The Lion’s Lady

The Lion’s Lady audiobook free

This is a great book full of funny moments, sweet moments and action. Christina is such an interesting heroine. She grew up with the American Indians and eventually returned England. She met Lyon right in the first chapter and it’s been exciting ever since. Some of the things she does and say are fitting as an American Indian but not an English woman in the early 1800’s. It was funny seeing how it baffled Lyon. Their attraction for each other was there right from the start. They have great chemistry. I like that she is strong and very capable and compassionate. Lyon is such a strong alpha male who treats her very well and you can see how much she affected him and how much he cared about her right from the beginning. Their love and attraction for each other is easy to see and feel throughout the book.

The plot is very interesting also. This book has a lot of action and doesn’t spend that much time on inner monologue, which I appreciate. I’ve read this book at least 4 times throughout the years and it’s just as great this last time. I can see me reading this again in the future. This is the best one in this series. I recommend this book.

The Lion’s Lady audiobook Series Shifters Unbound

This is the first book in Garwood’s Crown Spies series that focuses on the men (and in a few cases, women) that worked for British Intelligence in the late early 1800’s.

Alexander Michael Phillips, the Marquess of Lyonswood (“Lyon” to those who know him), is retiring from working for the government after many years of service to the crown. He is also never getting married again after losing his wife and child in childbirth… not so much because he mourns their loss, but more so because the child was not his: it was his brother’s; thus, he has serious trust issues when it comes to the fairer sex. Yet here he is out at a society function for the first time in a very long time as escort to his younger sister who is having her first season when he hears of an interesting new arrival: “Princess Christina.” Little is known about her background except that she is the daughter of a gentleman, and she was not raised in England as her history only goes back two months’ time to when she arrived to live with her aunt. A good mystery has always intrigued Lyon, and though he has given intelligence gathering up the official capacity, his curiosity gets the better of him, especially when he meets her and sees that she is not only the most beautiful woman he has ever seen but is also very different from any lady he has ever known.

Until very recently, Christina lived with a Native American tribe and was raised as one of them, though her tribal parents hired a tutor for her to learn “white language” and mannerisms as they knew eventually she would need to return to England to assume her position among the other young ladies of her ilk. As the story unfolds, the reader gets pieces of a journal Christina’s mother wrote before she passed away, and the story of how she ended up in the Dakotas with the tribe is revealed. Christina must return to claim her heritage or it will default to her father, a man she knows from her mother’s entries to be ruthless and cruel; thus, she refuses to allow that to happen. To ensure it does not, Christina must marry before her 19th birthday which is only a few weeks away. She plans to be married “temporarily” as she wishes most to return to where she considers her home to be: with her tribe, but once she meets Lyon, she cannot deny that spending more time with him holds quite a bit of appeal.

The more (or less) Lyon learns about Christina, the more he is intrigued – who is this woman and where did she come from? Her mannerisms and misuse of the English language amuse him, and her passion sets him on fire. As much as he swore to never give his heart to a woman again, he cannot help but fall in love with Christina. But can Lyon convince her to stay with him? And what will happen when her life is in danger?

Audio The Lion’s Lady narrated by Cris Dukehart

I first read this in 1990. It was the first book of Garwoods I’d read and I fell in love with The Lyons Lady as well as the writer! Its a perfect blend of entertaining characters and well thought out plot. Word choices and situations frequently made me laugh out loud.
I re-bought this book just a few weeks ago. I’ve probably bought this book five or more times. When I want to hook a reader on Garwood, this is my choice. I never get the book back after loaning it out! When I got the book, I was half afaid to read it. I was worried it hadn’t aged well, as some books don’t. But it hadden’t! It is still as fresh and amusing as the first read.
If you’re thinking of buying your first Garwood book, I recommend this one. If you don’t like it, you’ll know not to buy any more of her books. But I suspect you will love it, as I did. It is a jewel in the crown of Historical Romance genre.

I liked this book. It could have been a little more detailed and the ending could have been a little more creative. Also I felt they could have given the heroine more likeable qualities. All in all it was a good read though.
