ShadowWolfe

De Wolfe Pack Series, Book 4

By: Kathryn Le Veque

Narrated by: Sean Patrick Hopkins

AD 1272. Recovering from a great tragedy that had befallen his family, Scott de Wolfe, eldest son of William de Wolfe and Jordan Scott, has become a career knight with no feeling, no compassion. As a premier knight for Henry III, Scott has been tasked with the management of the massive fortress of Castle Canaan after the death of the castle's commander. Although it seems like a simple enough task, little does Scott know that the moment he enters this fortress is the moment his life will change... forever.

Lady Avrielle du Rennic is reeling over the death of her husband, and she blames de Wolfe for it. Fed by grief, she lashes out at the big knight who has come to take her husband's place and, eventually, take the fortress. Scott has no patience for the woman in mourning, but he stops short of punishing her because she is the mother to three small children.

When Scott happens to save one of her children from certain doom, a path of healing and understanding begin for them both. But when the king intervenes to take Avrielle and her children away, Scott must fight for what has become precious to him. He cannot stand to lose another family.

A deep and passionate love is born from the ashes of grief in this stunning medieval romance, part of the de Wolfe Pack series.

Wonderful!

Kathryn is simply brilliant! She can write tales like no other! She puts all the emotions into my head.
Sean is a great narrator. He can take me right along with the characters.

ShadowWolfe

I would not necessarily call this a romance. It has romantic elements, but it is more of a story of a grieving man and his journey to be whole and to find happiness again. I think that Kathryn Le Veque does an excellent job of writing about men who are strong but not afraid to show emotions. The most beautiful scenes in this book were not the love scenes between Scott and Avrielle, but rather the scenes between father, son, and friends. If you are a true romance junkie you maybe disappointed with this book, but I loved it. Was I disappointed? Yes, a little bit at first, but my disappointment was replaced by awe. This is superb storytelling. It lets you know that the author loves taking her readers on a journey.

Emotional

I enjoyed this story narrated by Sean Patrick Hopkins. Scott de Wolfe’s story of grief and newfound love is one of Kathryn Le Veque’s best.

Wolfe’s

I’m loving the Wolfe Series. I wish they were all on audible. I love the way I can easily go back & forth from reading to listening.
This book was hard to take. It was too deep into one’s grief. Toward the end it was lighter, so that’s what I liked the most.
All said, it was another good book in the Wolfe Family Saga!
