Wow, just WOW.

War, I really like that name, who happens to be William's son from before his marriage to Jordan, meets and falls in love work Jemma's niece. This book was full of conflict and turmoil because War meets his father for the first time, but it doesn't go well because both are strong-willed and very used to being right. Kathryn had to walk a very tight rope here because William and Jordan are her most iconic couple that, you just don't mess with. But War had the right to confront the father who was never his father.

I really likes this book, I really recommend this book, and I will be reading this book again.

I just reviewed BattleWolfe by Kathryn Le Veque. #BattleWolfe #NetGalley

Lovely Medieval Romance

A Scottish woman saves Warwick’s life, but she is meant to kill him. What happens when they meet again at William de Wolfe’s home? It is a medieval romantic adventure with treachery and intrigue. Annaleigh has some treacherous cousins, and Warwick has some monstrous secrets. Put together, their story is sure to entertain those who like medieval romance. There are some truly touching moments in this book. I especially enjoyed the one between Jordan and William when they talked about his newfound son. William is such a fighter, but he turns into a lamb when it comes to Jordan. It was lovely to read about the original de Wolfe pack once more. You might want that box of tissues handy, too. There will be some emotional moments.

Just what I needed to bring back the wonderful memories of my favorite knights and their fantastic families. I admit that I love everything about the deWolfes, Hage and Paris families and their stories you bring to life on your written page. Battle Wolfe gives one thought to how one is never sure of what life may bring to you during your lifetime. Thanks for the memories and the new stories that you brought us, transporting us to another time. You are unquestionably our Queen.

Battlewolfe by Kathryn Le Veque is the newest edition in the saga of the de Wolfe family. This is one of the best in a while and it too good for me to give anything away. Of course, it is a love story, but it is so much more. The characters are all present: William, Jordon, Keiran and Jenna. But there are new ones: Annaleigh Scott, kin to Jordan and Jemma; and Warwick Herringthorpe “War” to those who know him. They meet on the battlefield and then months later at Castle Questing. Annaleigh is there at the request of her father, Ian, Laird to the Scott Clan, who is beseeched by traitors seeking to undermine the laird and trying to use Annaleigh to do it. There are battles. There are deaths. All the things Le Veque does best. And there is War . . . the finest warrior in the land.

Annaleigh is a sunny girl, nice to everyone. She is beautiful as well. Everywhere she goes, men look at her, but she is not interested. Even in the several that pursue her openly. Until War. But, she is not a high-born English lady. She has no chance. War wants to marry her. He had never wanted to marry before. What has happened to him? Will William, in her father’s stead, approve of his quest. Probably not after everything that has passed between them. It is a conundrum. What is to happen. Le Veque, you have done it again! I loved this story. It is the best one in a while.
Thank you!

Wounded in battle. This book from the beginning had me smiling. Warwick Herringthorpe was saved after a battle by a Scottish woman who shouldn't have done it. If her clan found out she would be in danger. Katheryn le Veque is an amazing writer that always draws you in.

Sometimes I feel like I keep repeating myself on reviews of the amazing tales of Kathryn Le Veque!!
Well, they all will pull you into the world of her wonderful imagination and back in time.

There is nothing better than the De Wolfe family and their friends and relatives. In this one, Warwick, War (don't you love their nicknames?) is a battle against some Scots, by a Scottish lass, the future is set in place.

Annaleigh does not think to ever see him again, but fate brings them together in an unexpected twist. Will these two find love and have a happy ever after?

Never dull, a lot of the previous characters show up to entertain.

I love Kathryn’s books their always filled with drama, action and true heroes we love both past and present. Warwick aka War Herringthorpe’s world is shattered when his mother dies and its revealed who his father really is, it’s not who he always believed was his father as secrets and lies are unraveled. I love a story when the heroine saves the warriors life and fall in love between all the turmoil, lies and deception as War tries to come to grip of who his father is and the woman who’s captured his heart as war wages all around them. I voluntarily read and reviewed this excellent story.

Discovering the truth about his birth, War Herringthorpe is confused and begins to doubt everything he has ever known. However, seeing the beautiful woman who saved his life on the battlefield makes him restrain himself from blurting out what he knows, especially when he discovers that Annaleigh Scott is living in the stronghold of William de Wolfe. It's love at first sight, but before War can reveal himself to William de Wolfe, there are a number of crises that have to be dealt with first. This romance draws one in from the opening pages and the secrets carried by War only add to the suspense. The attraction between War and Annaleigh is palpable, but when it would seem that her clan members are intent on stealing her from War, he takes the only way open to him. Although this novel is part of a series it is a standalone and comes to a happy conclusion. I received a copy of this novel through Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Le Veque never disappoints with a gut clinching medieval romance. You never know exactly where the hero is going. You can hardly wait to find out. There is always a beautiful strong willed woman influencing their path to a fulfilling ending. Warrick Herringthorpe is a fierce warrior In a battle between the English and the Scots on the Scottish border, War becomes gravelly injured. Annaleigh, is his Scottish angel who comes to his rescue and saves his life at the risk of her own. Never did they think they would see each other again. Fate had other plans when they meet at William de Wolfe's Castle Questing. War is in turmoil over the death of his father and the secret his mother never revealed, but his love for Annaleigh will be his salvation. Very mild heat level.

It was such a treat to go back to visit the deWolfe family and see William, Kieran, Paris, Jordan, and Jemma together again in an epic story about a son William did not know about.
This is Warwick/War and Annaleigh's love story which is deeply emotional and so well written.
This is such an amazing story, thank you Kathryn! As always, once I start one of Kathryn's books I read it all the way through without stopping.

