I know the sex scenes were a point of criticism by some reviewers of this book. The sex scenes in the second book was just as sexy as the first book. This was a match made in shapeshifter heaven, as was Dom and Pru from The Leopard King. The Demon Prince was AMAZING!Īlastar Vega is the demon prince and his love interest is Dr. I was not sure that Ann would be able to top The Leopard King, but I have no doubt in my mind that she did.

In The Forgotten Garden the story moves between 1913, 19. This has been a feature Morton has used in all three books and she does it well. The storyline had a slightly Gothic feel with a smattering of Dicken’s London thrown in which suited those parts of the story where the author did some travelling back in time. The characters were well developed and interesting. I presumed The Forgotten Garden was written later than the other two as it was a much better plot and more smoothly written. Mother didn’t understand that children aren’t frightened by stories that their lives are full of far more frightening things than those contained in fairy tales. ![]() I didn’t pay any attention to the date of their publication (except that I knew they’d been written in recent times) and just read them as I came across secondhand copies. The other two books were The Lake House (2016) and The Secret Keeper (2012) which I read in that order. The Forgotten Garden is the third book by the Australian author, Kate Morton, that I’ve read and it has been the best of the three. ![]() |
