““"The Golden Leopard" captivated my attention from the first page. Which is a rare treat for me when reading novels these days.

Lord Duran's character was one with wit and underlying currents of emotions to that which he readily displayed. He was cunning, and ever reaching to save his hide, until it came to Lady Carville. A woman from his past, who he could not keep from his mind, he had to turn to her for help in his quest. In the end knowing whether he succeeded or not, his sentence was death.

Lady Carville was witty, independent and cared more than she let on. She had allowed Lord Duran was steal away with her heart, and when suddenly faced with his presence again, it was a battle to either win hers back, or his own. I think it played out rather nicely.

As for the assassin, Shivaji, I never took him for the heartless man he represented. He had too much wisdom and compassion within him to execute Lord Duran. It was a pleasantly, exciting read. One I recommend highly on my list of must reads.”