💋💋

An action packed read that will not let you rest until the books done.
Kathryn has written another blinder of a Medieval Romance, it has so many repercussions for the deWolfe family, all at the feet of two men William and his unknown son Warwick/War.
It’s full of angst, aggression and emotional.
A wonderful read from the outset and one that changes the whole look of the family tree.
Hence it’s definitely one that you don’t want to miss.
Excellent book!

Warwick Herringthorpe was saved after a battle by a Scottish woman who shouldn't have done it. If her clan found out she would be in danger.
Months later after another battle, War came home to devastating news that only got worse. Our hero's world is shattered by the news his father is not who he always believed.
Annaleigh believes herself to be the cause of many deaths. Her father has sent her to family on the English side of the border to protect her. The last person she expects to see ride into her Uncle's stronghold is the injured warrior she helped.
This is another wonderful addition to the De Wolfe Pack books. As usual our author wrings every drop of emotion from us while we learn about her characters. Families are complicated and this one just got more so. We meet up with lots of old friends and remember why we love them all so much. The battles, the humour, the love and the ever changing stories keep me buying every book this author writes without bothering to read the blurb. I know I'm going to love them all.
Great fun.
I loved it.

Some books in a series can be read as standalone, the sign of a great author. This is not one of those books. I've never read Le Veque before and I can't even say I did after this one- because this was a solid DNF for me. The writing style was super long sentence structure with name after name after name of characters I didn't know and hadn't been introduced yet. I'm not a huge fan of politics heavy romance so this wasn't checking any boxes for me. I wanted to give this one a try to try a new author and the battle scarred H with smart h trope is one of my favorites- but this was a disappointment at 30% so I moved on. I imagine if you are a fan of this series already this would be like returning to old friends, but I couldn't take the half-a-page-long sentences any longer.

This was a very well-written, entertaining medieval romance. It was very vivid, held my interest and I didn't want to put it down. I enjoyed this medieval romance and this author is a must-read for me.

The opening of this book brought a smile, another couple to meet over the aftermath of a skirmish between the English and Scottish.
Annaleigh is appalled by the destruction and death due to an unfortunate incident, but, she will not allow the English Knight to die. As they discuss his injuries and her ability to heal, something sparks between the two.
When Annaleigh is banished to Castle Questing, to spend time with her cousin Jordan and her family, she once again meets the knight in the glade. In between his interesting and noted features and her task of attempting to coral the Lady Penelope, the two began to fall in love.
While War is there on the invitation of William, he also has another mission. This one has the ability to destroy people and perhaps a family. But, Annaleigh has more enemies than The Wolfe and no one realizes her life is in danger.
This is such a great book to add to this series. Revisiting William and Jordan was fun. There are a few moments that you may need tissue, grab the box, the book and a quiet place to read.

A story about love and joy, war and devastating loss, the battles to attain peace and treachery to create chaos, as well as family secrets that upend one’s sense of self. Excellent book that holds one’s rapt attention all throughout.

I received an ARC of this book and leaving my review voluntarily.

Stunning conflict, deeply romantic story!

Warwick is a perfect example of the kind of hero that makes reading a Kathryn Le Veque book so very satisfying. A man of honor and one of the fiercest knights ever unleashed, War is everything a woman wants. He's appointed commander of a garrison at the border, and has no idea how that appointment is going to challenge everything he's ever thought about himself.

Annaleigh, daughter of her clan laird, is a kind hearted, intelligent young woman who is being used as a pawn by unknown villains. When she finds a mortally wounded War after a battle she feels responsible for, she stitches him up, though she still doesn't expect him to live. Nor did she expect him to waltz into the keep where she's staying eight months later, healthy and no longer her enemy.

This set up was brilliantly executed, pitting the two on opposite sides at first, then with shifting allegiances they find they just might have a chance to get to know each other. But there are secrets - both in her clan and in his family history - that make it almost impossible for them to have a future together.

This author continually astounds me with her creative storylines and compelling characters. It's easy to root for War and Annaleigh, despite the odds against them, because the chemistry between them is just so beautifully portrayed. You can feel them falling more in love each time they meet. The settings and historical detail are unparalleled, so be warned that it might be difficult to mentally come back to the present time after you finish this book.

The main secret was revealed in a way I could not see coming, making much more of an impact in an area that I hadn't even considered. The eventual resolution to the conflict with the villains was in itself a powerful statement that resolved so much more than just the threat against Annaleigh.

There's no shortage of heroic action, heartwarming family moments, and swoon-worthy romantic encounters in this book, and I absolutely loved every bit of it. Ms. Le Veque is still the undisputed Queen of Medieval Romance. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Battles, Secrets, Treasure:
A dramatic prologue grabbed my attention right away and didn't let me go...
Tis where we meet Analeigh and discover her sweet nature while in the middle of danger and get a glimpse of an English knight named War.
This author has an incredible way of writing that just sucks you right into this
very emotional powerhouse of a story.
There are many shocking life changing situations for this intriguing cast of characters along with a developing heartfelt romance between War and Analeigh.
Lots of excitement, humor, betrayals, secrets, and a few gut-wrenching moments.
I don't ever remember reading a book written by this author that I did not shed a few tears while reading her stories.
This is a very emotional well written wonderful story that I really could not stop reading.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy.
All thought and opinions are my own.
It's always a treat to read about the DeWolfe family.

Kathryn le Veque has outdone herself again. I love reading about the De Wolfe's, even if he is a bastard son. I loved War's character, so much like William's. Of course you have annaleigh who saved his life. This was an excellent love story. Plenty of action, surprises, danger and true love. HEA.
