About this listen

The most dangerous thing in battle turns out to be a beautiful lady.

Major Lord Felix Knight has always known he was destined for the army and is fiercely loyal to the Crown. Thriving on adventure and danger, there is no room in his life for the love and relationships which have cast their spells over his brothers. After healing from his time as a prisoner of war, he returns to the Peninsula to continue the fight against Napoleon. Despite Felix's vows to the contrary, a beautiful lady causes him to lower his guard and soon he finds himself torn between love for country and woman.

Lady Catalina Mendoza has followed the drum with her father since her mother's death. Men are drawn to her beauty and connections, but without exception, those gentlemen her father deems suitable bore and frustrate her. The only way she can tolerate the tedium is to glean information from her suitors to help her father. One night, she is caught at the game by a devilishly handsome Englishman - and everything changes.

Amidst assaults and danger, Felix and Catalina find themselves thrown together in a bid to discover a traitor before it is too late.

I love this series, meeting the new and continuing family members seeing how the relationships grow a lovely evening listen after a long day on a computer, what a joy to be read to...

Another episode in this lovely series

I keep coming back to this series and author almost purely because of Alex Wyndham's narration... but in fairness, this is a pretty solid series of books and Dark of Knight is no different. However, like all the other stories so far, it is a little bland. Felix and Catalina are pretty typical and neither are annoying, but neither are they standouts. There was a suitable amount of adventure and intrigue to keep me engaged while I cooked and cleaned and did work. Of course I'll return for the next installment... for Alex.

Finally, This is a squeaky clean story that borders on "wholesome" so for readers that are triggered by those sort of undertones, steer clear. For listeners wanting something simple and enjoyable (though the horrors of war are sort of explored here) and don't mind/gravitate towards clean than give this a go! You will probably like and you will probably *love* AW's voice.

Like the rest of the series, it was good

I start by saying that the actual series of books ( this is number 4) is absolutely delightful. However, maybe because the others were so good, this one seemed a bit bland. I am an avid listener so I can tell when a book is boring me because I switch on & off. I also couldn't wait for it to end even though it looks me twice as long as usual to listen. I wanted society & the ton but got dusty Spanish countryside instead. Even my favourite Wellington couldn't lull me out of my boredom. onwards & upwards to the next book & if course more of the lovely narrator Alex Wyndham.

Absolutely love the series so far but this one was a little disappointing.

This book in this series I found rather dull - it had its moments but overall it was rather dull - sorry to say

But the narrator did a great job

Wasn’t that brilliant
