A WONDERFUL STORY RUINED AGAIN BY NARRATOR...
- By MMason on 06-28-15
By: Kathryn Le Veque
Publisher's Summary
Big and burly, with a crown of vibrant red hair, as the son of the chief of Clan Munro, Jamison's path in life was more unconventional than those of his clansmen. Fostered in England and France, Jamison learned the ways of his adversaries before returning home to take his place at his father's side. But his father is a progressive thinker, knowing that in order to survive, his clan must become allies with the English. He knows that isolation will only bring destruction to his clan. Willem Munro has traveled the world, much like his son, and has made friends along the way. When his English friends to the south call upon him to help in their battle with the Welsh, Willem sends his only son.
Now, Jamison finds himself living with the English again as they do battle against the Welsh. Although highly trained in English tactics, and having many English friends, he cannot give himself over 100% to their ways. He sympathizes with the Welsh even as he plans battles against them. Outwardly supporting the English, he is nonetheless torn.
When the call goes out to defend Four Crosses Castle against a Welsh attack, Jamison rides to the siege and finds himself caught up in a nasty battle. With the gatehouse breached, he charges in to defend the occupants only to be attacked by one occupant in particular. What he first believes to be a small and slender knight, he soon finds out to be someone else. He is met with ferocity by a skilled lady warrior.
Lady Havilland de Llion is the daughter of the lord of Four Crosses Castle. Part-Welsh, her family is nonetheless loyal to the English and to de Lohr. When she sees the big Scotsman, she assumes he is siding with the Welsh and goes after him with a vengeance. Even upon discovering his loyalties, she doesn't believe him and their fight goes on long after the battle itself is finished. But soon enough, the contention between them turns to something else.
Politics, battles, loyalties, and roaring passions play out in a story of high emotion and high adventure. To the big Scots knight known as The Red Lion, nearly everything in his life has come at a price, but in the battle for Havilland's affections, there is no price that he will not pay.

The Red Lion 🐱
I needed my Le Veque fix so. I decided to start the "Highland Warriors of Munro" series. This first book "The Red Lion" is a solid medieval love story that is more on the "sweet" side than many other medieval books written by Kathryn Le Veque. It's different from what most readers have come to expect but as long as you go into this book with this knowledge it shouldn't be an issue.😉
I really enjoyed the characters. Jamison is a strong Scottish warrior who meets his match with Havilland, who is English and a warrior in her own right. Their journey begins with some funny moments then builds to a sweet romance. 💟
I thoroughly enjoyed Brad Wills' narration. He is always a delight to listen to. 😁
This is definitely worth a listen for those who enjoy sweet medieval romances.

Just Terrific ......but a rushed, weak ending.
Any additional comments?
The characters of Lady Havilland and Jamison are very well drawn. I enjoyed spending time with them. The story is very strong as is the narration. Brad Wills is excellent at creating distinctive and appropriate voices for each character.OK...
Semi-Spoiler alert...My one problem with the book is the end. In the last big assault on Four Crosses Castle, Havilland is dragged from the castle and Jamison saves her. Then....they then have a loooong heart to heart talk about what they mean to each other and their future. Full of very sweet sentiment but ...For Gosh Sakes....behind them somewhere, the castle is under siege and people are dying. It was as though since they were safe they didn't care who was fighting and dying and we never find out what happened to the Castle.
One thing I like about Kathryn Le Veque's books is that she does not inject modern values into her Middle Ages characters. However, in this book, the last chapter does just this; the "enemy" clan chief decides to go all Cum-bah-ya and lay down his arms without any concessions at all from Jamison. I expected his warriors to start swaying, light cigarette lighters and break into John Lennon's "Imagine". It felt like the end was very rushed and the author was anxious to move on to the next book in the series and it was time to wrap everything up quickly.
All this said, but for this, the book is very well researched and written; the characters very likeable and interesting. I enjoyed it very much.

