Kathryn Le Veque's "The Mountain Dark: An Epic Tale of the Executioner Knights"

Kindle Customer GBL: Please get an editor or at least a proof reader. Your stories are wonderful, but reading them is a hazard with grammar. Often a simple rereading before publishing will suffice such as a mistake in spelling. Other times it is two prepositions when only one is needed.

treesaw: Kathryn Le Veque is a very talented historical romance author. The characters are interesting and the plots are exciting. The Executioner Knights is a good series.
The political ambitions are the driving force in this story on both sides but the characters are the glue which keeps the story together and moves it forward.

Patty: I am a big fan of KLV but I have enjoyed her earlier books better than her newer ones, it’s still a good read.

lisa: The opening chapter of this book is just hilarious as medieval housewives fight in the street to get hold of some dirty poems. When Kathryn le Veque decides to write humour, she is very good at it. There is nothing funnier than her deadpan tone as she recounts some truly crazy scenes.

The author of the rude words is the book’s heroine Cadelyn, a women who fights her fate. The man dragging her along to an arranged political marriage is Kress, a tough guy knight who does dirty work for the nation’s kingmakers. I normally dislike political thrillers but I ate up every plot turn in this truly entertaining novel.

If you are looking for a unique kind of hero, look elsewhere. Kress is a standard le Veque leading man with big muscles a square jaw and a sense of duty. But his clashes with spirited Cadelyn are full of growing emotional intensity. This is good reading if you want some history, a splash of romance and a few belly laughs.

Alison Pridie: The Mountain Dark

It seems that the second Executioner Knight is going to Wales with a specific purpose. William Marshall is determined and I mean determined to make a match. A match between a Welsh princess and one of king John's enemies in the hopes of strengthening the growing rebellion against John.

William Marshall appears to all to support the king, but behind closed doors that couldn't be farther from the truth. He is plotting against John as it seems John is doing more to hurt England and he must be removed.

William sends Kress to Wales to escort Cadelyn ferch Rhys from her home back to Chepstow Castle for the marriage. You see Cadelyn is one of the last full blooded Welsh princess and therefore everyone wants her. Then there comes a complication it seems that the princess has fallen in love and not with her intended. She has fallen in with Krees on the way to the castle and Krees even knowing it's wrong can't help, but deny his feelings for her either

So now they have finally reached Cheapstow and the princess absolutely refuses to marry the man that William has chosen for her then William finds out why. She's in love with Krees. The princess...
