Jack O' Lion

A Lion's Pride, Book 15

By: Eve Langlais

Narrated by: Marie Smith

A cranky lion gets a second chance at love.

Trick or rawr?

A young, drunken Jack plays a prank on the town’s witch, only to get caught. One curse later, and he’s stuck in the house he tricked, literally, unable to leave.

Woe is the lion.

Decades later, he’s still a prisoner, and a cranky one. His attitude isn’t improved when a freak accident forces him to rely on a nurse while he heals.

Harper doesn’t believe in magic, so when she’s asked to help out a recluse, she’s determined to get to the root of his agoraphobia. Only it turns out he’s not lying. Jack really is under a spell, and this curious cat can’t help but poke at it.

Is love the trick to break the curse?

Loved it.

It was as usual, entertaining and enjoyable story. I very much look forward to the next installment in this series.

A very good magical love story

A cursed man/lion who can only become a man in his home or yard. A talented nurse/lioness who came to treat him after he broke his arm and leg in a fall off of the roof but is now determined to break the curse. What happens is very magical and sweet.

Sweet but sloppy storyline

The premise of the story relies on the stupidity and stubbornness of the characters. There was no actual need for the curse to last twenty years. Harper’s estrangement with her dad was a random event used purely to inject a danger element. It simply wasn’t an organic storyline for me; instead, it was a jumble of cute story concepts hurriedly written.
