Resumen del Editor

From self-published author phenomenon Joanne Bischof comes this thrilling romance novel of tragedy healed by love.

Raised amid the fame and mystique of the Big Top, Charlie Lionheart holds the audience in the palm of his hand. But while his act captivates thousands, it's away from the spotlight where his true heart lies. Here, he humbly cares for his pride of lions as if they were his brothers, a skill of bravery and strength that has prepared him for his most challenging feat yet - freeing an orphaned infant from the dark bondage of a sideshow. It is a trade so costly that it requires his life in exchange for hers, leaving him tarnished by the price of that choice. As the circus tents are raised on the outskirts of Roanoke, nurse Ella Beckley arrives to tend to this Gypsy girl. It is all under the watchful eye of a guardian who not only bears a striking resemblance to the child but who protects the baby with a love that wraps around Ella's own tragic past, awakening a hope that goodness may yet reign.

When their forbidden friendship deepens, Charlie dares to ask for her heart, bringing her behind the curtain of his secret world to reveal the sacrifice that gave hope to one little girl - boldly showing Ella that, while her tattered faith is deeply scarred, the only marks that need be permanent are his own.

And just like that, I have a new favorite🙌🏽

I'm so glad I came across The Lady and the Lionheart! I was immediately hooked and couldn't stop listening. The writing is superb and the narrators are some of the best I've heard. I fell in love with the characters and the story of love and healing. It's one of those books that you feel a tiny sense of loss when it's over bc you loved it so much. Can't wait to read more of Ms. Bischof's novels. I'm a huge fan!

grabs you from the start! clean and amazing story

reading this book was a joy and I'm excited to try the authors other books . I couldn't quit listening. one of my favorite stories ever

A happy and healing love story

We all have broken or hurt parts of ourselves. I love the healing, hope, love and joy that this book portrays in even the darkest of personal struggles. So beautiful- a patient and pure love story.

Surprised by this sweet story

The narrator is a bit too delicate for the male parts, but the story is well done and this is a minor issue.

Sweet story of love and acceptance.

Charlie Lionheart

I absolutely love the way Joanne weaves a tale from one perspective and then the other. She tells the story in a third person narration but with special insight into first Ella’s perspective and then Charlie’s. This is so amazing and makes the fabric of the book so enchanting.

Great book!

I’m always excited to finally find another clean romance! And a Christian romance is even better! This book is NOT corny or cheesy. It’s very well written and interesting! The thing that kept me engrossed the most was that it was abt a LION TAMER! How fun and different! The most unique love story I believe I’ve listened to! I’m excited to check out more of Joanne’s books!

Great book! Listened to it in 1.5 days!

Loved the book, couldn’t stop listening to it all. Would recommend the story takes you on a journey and plays with your heart strings in all the right ways!

Fun clean story

A little long and drawn out and the male narrator had a high voice that, for me, didn’t fit the character BUT it’s an interesting story and a clean romance. So I’ll take it!

Fantastic

Best book I have read in a long time. Had to make myself stop listening to stop from listening all night.
