Publisher's summary

1231 A.D.

After a nasty skirmish along the England/Scotland border at Bog Wood, a badly wounded knight has crawled off to die. As women from the Clan Scott fan out across the battlefield to collect the spoils of war, one woman breaks off from the pack. She is sickened by the tradition of stealing valuables off the dead and runs off to hide. In her hiding place, however, lingers the badly wounded knight. The young woman is frightened at first but her natural instinct to lend aid takes over. She tends the knight and saves his life. Little does the Lady Jordan Scott know that she has just saved the life of the dreaded English knight known to her people as The Wolf.

Beautiful Epic Romance

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Once u set the audio speed to 1.25 the story flows and you get carried away into another time. Honestly this story is full of drama, romance and plenty of laughter. I listened to the 35 hour book over 3 days. That's how engaging the story was, with plenty of laugh out loud moments. This book was fun.

Who was your favorite character and why?

William and Jordan. The interaction between these two characters was hilarious. She had him wrapped around her little finger and he knew it. And I loved his reactions to her.

What about Guy Veryzer’s performance did you like?

There is something wrong with the audio speed, another reviewer mentioned it. When you first listen the voice is too slow and drags unnaturally. At 1.25 speed on the audible apps settings the readers voice is perfect. I found him engaging and fun to listen to. And his portrayal of the different characters was wonderful. I loved his William and Paris especially.

Any additional comments?

The size of this audiobook is really like 3 books in one. I loved the length of this book. It gives the story and characters time to develop. Honestly if you love Historical Romance, you'll love this.

Just couldn't finish this one.

I couldn't get past the narrator. My goodness the first chapter was long and drawn out. The further I got the worse it got.

I didn't make it an hour!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I thought the narrator's voice was a joke at first. I kept waiting....it was no joke. I really wanted to listen to this book! I guess I will read it instead! I want a refund!

What could Kathryn Le Veque have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

A different narrator.

Would you be willing to try another one of Guy Veryzer’s performances?

NO!

I loved it!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book has such a strong plot, rich in the history this series creates. The voice of the narrator takes that story and heats it up to a whole other level. Guy Veryzer is the best. He brought the story to life. A must read for Medieval Lovers!

Easily the WORST narration I've ever listened to

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A narrator that doesn't sound like he's slogging through thick mud.

Would you ever listen to anything by Kathryn Le Veque again?

NO

How did the narrator detract from the book?

His reading is slow, ponderous, and his pronunciations seem contrived.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No

Any additional comments?

The writing is also overdone. Overdone descriptions, overly wordy. I couldn't get through more than 2 hours of the narration, so maybe the book improves, I don't know.

review of the wolfe

What did you love best about The Wolfe?

I just really loved the story the intrigue, plot twists, characters, the strong friendships and lastly the love stories! I have purchased the kindle edition, the paperback and now to have the audiobook is just fabulous to listen to as well. The hero William de Wolfe and the heroine Jordan Scott are also such wonderful characters that I just instantly adored them! There is such strong character development of the hero, heroine and even some of the minor characters that you can easily imagine everyone that they almost seem real!

What does Guy Veryzer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I at first didn't think Mr. Guy Veryzer voice fit with the character of William de Wolfe but as the story progressed I could easily see his voice for some of the other characters and he even voiced the women fairly well. When I imagined two of the women Jemma Scott and Aloria I just could see that his voice fit for them. Mr. Guy Veryzer voice seemed more fitting as Paris or Kieran. I think the less I tried to just picture his voice fitting the characters and pay more attention to the story made me much happier. Mr. Guy Veryzer had an almost soothing calming tone to his voice but his voice didn't sound monochromatic either. There was definite distinction and separation between plot points and other characters.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When the heroine Jordan learns of William's injury leaving him near death and her insistance to go and take care of him. In her explanation to the king of why she is there and her dogged determination to save William not only moves me to read it in the kindle edition but to listen to it as well. Even Mr. Veryzer voice sounded a bit sorrowful but somewhat seemingly resolute in intonation.

Any additional comments?

I am glad that this novel of Ms. Le Veque is now in audio book despite not liking Mr. Guy Veryzer voice at first the storyline is fantastic and I did stop trying to picture who his voice sounded more like growing to like his voice as just the narrator as the story progressed.

So captivating

What did you love best about The Wolfe?

