Seducing the Sorcerer

By: Lee Welch

Narrated by: Joel Leslie

Homeless and jobless, Fenn Todd has nearly run out of hope. All he has left are his longing for horses and the strength of his own two hands. But when he's cheated into accepting a very ugly sackcloth horse, he's catapulted into a world of magic, politics, and desire.

Fenn's invited to stay at the black tower, home of the most terrifying man in the realm: Morgrim, the court sorcerer. Morgrim has a reputation as a scheming villain, but he seems surprisingly charming—and sexy—and Fenn falls hard for him.

However, nothing is as it seems, and everyone at the tower is lying about something. Beset by evil hexes, violent political intrigue, and a horse that eats eiderdowns, Fenn must make the hardest choices of his life.

Can a plain man like Fenn ever find true love with a scheming sorcerer?

A gem of a book

I loved the unexpected surprises and turn of events throughout the story. I only wish it was even longer.

Fantastic

I loved everything about this story. From the down on your luck, Fenn, but with an attitude of never giving up. To a sorcerer that has lost his magic. I enjoyed that both these ppl are over 40 and have enough world experience to share. The base of the story itself is as old as time, politics, family drama, and the author does a good job keeping it relevant without overwhelming us getting to know the two MC's.
Joel Leslie has done another amazing job with all the voices and kept me entertained throughout

Very Good

When I audio-read from a new author, I never know what to expect, but as you'd imagine, they're mostly middling. This novel is refreshingly sweet and also has depth in characters and plot.

DNF for now

I might get through it, seems like it might be a good story. I like Joel Leslie in general but don't understand the directorial/artistic choice of the fake accent of the main narration. It's jarring and makes it hard to actually enjoy.

If you don't like horses, this book isn't for you.

I feel like the book title should have had something with the word "horse" in it considering just how much the book has to do with horses. I feel like this is the book you give to someone before you give them a book featuring horse play.
