Raven Prince, The Leopard Prince, and The Serpent Prince revolve around three disparate men who have become friends through a shared interest in horticulture (which provides no end of amusement to the heroines and other characters), and the three courageous women who come to love them. And now I’m glad I waited, because once I’d finished The Raven Prince, I had to have the other two right away! I have a hard time getting into the settings and the mindsets of long ago, so I managed to avoid Elizabeth Hoyt’s Princes Trilogy for quite some time, despite the sheer amount of sparkling reviews given to the series. I have to be talked into reading historical romance.
