ARC received for an honest review

I was curious as to how The Florentine series was going to fit in with Gabriel's series, but as I read I could see where their stories were already starting to interweave during the Gabriel's series.

We have already kinda-sorta met the Prince. Remember Gabriel's Botticelli drawings? Remember the weird guy at the Uffizi following/staring at Gabrielle and Julieanne? Yeah, that guy was him, and therein lies their connection

I am not a huuuuge supernatural/paranormal reader - I read some but it is not my favourite genre. The vampire Prince and his minions/followers are not that vampirey though.

I did enjoy this crossover. It is always hard to join two series together seamlessly, and especially in a novella where there is a lot of information to fit in a small book, but I feel the Sylvain Reynard has done this with The Prince.

Of course our darlings Gabriel and Julieanne are sexy and hot and sooo in love that you get drawn right back into their world

I am now very much looking forward to reading The Raven. There are things I need to know. What does The Prince know about Julieanne? What will he do with Gabriel?

The imagery, as always with Reynard's writing, is amazing. I could imagine myself in the piazza, looking over the skyline of Florence.

I am glad that we don't have long to wait for The Raven, as I feel that Raven Wood is going to really shake things up in The Prince's world

Oh, and I liked the handy glossary at the end of the book - especially helped with the pronunciation of those celtic names!