Kathryn Le Veque’s book THE WOLFE literally took my breath away. I devoured every pages and I couldn’t stop reading it's a real page turner! I loved, very much, Sir William de Wolfe and Lady Jordan , two independent and stubborn characters! So I had to listen to it as an audio!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Wolfe?

I loved that the time period was medieval and the story took place in Scotland and England, perfect setting for this story.

Have you listened to any of Guy Veryzer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

To be honest, I liked his voice, but I would have loved a little bit more of intonation in his voice!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Really breathtaking!

Any additional comments?

I am a huge fan, of Ms. Le Veque's books!

Loved it!

I loved this story. The characters are well rounded and likable. Best of all, none of them are stupid. (you know...'I love him, but can't tell him,even though he told me he loves me')
There is none of that nonsense. There is however, a believable, interesting storyline. This is a long book - but I was never board with it. I did not have a problem with the narrator. I thought he did a great job with the female and male voices and accents. I did set the voice speed on my ipod to "fast" (it is usually set on "normal") because it seemed that the voice was too slow. After I adjusted the setting the narrator sounded great. There are some sexy bedroom scens because that's what it's like in real life - not too graphic. (This book has enough going on with the storyline not to need graphic) I look forward to reading more from Kathryn Le Veque. YES, this is worth a credit.

I tried but just could not finish

What did you like best about The Wolfe? What did you like least?

I liked the plot and the storyline, but the narrator spoilt it for me

How could the performance have been better?

The narration was very slow, I don't know if this is a problem with the recording or the narrator, but even trying to listen to this book on a faster speed, made it sound like a robot. I felt like the narrator did not enjoy reading this book as the was no life nor feeling in this narration.

Any additional comments?

I have listened a few of Kathryn Le Venue's books and am now a great fan, I was really looking forward to listening to this book, but the narration just spoilt it for me, would like to see the narration fixed, as I would still like to listen to this book

A beautiful love story

Jordan and William are so good in all ways. They are both stubborn, kind, wilful and a great match once they get past the Scottish / English fighting. It is a well written story of honour and friendship, love and Jealousy. The characters are strong and lovely to read about. I have read this book 4 times and listened to it three times. I just love The Wolf and his knights and Jordan, Gemma and Calli. Although it is a love story it is also set in the past were knights were bold and fought for honour and family. It is historical but not boring. A great read. It is well worth the time it takes to read it. Thank you for writing it.

The Wolfe

This book is amazing. It has taken me a long while to complete it. At first the narration was very slow, but as the story went on so the narration got better. The story tells of the English King was fed up of the fighting between the English and the Scottish clans. So he arranged a marriage between Lord de Longley who was English and Jordan Scott who was the daughter of a Scottish Laird. He sent a team of knights to collect Jordan. It took many days to travel from Scotland to where the Earl lived in England. The story is of a love story between Jordan and the Knight called the Wolfe. The Scottish Clans and the English fought despite the arrangement of Jordan and the Earl.
The Earl soon picked up that Wolfe loved Jordan and he arranged a secret marriage between them. There were so many things in this book, love, wars, marriage, babies, that it is difficult to pin point them without giving everything away. I enjoyed this book immensely. The narration was better the more the book went on. I loved this book and I will definitely listen to it again at some point.

Epic Medieval Romance

Over 35 hours of listening to the delicious romance of Scottish Jordon and her English Wolfe. I loved the detail. The story was filled with romance and action, a bit of mischief and border politics, some intrigue and a whole lot more. Perhaps 37 hours of listening was a little too long but the plot seemed to manage the length well.

Guy Veryzer did a good job of performing the narrative. He gave each character's personality the proper attention it deserved and overall brought the story to life.

If you like Medival romances, this book is definitely worth a listen. I am now committed and cannot wait to hear the remaining books in the series.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Dreadful!

The narration on this is so bad that I contacted audible thinking there was a fault. However, I've been informed that the sound is fine and GV is supposed to sound like he's been drugged! It improves a little if you speed it up, but it's still painful to listen to and I eventually gave up.

The Wolfe is a great story, but until there's another audio version released I'll stick to the book and strongly recommend that others do the same.

Is this narrator a computer?

The story. Is brilliant and extremely enjoyable.

I had to read this story as I couldn't not stomach the narrator, I am sure it was a computer programme reading this. This thoroughly ruined the book for me. Please consider having this re-narrated.

Loved the extra long story

It's refreshing to come across a story with a substantial word count and character development. On the downside, Lady Jordan was often too stupid to live and so story could become hard to listen to. On the whole it's still worth listening to.
