A wonderful read. The writing is telling to a entertaining read. As I continue to read I was hooked from the point of Magnus could still scare the living daylights out of his eldest son. I sort giggled at that part. I loved the story from the matriarch himself of a love story that began years ago. Their story was truly one that had its moments of Will villages burn or continue to grow. I also like how Patrick’s mom and other ladies are referred to as specific jewels. The story is one of family, history, love and loyalty. I give this story two snaps and a twist. Until next time my fellow readers. Read on! I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

An Excellent Medieval Romance

Could love beat the odds? Magnus meant to rescue Delaina; he did not plan to fall in love with her. Nevertheless, the unthinkable happened. One of the legendary de Wolfes fell in love with a courtesan. So began a heart-wrenching story of love and sacrifice. Could their love prevail? There were many obstacles in their way. There were those who would separate them. Delaina was a woman who had no control over her life, and there were those who would want to keep her enslaved. What choices would she make to remain free? What sacrifices must she make to keep the man she loved from losing his honor? This story kept me turning the pages from beginning to end. I recommend it to lovers of medieval romance, full of angst and action.

I've read a number of this author's books and have enjoyed them all and this one also did not disappoint. Ms. Le Veque has a way with creating medieval stories that really pull you in and you feel like you are experiencing everything yourself and you get immersed in the medieval time period. Magnus de Wolfe is captain of the King's Guard. He comes from a powerful and noble family. Delaina is a most sought after courtesan, and Magnus does the unthinkable and falls in love with her, a woman his family would never accept. Magnus is caught between following his duty and protecting his family's reputation and following his heart.
This beautiful story of two star-crossed lovers grabbed my attention from the very start and held it all the way through. The strong and unforgettable characters captured my heart and I couldn't stop reading. An absolutely brilliantly written novel!

Magnus de Wolfe commands the king's guard. Men fear his power and strength. The night he meets Delaina, his honor and compassion as a knight compels him to come to her rescue. A woman who has no control over her life is given hope for a new one with Magnus, until circumstances force them apart. What a love story. Grabs you from the first page. Definitely not a disappointment!

Finding A Way

I enjoyed Magnus and Delaina's story. It was quite different, but I kept an opened mind and at the end I was quite satisfied. You fall in love with who you fall in love with. For the time period, I could thoroughly understand the sensitivity and concerns of all involved. This made the story more intriguing for me personally. I couldn't help but hope for them. Also, Denys de Winter was intriguing to me. I enjoyed Patrick "Atty" de Wolfe all of his siblings and Titus...though, I did want more Birdie.

Kathryn Le Veque never lets her reader down. Magnus was amazing, loving a woman many would find unworthy and Delaina was willing to sacrifice all to save his future.

This story was filled with love and sacrifice and forgiveness and loss and more love. I find myself in tears more than once and truly felt such agony for our two leads. Have the tissues handy, but read this book because it's amazing. Such tremendous writings, deep and honest characters, a believable but gut wrenching plot all work to make a book you'll want to read and then read again! I cannot recommend this book enough, read it, you'll not be sorry.

I wasn’t sure that I wanted to read this book, after reading the synopsis. So thankful that I did! This is truly a wonderful love story. Unconditional love that lasts for both the hero and the heroine. Magnus knew this day would come, but was never ready for the full disclosure it would bring.
Magnus and Delaina met under very disturbing circumstances. She, as one of the crown jewels, and he, as the King’s Captain of the Guard. When Delaina’s current arrangement ends suddenly, she immediately understands the position she is in. She does not want to become the property of the Heir and must find a safe place to hide. What she didn’t realize, is that is not her only enemy. Magnus has fallen hard for the beautiful woman and vows to protect her with everything he can. Except, he can’t. He becomes a broken man and Delaina is lost to him. Or maybe not?
This is such an great love story!

An intriguing story, full of suspense, secrets and the memorable characters that are always part of this author's stories.

A strong warrior, coming from bloodlines that reach back to the vikings.
A beautiful, strong woman, who would appear not suitable for said warrior.

But that will not stop love from sparking magic between them. A simply wonderful romance!

I eagerly await each of Kathryn's books on their release day. I almost always sit down and read the entire book in one sitting as they just grab your attention. Kathryn is a master story teller, and this book is one of her best.
This is an emotional read, and yes I cried. I loved the chemistry between Magnus and Delaina. The secondary characters, such as Sir Denys de Winter and Morgan de Lohr, add so much to the story.
I received an ARC of this book and chose to post this review.

This author has written so many books. Looking at the list is positively daunting and so I’m sticking to just de Wolfe Pack Generations.

This is the story of Magnus and Delaina and it’s one of my favourites so far.

