About this listen
1333. Edward III is at war with Scotland. Nineteen-year-old Sir Harry de Lyon yearns to prove himself and jumps at the chance when a powerful English baron, William Montagu, invites him on a secret mission with a dozen elite knights.
They ride north, to a crumbling Scottish keep, capturing a feral, half-starved boy within and putting the other inhabitants to the sword.
But nobody knows why the flower of English knighthood snuck over the border to capture a savage, dirty teenage boy. Montagu gives the boy to Harry as his squire, with only two rules: don't let him escape, and convert him to the English cause.
At first, it's hopeless. The Scottish boy is surly and violent and eats anything that isn't nailed down. Then Harry begins to notice things: that, as well as Gaelic, the boy speaks flawless French, with an accent much different from Harry's Norman one. That he can read Latin too. And when Harry finally convinces the boy – Iain mac Maíl Coluim – to cut his filthy curtain of hair, the face revealed is the most beautiful thing Harry has ever seen.
With Iain as his squire, Harry wins tournament after tournament and becomes a favourite of the King. But underneath the pageantry smoulder twin secrets: Harry and Iain's growing passion for each other, and Iain's mysterious heritage. As England hurtles towards war once again, these secrets will destroy everything Harry holds dear.
A sexy, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers historical romance, Alex De Campi delivers a steamy but tender love story. "Brokeback Mountain" meets "50 Shades of Grey" set again the vivid backdrop of Medieval Britain. Perfect for fans of Madeline Miller's Song of Achilles, the novels of C. S. Pacat, and K.J. Charles.
This novel contains explicit sexual content and adult themes.

The place he was traded from as a changeling-baby, and a place he is terrified of. And while getting an endorsement shouldn't be impossible, it's hindered by the fact his literacy is self-taught, using books stolen off of Morrígan Academy's campus of high fey students.

Story
My path to success never included an enemy as a teammate, especially one as infuriating as Quinton de Haas. Clawing under my skin is his favorite pastime, only feeding the animosity between us as the years pass. We’re as completely opposite as two people can be; the golden boy and the black sheep. Constantly at odds or at each other’s throats. The only thing we can agree on is hockey is our true love, and we’ll do whatever it takes to come out on top. I never imagined that drive would lead me to do the unthinkable: falling into bed with my not-so-straight rival.

But nothing will stop Ambrose from making his mission succeed—not when he’s rescuing his own sister.

Ever since we met two years ago, Eden Burkehammer has made everything better. The big defenseman sets me at ease. He’s a beast on the ice—brutal and physical—but when it’s the two of us, he turns to me with these unexpectedly soft brown eyes. This gravelly laugh that makes my whole body smile. And yeah, I might have thrown a glance his way a time or two in the steamed-up locker room showers—you know, just curious. But he’s my best friend. My teammate. Roommate. I don’t want to mess with that. Just the thought of losing him sends a cold zap the full length of my spine.

Like all Necromancers, Cassius Corbin grew up knowing one irrevocable truth: death comes for us all. It was a lesson he learned well when his mother was murdered by fellow witches. Six years later, he is back in the town of Winslow, Massachusetts, to attend Tennebrose University. But that's not the only reason. While he's home, he intends to track down a magical folio stolen from his family centuries ago.

PERFECT.
I'd purchased this book through crowdfunding a billion years ago, but since I'm crap at reading these days, but decent at listening, jumped on the audiobook once I realized it was out. and good GOD am I glad I did. The performance is FANTASTIC. I don't think it would've been the same without hearing Ian's accent. Good GOD.
The story is fantastic. I'm familiar with Alex de Campi's work already and I never have quibbles. But THIS is an AMAZING rollercoaster. It's heart wrenching in the way it feels to have your own heart broken, and finds ways to put you back together in the most glorious fashion every time. Worth every second, every penny, every instant of your attention. I already want to listen to it again. I'm going to foist it onto every single person within hearing distance.
Also, gloriously filthy where it needs to be. Delicious. EXCELLENT..

Engaging and entertaining
The love story is wonderful. It’s based in the year 1333. So it’s a very long time ago and life was VERY different from what it is today. Don’t go into this with the mindset of life as it is today. There’s no internet or phones. No toilets or showers…no easy rides and lots of work. Justice system is still in its infancy and corruption is often over looked. So, to the person who said it was too creepy as a review title…this was almost 700 years ago. Life was not even close to what it is today.
I loved this book and have already listened to it twice. Excellent spice and story line.
I didn’t love the narrator but he did grow on me by mid book.

Didn't Finish, Too Creepy
(spoilers up to chapter 6)
Harry being a part of the group that butchered Ian's whole family (even if he didn't personally kill anyone) and then keeping Ian in chains afterward isn't the thing that bugs me. Him doing all that and THEN treating Ian like an animal to be trained up, joking about Ian's mom's death, ogling him, and berating him for not knowing how to do field work all while the narration acts like he's a sweet, innocent puppy boy is what ultimately made me give up on this.
I also think this narrator has a lovely voice but at this point I'm convinced no one at audible actually reads reads or understands the books before casting for them because he isn't well-suited to either of these characters. His voice is expressive and soft and a bit femme and could have been wonderful in any of the dozens of m/m books on this app with soft, femme male characters but somehow he got assigned to the masc4masc war bros book. It's so tiring especially when you've got books like Winter's Orbit being read by a deep-voiced, posh British man and its like why aren't these swapped? does anyone even care?
