Lord of the Knight

Gentlemen of Knights, Book 7

By: Elizabeth Johns

Narrated by: Alex Wyndham

Desperation, jealousy, intrigue . . . unrequited love.

Lady Maria Mottram was plain by ton standards. Yet, gentlemen were drawn to her for her pleasing wit, ability to speak of their favorite pastimes, and for her lofty family connections which made her very handsome indeed. Until one wretched day when her family's name was attached to scandal. Swept away by friends to Paris, Maria is faced with a whole new heartache of watching the man she has loved forever be captivated by another, and her needing to marry quickly.

Captain Lord Philip Everleigh was one of England's most dashing heroes. Every man wanted to be him and every lady wanted to have him. He was one of Wellington's most trusted spies, working under the cover of diplomacy. Numbed with the world of glittering intrigue, he finally finds a beautiful Archduchess who stirs his blood.

Philip and Maria had been close friends since childhood, but Philip's good judgement appears to be lost to his infatuation.

Will Maria be able to save him before its too late? Will she lose Philip forever and resign herself to a loveless marriage?

Fun series!

Angst and redemption. The whole enchilada! No spoilers here, just a firm recommendation as worth the listen.

Couldn’t stop listening!

Wonderful characters and a story one wants to end well for the hero and heroine. The narrator is superb as well.

It's wasn't the best in the series!

I they are all starting to run together with nothing to make them stand out. it was ok. I'm not super excited that I spent money on it.

Entertaining but not great

The storyline is pretty good, but lacks pizazz. Characters were interesting but somewhat lacklustre. Usually a great narrator like AW can bring life and excitement to the characters...not this time.

Favorite characters but weak solution to problem

This series is one of my favorites in regency romance, but this book has weakest plot of the series, feels unfinished by not dealing with the serious historical issues.
