The Wild Princess by Mary Hart Perry Review and Giveaway!

Synopsis:
The astronomical success of the historical novels of Phillipa Gregory and Christine Trent prove that readers simply can't get enough of the British royals--and now Mary Hart Perry enters the fray with an exciting, deliciously sensual novel of Queen Victoria's "wild child" daughter, the Princess Louise. The Wild Princess transports us back to Victorian England and plunges us into the intrigues of the royal court, where the impetuous Louise brazenly followed no one's rules but her own--even marrying a commoner, which no one of royal blood had done in the previous three centuries. Filled with rich period deal, The Wild Princess is an exciting, enthralling read. The Tudors have gotten the lion's share of attention in historical fiction; it's high time Queen Victoria and her family got their due
Review:
It is really hard for me to come up with a rating for this book, every little girl dreams of being a princess, fantasizes about the balls, the gowns and the white knight that will one day swoop down and carry her away.
What we forget about is that most marriages where not made from love back then, in this book we are taken back in life and follow the life of the Wild Child that is Princess Louise a daughter of Queen Victoria who is given to a marriage of duty.

It is obvious that alot of thought went into the book, you can tell that the romanticized version of history really took a lot of creativity, and you are easily swept into the tale and biting your nails as you turn the page. Fan's of historical romance and the victorian age will love this tale.

Back Cover Blurb:

Tales of Lust Hate and Despair by Ian Truman

Synopsis:
Samuel Lee has known three days of freedom in the last eighteen years. Three days to come out of prison, see his daughter, settle a score with the mother of his child and her dangerous new boyfriend. Finding shelter in the unlikely company of a group of prostitutes, Sam will have to challenge his friends, his family, and ultimately, himself.

Told in the tradition of the best literary noir, Tales of Lust, Hate and Despair is a modern, lowdown and gritty take on the genre. Inspired by the cinema of Akira Kurosawa and Samuel Fuller as well as the music of Tom Waits, Sage Francis, Neurosis and Marilyn Manson, it is a novel that is sure to please anyone who has ever found themselves trapped and cast aside from the world

Review:
I am not a fan usually of this genre, I enjoy giving every book I come across a chance. And so I did with this because there are those rare occasions that a genre will surprise me.
This book kind of fell into the middle.
You are placed in the middle of a tale where a man is released from prison after a long stint.
Anyone who is anyone knows that when you are let out of jail it is hard to adjust with the freedom, and that is perhaps why I didn't enjoy the book as much as I could have.
The transition was just to easy.
The book was a thrilling read and fans of the genre deffinetly should give it a try.

Rating:
3.5 Ravens.
