Faerie

By: Delle Jacobs

Narrated by: Simon Vance

Leonie of Bosewood is a halfling, caught between the Faerie and human worlds yet belonging in neither. She does her best to hide her magical abilities, mindful that being different in medieval England is tantamount to death. But her untamed spirit and wild beauty are like a beacon to the one man whose attention could expose her....

Philippe le Peregrine has devoted his life to the crown, his strength and courage winning him the king’s gratitude. In return he asks but one indulgence: never to be forced to take a wife. Because Philippe hides his own secret, a curse condemning him to celibate solitude, he faces life without the one woman whose allure he cannot ignore. And yet as unseen forces gather, preparing for a mystical battle for dominion over the human world, Leonie and Philippe realize that only together are they strong enough to conquer the engulfing evil.

Wow. So much I didn't expect.

Wow. Just: wow. This book is a time piece set in the time of the Normans and the Saxons when England and Scotland were awash in blood and battle. Very well done in the research department. Being a fantasy, I really hadn't expected how well and truly we would be immersed in that time period and boy was it a ride! Mrs. Jacobs meshed her fantsy novel chock full of the old European myths with the morals and customs of the time that it was truly beautiful.

The story was told from multiple perspectives, though primarily from our main duo Phillipe (a knight of king Rufus)and Leone (an heiress and half Faerie). It's full of intrigue, political maneuverings, scheming parents and sovereigns, secrets, myth, and of course romance so you should get any need you have fulfilled. There are also some very steamy scenes as well as a few battles with some blood and death.

The narrator did a great job. There was no voice he did that grated or sounded awful and I enjoyed the whole ride.

Second time around

This is my second time listening to this book. And I would most likely listen to it again. Faerie does not disappoint .

surprisingly good

I loved the mythos behind this and the description of magic, the steamy sex wasnt a bad look either. I would recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy romance.

Unique!

If you want to escape the world and go where you have only gone in your dreams. Read this it's much better then any dream you could have.
