Paved with Good Intentions

War for the Rose Throne, Book 5

By: Peter McLean

Narrated by: David Morley Hale, Daphne Kouma

Eline is a mother, a wife, and a survivor. But her life is about to change dramatically. Following an act of horrific - if righteous - vengeance, Eline is blackmailed into the service of the Queen's Men. She knows it will be a hard life of violence and fear. But Eline will do what it takes to survive, and to protect her children . . . and if she's lucky, she won't die in the process.

But the Queen's Men aren't just asking her to risk herself. They're asking her to risk everything she knows and loves. And if she fails . . . civil war and the deaths of everyone she loves will be just the beginning.

Could have listened for a dozen more hours

Incredibly entertaining story, and it ended well, but the ride was constantly a blast. The feeling when the roller coaster car comes to a stop. What now? Ferris wheel, try and win a stuffed giraffe? It’ll be hard to find something as fun.

Another excellent adventure

I really enjoy this series and this book was no exception. Great narrator, fun but different story that absolutely ties into the previous books. I'm looking forward to the next one!

I’ve been waiting two years for this book

I highly recommend getting this series from the first book to the last. I’ve enjoyed every minute action pack pretty good dark humor. people just doing what we have to do to survive. I love it.

Loved it!

So great to be back in this world !
I love the new direction of the story and all the new characters.
