Prince of Hearts

What a wonderful debut! This book has all the elements that make a great historical romance...great story, characters you fall in love with, unpredictibility. I read somewhere that she was working on her next book, a spin-off of "Prince Of Hearts" that tells Sebastian and Beatrice's story. I CAN'T WAIT!

A unique premise, a satsifying development and conclusion, and beautiful writing--what more could a reader ask for? Ms. Cooper's style will entrance you from page one. The characters are very appealing and multi-dimensional. The deft handling of alternate history will fascinate readers familiar with the time period, but the story functions equally well as an historical romance even if you don't have the background to appreciate the writer's careful and imaginative handling of the historical details. At its heart, this is a beautiful and compelling love story.

This is a wonderful read. The author's words flow beautifully and the love story is delightful. I started smiling on page one and never stopped. Talented author Katy Cooper's Prince of Hearts is a keeper.

This is a splendid debut for every reader who complains that there's nothing new in historical romance. Katy Cooper takes a little-used era -- Tudor England -- and makes it her own with a deft blending of unforgettable lovers, flawless history, and believable appearances of real-life figures. In an over-crowded field of predicatable novels, PRINCE OF HEARTS stands out as a genuine winner. I can't wait for Ms. Cooper's next book!

This book is an Alternate History version of Tudor England. Henry VII's first son Arthur did not die and thus became King rather than his brother Henry VIII, who remained the Duke of York. This of course changes things greatly. The hero is Henry VII's younger son, Edmund who also didn't die. The feeling of the Tudor Court with its intrigues is very apparent and pleasing. I enjoyed this book very much.