Magnus de Wolfe is Captain of the Kings Guard. A Nobel knight from the legendary de Wolfe family. Delaina is one of the Jewels, the most beautiful and accomplished courtesans in the country.

He has a promising future and she’s ruined. How could it ever work?

I voluntarily read a review copy kindly provided by the publisher and NetGalley.

Another great read about the Wolfe clan. This one's a little different. Yes he finds love, but not with a lady per se, she's a kept woman so to speak, she's never loved one man, but now she does and the family is having a fit. Let's follow their journey to see how it unfolds. HEA.

💋💋

Action from the beginning, a brilliantly crafted and well executed story that is one of the best I’ve read from Kathryn.

I’m a big fan of this author and I think I’ve read all her books, this takes me back to some of her other books, Lord of Shadows being one.
I love the court setting, the protective way of the hero and the way the characters gel so well, the chemistry is really great between them.
You’ll kick yourself if you miss this one .

My attention was captured from the opening chapters of this well-written novel as Magnus de Wolfe comes to Delaina de Courant's rescue when her protector goes missing. Discovering that Lord Daventry has suffered an appalling death, Delaina realizes that she has to get away with all haste if she is to avoid a repeat of her past life. Magnus de Wolfe as head of the King's Guard offers to assist her but did not expect to fall in love with the beauty. This is an emotional and suspenseful drama as the star-crossed lovers are separated by force of circumstances, but through the intervention of good friends, are finally brought back together again. I received a copy of this fairly sad novel as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

This is an exciting book. I love the storyline and suspense. Loyalty, Confessions, Secrets:
This story you could feel the tension, the desire, and the anxiety coming off the pages.
There is so much going on in this story.
The story begins with a bit of history before we meet the courtesan Delaina also known as The Ruby. She is in attendance with Lord Daventry to honor the king.
A tragedy takes place and as she literally bumps into Magnus who offers her help.
From that point the story takes us into a thrilling direction of secrets, loyalties, honesty, desirous attraction, and many scenes that had me holding my breath or shedding tears. As always
A wonderful well written story that had me captivated from the beginning. I read the book in 2 days

Magnus de Wolfe is the commander of the King's knights. The honour of his family history is bred into ever fibre of his being.

Delaina de Courant is a valued courtesan, bartered by men of power for years. When her latest master dies she sees an opportunity for freedom.

This story is told as a memory and a lesson against judging people before you know them.

As is usual in the de Wolfe family our hero is big, brave and very loving. Nothing and no-one will stop him from what he knows is right.

Our heroine has only ever known the selfish and ruthless side of men. That makes it too difficult to trust one. Fear and her training is what is ruling her actions.

An action packed story that could easily start a war.

I loved it and want to know more about "The Jewels"

I loved it! The intrigue of the Royal Court comes to life in WolfeAx as Magnus de Wolfe finds himself coming to the rescue of a courtesan, Delaina they find themselves on a rollercoaster ride that brims with tension building twists and turns, trials and tribulations, danger and suspense that will keep you sitting on the edge of your seat. Kathryn Le Veque has given readers a book that is well-written, filled it with great cast of characters that come off the pages and pull you into this emotional ride that keeps you involved until the very end, passion and with great dialogue. With setting descriptions and action sequences that are wonderfully vivid that brings the story to life and as the uncertainties escalates the suspense builds and danger abound which brings this read together perfectly.

Powerful story of love conquering all!

First of all, this story is framed beautifully - the prologue and epilogue are exquisite bookends to this compelling story. The story itself is one of the best I've read in medieval romance, one of the best by this author.

Delaina is grossly misunderstood - presented as one of the most valuable, sought-after women in all the kingdom, underneath all the glamour lies a horribly abused victim of what we would rightly call sex trafficking today. Sadly, women of that time had so few rights and such little power that her experience is held against her as a character flaw, and it's only Magnus and the honorable men like him who can see the tragedy that has been her life for far too long.

Once she finally has the chance to escape her gilded cage, she doesn't know who to trust and it's all Magnus can do to show her that the men she's known before aren't the only kind of man there is. Still, needing to make her own decisions is the only thing she can think of, and there's more tragedy in store for them both before she can love herself enough to accept a second chance at a beautiful life.

It's heartwarming to read of true heroes who care for the women in their lives during a time when women were routinely at the mercy of mostly selfish men. It is a stark contrast to the freedoms most women enjoy today, yet it serves as a reminder of both how far we've come and how far we still have to go.

These unforgettable characters, this powerful love story, this study of the strength of the human spirit is a must-read for anyone who loves romances, especially historical romances. No one writes medieval love better than this author, and this book is a shining example of the depth of her talent. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
