The audio narrator was terrible throughout but exceeded himself even further with an unbelievably fake French accents, which sounded more like drunken Russian and indistinguishable English accents for the characters.

How did the narrator detract from the book? Improve the characters, give them more personality, make the story more engaging and the romance more convincing. What could Aleksandr Voinov and Kate Cotoner have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? The characters were sketchy at best, the story was almost non-existent and the romance was so meh, I can't say I thought I took it as a real romance. I have no idea, someone who reads a book for the sex. This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? One of the worst mm romances I've come across I would not have spent money specifically on this book. I think it did more to inspire ideas for myself overall. There's not much medieval M/M out there overall and it isn't bad, simply bland. If you get it in the Romance Package, I would say yes. Was The Lion of Kent worth the listening time? I have listened to probably 100 M/M audio novels and this is truly one of the only times I've felt read to rather than just experienced the story. It never felt like you were really hearing the story from William's perspective, just being read one. He reads the story, and does do other voices for the different characters, but he doesn't act, embellish, or create a sense of connection. The narrator was quite fast at the start, which I believe another reviewer mentioned as well. The whole thing was just bland.ĭid the narration match the pace of the story?

And with nothing to raise the stakes, little can be picked out as the least interesting. I suppose there is a bit of a twist but it wasn't actually exciting.

Nothing was actually interesting about it. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? This is part of what I mean in that the book is lacking for little real reason. There is one secret hand job and then William knows who it is. What initially interested me was the summary about the secret lover and that alone could have been stretched to great detail and delight. The concept could have been fleshed out into a full length easily, giving the story a sense that it's not suppose to be a novella but just became one because the author didn't want to put in the effort. Is there anything you would change about this book?
