5.0 out of 5 stars great adventure romance 4 Nov 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is just a great action adventure romance, with exotic settings, intense scenes, and an undercurrent of humor that helps relieve the tension. Duran is a hero to die for, and Jessica is a heroine women can identify with-- strong yet vulnerable. Their romance is torrid, and so are the adventures they get into together.

The plotline involves rare antiquities, and I found this glimpse into the world of the collector fascinating. But most of all, I loved the complex and tempestuous relationship between a desperate man and the only woman who can save him. There is torment and sacrifice and triumph in this book, and plenty of passion too!

4.0 out of 5 stars combination of Indiana Jones and Romancing the Stone 4 Oct 2002
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In 1821 India, charming con artist Lord Hugo Duran stands trial for stealing the Heart of Alanbad. Needing a lie when he knows the truth of innocence will not work, Hugo insists a dream brought him here and that he is to go home to England to find the Golden Leopard and return it to its rightful owner. The court rules if he fails to restore the jewel within a year, he will die.

Hugo needs help to succeed and at the same time he sees this as an opportunity to finish his business with Jessica Carville, who he once hurt badly. After Hugo failed her, Jessie plunged deeply into her other passion, dealing rare antiquities. Though she wants to tell Hugo to go to the devil, Jessie, tempted by his quest, agrees to accompany him, but does not relish the idea of marrying him to keep her reputation in tact. As the excursion turns dangerous, both realizes they still love one another, but if they survive, she does not trust him to stay.

THE GOLDEN LEOPARD is a combination of Indiana Jones and Romancing the Stone. The story line is fast paced and loaded with action, twists, and gender bending (at least for the regency period) subplots. The support cast feels like they come from Peter Lorre clones while the lead couple is a delight though why Jessie suddenly worries about her rep after shredding it as a dealer seems a bit stretched. Still Lynn Kerstan keeps the reader enthralled with this suspense thriller that has just enough romance to please readers of both genres.

5.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable romance with "real" characters... 26 Mar 2005
By retroredux - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
unlike some of the other reviewers, I really enjoyed this romance. The book actually had a plot-unlike some regencies which are a series of event goings thrown in with a few love scenes. The hero and heroine are older, realistic characters-no gorgeous 19 year old virgins here. I liked the fact that the heroine takes control of her life instead of wallowing in self pity after she's abandoned by the hero years earlier-in fact she becomes an accomplished business woman.

The storyline of finding the golden leopard was exciting, the sub characters-assasins from India-are interesting and add to the exotic flavor of the book and the love scenes are very sensual and erotic-unusual for a regency romance. If you love regencies but are looking for a bit more adventuresome plot, then I recommend this book-4 1/2 stars!
