When three young children are separated when their father commits treason against the King of England, romance, excitement, and intrigue abound. Follow each of their stories in this exciting new series!

1338 A.D. - Exiled to a convent after her father’s execution for treason, Katelyn de Blays has fleeting memories of the man she adored and the outside world. When her brother’s search leads him to find Katelyn after many years, she is eager to leave with Landon and begin a new life. He brings her to the court of her cousin, Edward III, who betroths Katelyn to a powerful earl of Northumberland, using her as a political pawn to show his continued support of his northern noblemen.

When Sir Nicholas Mandeville returns from patrolling his family’s lands along the Scottish border, he discovers his father has died - and left a widow - whom his uncle wed Nicholas to by proxy during his absence. Angry at becoming the Earl of Northmere and having no choice regarding his wife, Nicholas vows to leave the widow untouched until he knows whether or not she carries his father’s child.

As time passes and Nicholas loses his heart to this brave, young woman, he is astonished to learn Katelyn wishes for their union to be annulled. Can he convince Kate to remain wed to him - or will Nicholas sacrifice his own happiness and let the enigmatic beauty go?

Each book in The King’s Cousins Trilogy is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.

The Pawn

Most definitely a 5 Star book as well as a 5 Star narration! I initially bought this book and audiobook because I love every book I've read by Alexa Aston. Then needless to say the cover is beyond amazing, I love the red hair against that beautiful backdrop. As I listened to Brad Wills wonderful narration skills at work, I confess I chose to picture Kate as a redhead instead of the raven hair of the character. You will fall in love with Kate and Nicholas after hearing their romantic story! Alexa Aston never disappoints! 💗

A great historical romance

This was a wonderful story full or love, heartache, and tough decisions. The characters were completely believable, and i really enjoyed how the narration added tone and voice to the choices they were forced to make. Brad Wills did an excellent job at portraying the different characters, and the story had a lovely flow.

Family drama……….

Keeps you guessing about what’s coming next. Family drama is intense with intrigue and drama.
Wonderfully written along with excellent narration.

Exciting!

I really enjoyed this one! It was exciting from start to finish! Brad Will has the narration down pat. He does all of the voices with precision. He gives emotion to every character and he has the ability to make me think I am watching a movie!

LOVE THE NARRATOR

Brad Wills enhanced an excellent story. Hope he does more work for Alexa Aston

love this book!

I loved this book it was a great story! Brad Wills did an awesome job as usual, he has the perfect voice for narration.

The Pawn

This was a well titled story, as the main character is made to be a pawn in a number of ways throughout the book. But she survives it all with the grace of a lady and wins her knight while battles are made all around her.

Narration was weird

The story was very high school and expected. I listen because I paid for it.

Narrator ruined it

I wanted to like this book, but the narration on this book was horrible. Some men just shouldn’t attempt what they think a woman’s voice sounds like!