Beautifully Rendered and Artfully Produced!
Any additional comments?
A story from Kathryn Le Veque, narrated by Brad Wills, is not just a story narrated, dear reader. It is an experience. Your senses liven. You will thrill to the moment, the smell of the surroundings, the palpable danger and fear, the richly characterized players. Frankly put, Brad Wills is my go-to narrator. It’s obvious he quite successful. Please take a moment to read his biography below.
I read The Red Lion four months past. This review discusses both book content and production.
However, principally, this review is my thoughts on the production of this marvelous story. As I listened, I picked up on certain humor I’d missed on the first go-around. Where I hadn’t chuckled with the read, I did with the listen. With the read, I’d missed the absolute marvel of how over-the-top hysterical Havilland can become, what force and ferocious determination emanates from her second sister, Madeleine. The scene when Madeleine meets with her neighbor is quite astounding. I crept up close to what was happening, hid behind the bush with Jamison Munro and heard it all. And reacted much as Munro had. Another scene which totally flew off any page of writing, is Madeleine’s rendition of the truth as she tells her younger sister, Amaline, what Sir Jamison did to her lover.
The voice of the serving woman, loyal to Havilland’s family, is brilliant. I see her very clearly – such an old crone, stooped with age, hands knurled with years of work.
And now a bit on the story.
Jamison Munro is part of The Lions of the Highland. He, along with Beaux, Kendrick and Caspian are sons of clan chiefs and each will have their own story in this new series.
Jamison is sent back to England, where he fostered by his father, for protection against the MacKenzies, who are out to get rid of him. He is back with the de Lohr men. If you’ve read any of this author’s work, you will be familiar with this lot. They are a rare breed among men. While there, he is caught up with the Welsh who, like most Scottish, do not tolerate them on land they consider theirs.
The de Llion sisters, half English, half Welsh have my admiration. They were dealt a hard hand. Their father had been mentally ill for some time. They simply hid this fact. All three sisters, Havilland, Madeline, and Amaline, are warriors, made so by their father. He had no sons, so his daughters were his sons. His decision shaped the lives of his daughters until they knew nothing else except battles and protecting Four Crosses Castle against their enemies – the Welsh. The castle and its occupants had all sided with the English.
Havilland is the stronger of the lot, Madeline, fiercely protective of her sister, however, Madeline has her own secrets and wishes for the keep, only complicating Havilland’s need to safeguard her family’s home. Amaline, age 15, is very sensitive to both her sisters’ wishes, although she knows Madeline has a nasty streak in her, as you will discover in the story.
Jamison is a man of strength, both physical and morally. When he meets the de Llion sisters, he is captivated by Havilland. Here is a woman he could respect, and yes, could love, if only she wouldn’t send a dagger his way first!
I more than recommend this new series for readers who haven’t had enough of the highlands, love excitement of a good battle, both in love and war, and who like their reads demanding their attention in all directions. Nothing is ever easy in the land of Kathryn Le Veque.
My last thought I wish to share is I would listen to this story, again, in a heartbeat. When I wish to read the book again, Wills’ voice will haunt each page. So much emotion, distrust, anger, and eventually, trust, love and happiness. It will sate your every emotion!

Better than a sleeping pill.
Go figure how this audiobook got so many positive reviews. Personally, I found it profoundly boring. The only thing not boring about it was the narrator who, although he has deep resonate male voices, his female characters sound like Monty Python drag queen characters. So bad it's funny, but since it's not intended as comedy it doesn't really work.

Good story
I bought this book in 2018 and started listening to it. About an hour and a half in I couldn’t Listen anymore. The narrator is so bad at women’s voices that he ruined a pretty good story for me. In 2019 I was out of credits so decided to try to listen again. I like the story very much but again, because of the narrator I could only give it four stars. He really needs to think about getting a woman partner to narrate the women’s voices.

hurried performance and shallow character
I bought it because the narrator has done some great work in the past, and while the voices were good, inflections were often wrong and just painful for female characters. the whole thing was read very stilted and rushed. the plot was solid but the writing was shallow and instead of letting the reader unfurl the characters through actions and natural minutia, it was just blatantly stated. Rather boring.
On a plus, without meaning to, some scenes were so bad they were comical.

Narration RUINED the story
The narration was so horrific that I barely made it through the audiobook. I had listened to Brad Wills narrate the first book and it was rough but not quite as bad as this one. I actually had to take off my earphones and fastforward certain parts because his female voice was so shrill and grating. Normally I'm okay listening to narrators I don't prefer or even like much but this was nearly unbearable. I seldom spend time writing reviews but the narration was that bad.

I really loved the depth of emotion from these two MC's however I was really disappointed when I thought their story was about to get deeper, it cuts to the epilogue!! What??!! No love scenes at all?! Just one with her sister and her secret lover. I LOVE Kathryn's books anyway but this one left me wanting more, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. ;)

Funny women's voices
The male narrator gave the characters silly voices. While the hero sounded manly and believable, the female characters sounded like drag queens who'd had too many cocktails. It was distracting.

Story
Lista de la Mere is a young woman of beauty, sense, and education. Unfortunately, her mother and her aunt don’t have the same sensibilities. Lista is an heiress, and a very wealthy one, and if her conniving, alcoholic mother and her sly, drug-addicted aunt have anything to say about it, she’s going to marry the man who can provide them with unlimited coinage to feed their habits–and put them back on top of the social hierarchy.

Story
1200 A.D.—After decades of warring between the Lairds of Kerr and Prudhoe Castle in Northumbria, a tentative peace is reached. The Lady Carington Kerr is sent to Prudhoe as a hostage to ensure her father's good behavior, and a more reluctant hostage there never was. Small and dark, with emerald eyes and a luscious figure, she is as gorgeous as she is fiery. Enter Sir Creed de Reyne; a gentle giant of a man, he is, by nature, calm and wise. He is the ice to Carington's fire.

Truth. Justice. Revenge. Behind these stands The Scotsman's Sword. When Lor Careston's quiet Highland village was attacked and burned, he felt helpless against the raiders who destroyed his home. Seeking revenge, but lacking the fighting skills he needs to execute his mission, he sets out to find the Ludus Caledonia - a mysterious fight guild that turns men into warriors.

They call him the Great Defender. As Richard the Lionheart's most powerful general, Sir Juston de Royans is as moody as he is skilled. Reminiscent of the ancient warrior Achilles, Juston fights when it is necessary, instead choosing to command the powerful men beneath him. Never wrong in action or command, he has never lost a battle, and when he finds himself in the midst of a terrible siege at Bowes Castle, he predictably emerges the victor, with the lady of the keep as his prize.
