Resumen del Editor

Laurie and Sasha have built a bright new world together. Sasha is working for the Immigration Guidance Council, and Laurie is landing theatre roles he could once only have dreamed of. Best of all, they've spent the past two years enjoying the love they snatched from the jaws of Sasha's violent, dangerous past.

But Laurie has a history too. He's on edge, his talents increasing beyond his ability to deal with them. And although his father is dead, Laurie can't deny the turbulent genetic heritage the old man has bestowed on him. Only Sasha's love is keeping him anchored and sane - and Sasha is vulnerable, shaken by bad dreams about his life on the streets.

Then Laurie learns that Sasha's Romanian gang-lord father is on the loose in London, and his deepest fears boil to the surface. The last time Stefan's shadow fell, Sasha made a run for it, and Laurie can't bear the thought of losing him again. When Laurie lands a part in the latest Hollywood blockbuster, he abandons England for a dream of safety in the States, persuading the astonished Sasha to come with him.

But the dream becomes a waking nightmare for both of them beneath an alien Californian sun. Laurie must meet his demons head-on, and Sasha must confront the inner barricades that have kept him from treating Laurie as a comrade as well as a lover and a friend. The frosts of a midwinter London brought them together - will this blazing summer crack them apart, or forge enduring love from first romance?

Excellent though hard listen in places

Some descent into self destructive behavior and distance between the main characters is hard to listen to but overall another excellent tale by Harper Fox and ably narrated as well. My only disappointment with this author is the too explicit sex scenes that will lessen the readership/listening audience for this accomplished author.

physical description of the male leads

would like a much more vivd description of the main character,s physical attributes, i.e. penis sizes and a direct comparison of them, testicle sizes and a direct comparison, biceps 💪 descriptions and comparison, chest hair yes or know and direct comparison, pec description and hairy or no, abs description and hairy or no, armpit description and hairy or no, definitely need to know which main character has biggest biceps, pecs penis teaticles and whether or not they hang or tight against the body

Voice actor :)

The narrator does a wonderful job with many different characters and voices. I hope he narrates the other books in the series.

Simply magnificent story of love and atonement

What did you love best about The Lost Prince?

This book has everything. At its heart is a strong love story between diverse, extremely compelling characters - Sasha and Laurie . There is sort of a role reversal when Laurie takes on the protection of Sasha - he has stalwart intentions but blunders it so badly with such misappropirated aplomb. They both care so fiercely for each other they don't always make the best decisions. I appreciate that the story took some unexpected twists such as Laurie falling into substance abuse issues as a coping mechanism, rather than being honest with Sasha. What Laurie thought were protections led to worse problems. I also like that the story ran the full gamut from happy career, happy home life, to turbulent upheaval, culture shock, emotional betrayal, and the action/adventure climactic scenes. The secondary characters are all clearly presented and very pivotal to the story. Such wonderful escapism for this reader.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lost Prince?

Hmm, so many. Many of them are reveals, so I can't be specific. I do like how intense both Laurie and Sasha are about their work, and in their feelings for one another. Although Laurie's intensity gets him into trouble at times -to say the least... I did love how when how all seemed hopeless, a figure from the past appeared to lend a very big helping hand. Laurie's sister Clara jad insights and interventions which were marvelous.

Anytime Laurie or Sasha called the other Ves'tacha ♥

What about Rusty Coles’s performance did you like?

Everything! He was able to voice each and every character uniquely and, in my mind, perfectly. Nobody sounded like a cartoon version, or unlike I imagined. It's an understatement to say he heightened the enjoyment of my favorite Harper Fox series. Took that enjoyment to the moon and back is more like it.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Laurie's about to take on the role of his life. But sometimes running away,,, brings your demons closer.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend this audiobook and the prequel, A Midwinter Prince

perfect. Sumptuously told, richly realized.

The characters are stunningly well developed, the plot though not a mystery, has a few good surprises, and the romance feels natural and real. I am always pleasantly surprised at the level of truth one feels in the characters written by harper fox. It's only downfall is the overwhelming sense of loss the reader experiences when the books are finished and they must say goodbye to the friends created by this masterful author.

exceptional

i love these characters. this beautiful love story. the thrills, the action and suspense. and the narration flawlessly delivered in numerous dialects.

Loved this series

This series was wonderful. I did not read it at all, but rather listened to Rusty Coles. I prefer to listen only if the narrator is able to give the story a life of its own, into the world created by the author and and then, the characters. I tried to find more books narrated by Mr Coles, but found few then realized that he is aka Joe Jameson.
The combination of this great story and the acting of is has pushed this into my top 5.
There is love, people broken by their pasts, adventure, danger, and triumph over the reality of being human. Wonderful.

Emotional

This book had me smiling, blushing, crying, scared, and in love many times over. All the right emotions in alll the right places! Totally worth it.

Love this set!

So now I’ve listened to the prince books twice and loved them even more the second time through. Lauri and Sacha are both so lovable and have so much to deal with at their young ages and it’s so fun to get to be part of their joys and struggles! I really like all of Harper Fox’s books but these are my faves..

Well above average for the genre!

Raises the bar set by the first book in the series, which was also excellent.
