Great Protector

De: Kathryn Le Veque

Narrado por: Michael Troughton

1402 A.D. - Eighteen years ago, Sir Richmond le Bec, a knight in the service of Henry of Bolingbroke, was tasked with a mission of great importance. Young Henry had an affair with a married woman who bore him a child, and the woman's husband vowed to kill both his wife and the child she birthed. Richmond was charged with taking the baby to safety and acting as her protector. Even though Richmond has risen to become Henry's greatest knight, the protection of his illegitimate daughter has been his most important task. For eighteen years he has watched over the girl, ensuring her health and safety, as she is raised by another family, unaware of her true identity.

The Lady Arissa de Lohr has always loved Sir Richmond, the man who she believes is only a family friend. The powerful, handsome knight has always been in her heart and on the day of her eighteenth birthday, she can no longer keep her feelings to herself. Although she has been pledged to Whitby Abbey since infancy and knows that, upon reaching maturity, she will be delivered to the abbey as a novice nun, she has no desire to be sequestered away from Richmond. She loves the man, and she will have him.

Confessing their feelings to each other is only the beginning of their adventure, for dark forces are at work against both Arissa and Richmond, threatening to tear the lovers apart.

King Henry goes to battle against Owen Glendower, who has been made aware of the king's secret illegitimate daughter and seeks to claim the girl to use against her father. Richmond is caught in the middle, protecting Arissa from the Welsh Rebels even as he fights Henry to keep her from being committing to Whitby.

Intrigue, battles, life, death and love blend in the greatest story yet of true love and the lengths Richmond will go to in order to have his beloved Arissa. He is more than willing to risk his life for the her in this epic tale of ultimate romance.

A love story for the ages

The story begins with many loose ends for the characters. Skillfully they are woven together. The threads gets knots and tangles but, in the end a beautiful tapestry of love has been woven.

it was okay...

Narrator was great and brought the story to life, but there was not enough substance. I skipped forward at times to avoid excessive talk that, in my opinion, didn't add anything to the story, Curiosity and the narrator kept me going.

Great Protector

How many ways can I tell you that Kathryn Le Veque is a Master writer? ALL of her books are phenomenal, including the contemporary ones. This is yet a 5 Star book, as well as a 5 Star performance by Michael Troughton. Hated to see/hear this one end. 💗

I think this one is my favorite

I really enjoyed this book. I hated how she ended it so fast. this is one she could have continued another hour or another book. like the Wolfe. I'm sure I'll be listening to it again in the future. it's that sweet and romantic.

Awesome!!

Wonderful May/December romance. You just can't go wrong with a book from Kathryn le Veque. All the feels you'll ever need in a story to keep you enthralled to the very end. Brian J. Gill was superb as usual.
