The Leopard Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt, 4 1/2

Book description: THE ONE THING A LADY MUST NEVER DO
Wealthy Lady Georgina Maitland doesn't want a husband, though she could use a good steward to run her estates. One look at Harry Pye, and Georgina knows she's not just dealing with a servant, but a man.

IS FALL IN LOVE...
Harry has known many aristocrats—including one particular nobleman who is his sworn enemy. But Harry has never met a beautiful lady so independent, uninhibited, and eager to be in his arms.

WITH HER SERVANT.
Still, it's impossible to conduct a discreet liaison when poisoned sheep, murdered villagers, and an enraged magistrate have the county in an uproar. The locals blame Harry for everything. Soon it's all Georgina can do to keep her head above water and Harry's out of the noose...without missing another night of love.

Review: Elizabeth Hoyt keeps getting better and better. The Leopard Prince is the second book in her Princes series but it stands on its own. I enjoyed this even more than The Raven Prince. Henry Pye is the perfect blend of alpha and beta that many romance fans enjoy but is so hard to find. I also loved George. She’s an older heroine who has a realistic amount of knowledge about sex. It thought it was fantastic that she was the aggressor in the beginning of the relationship. There was also an interesting mystery about sheep killings and old vendettas. I cannot wait for the final book in this series, The Serpent Prince. Hoyt is quickly becoming one of my favorite romance authors.
