The Lion's Daughter

By: Loretta Chase

Narrated by: Kate Reading

Gorgeous, stubborn Esme Brentmor, daughter of a disgraced lord, is used to a wild, dangerous life among the tribes of Albania, to whom her father is the legendary, controversial Red Lion whose death she's courageously vowed to avenge - even if it leads to her own. Instead, her quest finds her rescued by the most unlikely (and very reluctant) hero! Lazy and spoiled, Lord Varian St. George has gambled away his heritage and lives on his considerable looks, charm and wits. All he wants is the good life, and instead, he finds himself in rough country, with a tempestuous whirlwind of a female who's as savage as he's civilized. How did this termagant become his responsibility? And how can he escape?! Yet as he and Esme plunge headlong into even more peril, he may surprise even his own jaded self and become the man that Esme (foolishly) believes he is!

Not my favorite

I love Loretta Chase and I Love Kate Reading, however, this story just isn't my favorite. Kate Reading does her normal phenomenal job narrating but she doesn't have much to work with. The characters are OK but I just could not get into the story. It was convoluted and confused. More an adventure story.

Least fav LC :(

The story dragged on and MFC annoyed me, it was hard for me to get through which was disappointing because I love LC books

Not a repeat listen for me

I've tried several times to get into this book and finally got through it. But....I either slept through or skipped some chapters. While I appreciate the creativity of the story, it was confusing for me. There were side-line stories that just never got pulled together to create one cohesive story. The characters were all too complex and in some cases down right annoying. The heroine was one of those annoying ones. Sooo....I won't be listening to this one again.

Brilliant writing; brilliant narration.

Loretta Chase is a wizard with words and dialogue. Kate Reading knows how to deliver the words and dialogue. A terrific book and a great delivery.

One of the best narrators ever....

The overall story was awesome and I enjoyed the listen...but I'm not super crazy about the Albanian story line....just my preference.
