From Booklist
Orphaned and sent to Madame Fagin's training house for pillow girls, Xishi can't believe her good fortune when her long-lost friend, Prince Cor, buys her and takes her back to the Forbidden City. But Cor has changed from the happy boy she once knew. Determined to master his emotions, he's grown into a cold, collected man. It's fitting that Holly conjures an alternate Victorian world, since the story has a Dickensian style as she starts at the beginning of her star-crossed lovers' lives and works her way forward. In our time, when fast-paced, right-out-of-the-gate stories are gospel, Holly takes a risk, but it pays off. Lavish settings, palace intrigue, and hidden agendas add dimension and suspense to her elegant, erotic romance. FollowingThe Demon's Daughter (2004), Prince of Ice is the sultriest entry yet in Holly's Demon World series. Nina Davis
