I read the Frog Prince a few years ago and LOVED it!  I have since read everything that Elle Lothlorien has written as I feel that she is a genius, with a one of a kind voice. I may not always agree with the author, but I admire her wit, creativity and style.Because the Frog Prince was from Leigh's POV, we did not understand some of Roman's actions once he became king. Now with his POV, he doesn't come off as such a troglodyte. When he tells Leigh that Izzy is helping him, we really understand and believe him. We also don't get the feeling that Izzy is doing everything in her power to win Roman back as we did in the first book.The introduction of Francesca was inspired! She is hilarious as well as being quite astute in the politics of Austria. I absolutely fell in love with her. I could use a fairy godmother like that!Although there really isn't that much NEW material here, and there were times I felt the story dragged, it just made the whole story seem more rounded out in the end. My recommendation is, if you're going to read Frog Prince, then you should read Guilding the Lily-pad as well. I highly recommend them. And for those of you offended by explicit sex scenes in romance novels today... there are none in these books.
