That having been said, I enjoyed the Raven Prince. Showing rather than telling is part of good writing, however, twice drives the point home, more than that gives me to understand that the author thinks her readers have poor memories or she, herself, forgets what she's written or perhaps just is over-invested in her hero. We got it, you're showing us that he is strong. The story is well done, but repetitive in little ways-I think it was six times in the book that the hero lifted the heroine (and once a secondary female character) seemingly effortlessly. However, I don't think I've enjoyed a narrator more than Ms Quirk. The snippets of fiction at the beginning of chapters is, to me, weird. As for me, we'll I'm eagerly off to listen to book 2 The Leopard Prince and then 3 The Serpent Prince (ahhhh isn't life grand!).

Worth a credit? This is a sweet romance novel and definitely, absolutely and certainly worth a credit but, for the listeners who must have total 'historical accuracy' as well, they should look elsewhere. Anna isn't a pretty well gowned young debutant or Lady and Edward isn't a handsome young rake but their story IS beautiful - a lowly almost penniless widow and a scarred loud Earl who try, but fail, to keep to the social boundaries dictated by the rules of Georgian England's Society. IF YOU'R LOOKING FOR ROMANCE THEN LOOK NO FURTHERīook 1 of the Prince Trilogy (the Prince's are mythical fairytales that slowly unfold at the beginning of each chapter) I love E.H.'s books and this one is filled with likeable flawed characters that come to life as you become more involved in a well written, well narrated storyline that has passion, humour, emotion, blackmail and some steamy love scenes.
