Publisher's summary

It’s not often the House of de Velt sees both tragedy and comedy, but when Medieval hippies come to call on the darkest lord of all, Julian de Velt gets caught up in the Medieval mayhem....

But he pays a price.

Lista de la Mere is a young woman of beauty, sense, and education. Unfortunately, her mother and her aunt don’t have the same sensibilities. Lista is an heiress, and a very wealthy one, and if her conniving, alcoholic mother and her sly, drug-addicted aunt have anything to say about it, she’s going to marry the man who can provide them with unlimited coinage to feed their habits–and put them back on top of the social hierarchy.

Lista’s mother was a friend of Kellington Coleby de Velt, Julian’s mother, long ago. They pitch Lista to Kellington as a wife for Julian, and although Julian has no intention of marrying any time soon, he’s rather intrigued with the lovely, bright young woman who is so capable of drawing him out of his shell.

But Lista’s mother and aunt don’t stop there. It’s their intention to have a bidding war, the prize being Lista, and they pitch Lista to the wrong knight, a man who will stop at nothing to make Lista is wife–even murdering a de Velt. Julian, who is usually shy and quiet, must call forth the inner devil that his father managed to tame so ably.

Now, it’s Julian’s time to rise.

Join introverted, powerful Julian and sweet, intelligent Lista as they battle to save a love that too many people are trying to destroy.

It’s peace, love, chaos, and madness in Medieval England!

The Dark Angel

The Dark Angel by Kathryn LeVeque and narrated by Brad Wills was so much better than the book, to me. The characters became so much more alive!

More than Wonderful!

Kathryn never disappoints me! At the very beginning it brought me back to remind me of Jax. She can bring tears and laughter like a soldier with a sword. Straight to the heart.
I can’t say enough about Brad Wills when he narrates! He can drag out every emotions from me with just his voice. What a talent! He and Kathryn make quite a team!

Too short

This story was too short because I wanted it to go on forever. I wonder where Kathryn LeVeque gets her ideas but wherever she does, keep them coming. Once again I ask that ALL her books be on audible.

Very Relatable Topic

I loved the storyline, and the anticipation of what was going to happen next kept me awake longer than I intended. I love that the topic was very relatable. I love this narrator, and I usually like all of his characters, but Lista's mother and aunt sounded too old.

Little depth

I don’t get the high reviews on this one, especially when you compare to earlier writings where the reader felt as if the author was weaving a tale of epic proportions. To me, these are beginning to fall into a space where we are seeing quantity over quality.

Very little depth; Most of the story revolves around some sort of severe inferiority complex the H suffers from because of his dual colored eyes (which he got from Jax), and the h who is dealing with the clownish antics of her mother and aunt, who also deal with substance dependency.

I struggled with the awkwardness of the H. We’re expected to believe he is this formidable knight, fierce and intense, but then at the slightest “challenge” runs off because of his insecurities over his eye color.

We flip flop around on different characters… brothers, sisters, abandoned betrothals… is he dead, is he not… he isn’t!! (H youngest brother was believed dead for a score of years). This was irrelevant, and in my opinion, a pitch to already queue up the next book in the series…

I feel like I wasted a credit, and will rethink purchasing some of the later KLV works.

Performance was on point. Wills never disappoints.
