Feb 07, 2016 Sissy's Romance Book Review rated it really liked it

Shelves: amazon-free

This is the first book in the "de Wolfe Pack" series. Know that this book is about 900 pages long. My thought on the length of this book at first when thinking about reading the book I thought there would be a lot of filler...something drawn out forever. SO I was slow to jump on board with this book. But forged ahead and started reading this book. I found that it was a really good book that did not feel to be a 900 page book. This book beside the main two couples William and Jordan (lady) also i ...more

Compelling. Riveting. Mesmerizing. And completely addicting! If I hadn’t been convinced about the caliber of Le Veque’s work, this book would have been the clincher.

There are few reads which hold me as strongly and as powerfully as this one has. I opted to listen to the book rather than read it.

There are few reads which hold me as strongly and as powerfully as this one has. I opted to listen to the book rather than read it. By so doing, I could spend numerous hours, in one stretch, living this world of compassion, humor, greed, and honor, with hot-tempered Scot women, and knights irrevocably besotted with them. Never once did I wish the story weren’t so long. Conversely, I wished I could continue enraptured for many more days.

I’m a great fan of Le Veque’s. I’ve been reading her books now for about four years. With each read, I sink deeper into her engrossing world set in Medieval times. I often reconnect with characters whose life story or a portion of it has been shared in my previous reads with her. However, this book gave me a beginning point for the de Wolfe pack. Lady Jordan and her family, and Wolfe with his knights are forces to be reckoned with.

I swear Le Veque’s pen is dipped in magic as she spins stories of such depth of character, drilling down to the essence of the goodness of people (or not), capturing my emotions. She paced and plotted in such a undeniably convincing manner, I was there.

The narrator, Guy Veryzer, did a fine job. I did have a bit of a problem with listening to the audio. Found it ran better at the 1.25 speed. His voice neither added or detracted from the story. If you are an audio listener, you’ll know what I mean. The book, in and of itself, kept me listening enraptured.

This saga probably could have been divided into three separate books for it tells the story of three young Scot women who marry three English knights. However, Le Veque pulled the stories into one fascinating read, giving the reader a resounding understanding of life on the borders. Rather than repeating backstory as another part of the story focuses on another couple, she spends more time enfolding the reader into a richly-detailed environment, while expanding subplots and developing secondary characters.

Truly, if you are a reader of the Medieval period, Le Veque needs to be on your list of authors. Her books have grit, depth, and compassion for the human plight. ...more
