A Medieval Romance (de Wolfe Pack Generations, Book 10)

By: Kathryn Le Veque

Narrated by: Brad Wills

Leonidas de Wolfe is the son of a diplomat… but every inch the grandson of William de Wolfe.

Beware of the wolfe BITE in the ultimate enemies-to-lovers romantic tale!

As the son of Edward de Wolfe, Henry III and Edward I’s greatest diplomat, Leonidas has been in the heart of England’s politics since the beginning of his career. An elite knight, Blackchurch trained and Kenilworth-educated, he is the pinnacle of the de Wolfe stable of knights, sons and grandsons and great-grandsons of the greatest knight of his generation, William de Wolfe.

But what Leonidas is about to face will put that education and training to the test.

He has to keep a young French princess alive long enough to marry the next king of England.

The future queen comes with a nurse and governess in the fair Christelle de Lorrain, but the truth is that Christelle is a trained spy and bodyguard sent to protect the young royal. Leonidas may be tasked with guarding the queen, but Christelle has been tasked with the same thing – and what she says goes. It isn’t long before the battle of the wills begins.

So does the attraction.

Leonidas isn’t thrilled with the young princess’s nurse. The woman seems to have more involvement than a nurse should have, but she’s brilliant at pretending to be submissive when she’s really doing exactly what she wants to do. Leonidas is used to men obeying his commands without question, but the fair-haired Frenchwoman clearly never got that memo. Leonidas is so busy being irritated with her that he doesn’t even realize when he’s fallen in love with her.

That brings an entirely new set of problems.

Entertaining from beginning to end!

With this story we see behind the scenes of what was happening with the young queen Philippa who is married to Edward III. She is being hidden and protected by Edward de Wolfe and her personal guard Christelle de Lorrain. Philippa is also carrying the next heir to the English thrown as she and Edward are expecting their first child. Christelle is Black Church trained and turns out to be a spy planted into the queen's life. She has been planted there by her father who is loyal to the French crown. Edward de Wolfe and Tate Crewys de Lara have separated the young couple to keep them safe from Edward III's mother Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer.

Christelle is beautiful but does not carry herself like most ladies. She has been treated more as a male because her father wanted a son, and she was trained to flight as a knight. She has come to love the young queen and Edward de Wolfe and therefore her loyalties have changed. She wants to remain with the queen and have a life of love with de Wolfe, but she is uncovered as a spy before she is able to make that declaration. Edward de Wolfe feels betrayed and used when this comes to light and is devastated because he has fallen in love with a trader. He doesn't give Christelle the chance to explain her true feelings, and things soon come to a head.

There are some nail-biting moments and very few actual battle moments in this book, (personally, I live for the battles), but there is enough to keep you entertained until the conclusion. Like all the other books in Le Veque's arsenal we get our payoff of a HEA. I really enjoyed seeing both sides of what happened with the king and queen in their different situations and found that very interesting. If you want the other side to this story you should listen to Dragon Blade. All in all, this was another excellent mid evil story and so worth the credit.
