Lord of the Blade

Legacy of the Blade, Book 1

By: Elizabeth Rose

Narrated by: Kevin E Green

Lord Corbett Blake is determined to bring honor back to his family name. King Edward III has told him he needs to marry or lose his lands and title. Now he searches for the perfect lady.

Devon has been raised in secret in the monastery, put there by the sorcerer Orrick, 18 years ago before he disappeared. Now the black-hearted Lord of Steepleton has discovered her and is taking her to the castle as his servant.

Deception and secrets are many within the walls of Blake Castle, but they can't hold a candle to the passion that stirs between Corbett and his servant Devon - a woman who can destroy everything he is, with the power of just one kiss.

My thoughts

A good story by Elizabeth Rose, but here is my full disclosure: she wrote the characters well- Lord Corbett needed a good smack upside his dense head, the Baroness was insufferable, the Baron a doll, Malcolm- I hated at first, but grew to like, and Devon... Devon I did not like. I yelled at her, I wanted to throttle her or even smack her at times! But the hero loves whom he loves. I also need to admit I wasn't overly fond of the narrator- he did well in the general reading of the story & a couple of the characters, but the rest, meh. As always, use headphones for the bedroom scenes if children are present. 😉

He met his match!

This is a great story. It is captivating, intriguing and has a sassy heroine. It was a lot of fun mixed with wonderful romance. A must have.

Nice story, but ...

She was a tad bit Overly Dramatic throughout the whole book. It tempted me to skip forward past some of her witless fumblings. But, I resisted the urge. The guy was a little irritating too. Maybe all of that was intended. Some parts were predictable. I really liked the ending. I was wondering if they would do that one Other thing, and they did. Nice job on that part. Good narration too. The narrator's voice and tone bring more depth to the story. I could listen to him recite the alphabet and be just fine 🙂

Wonderful!

Elizabeth can keep my attention with the great tales she spins! It was well plotted and steadily built up with the twists and turns.
Kevin has the perfect accents for all of the characters! He kept me locked in.

Intriguing secret identity plot

I enjoyed the secret identity plot and the medieval setting. I'm looking forward to jumping into the next book in the series.
