Book review: The Lion and the Crow by Elle Keaton

Buy link:  Amazon

In medieval England, duty is everything, personal honor is more valued than life itself, and homosexuality is not tolerated by the church or society.

Sir Christian Brandon was raised in a household where he was hated for his unusual beauty and for his parentage. Being smaller than his six brutish half-brothers, he learned to survive by using his wits and his gift for strategy, earning him the nickname the Crow.

Sir William Corbett, a large and fierce warrior known as the Lion, has pushed his unnatural desires down all his life. He’s determined to live up to his own ideal of a gallant knight. When he takes up a quest to rescue his sister from her abusive lord of a husband, he’s forced to enlist the help of Sir Christian. It’s a partnership that will test every strand of his moral fiber, and, eventually, his understanding of the meaning of duty, honor, and love.

Thanks for stopping by, I’m Elle Keaton and I hail from the northwest corner of the US where we are known for rain, rain and more rain. I write the Accidental Roots series, set here in the Pacific Northwest featuring hot mm romance and the guarantee of a happy ending for my men. They start out broken, and maybe they end up that way too, but they always find the other half of their hearts.

I started writing way back when but only began publishing about two and a half years ago and now have nine books out. Each features a couple in my little universe, sometimes there is added mystery and suspense.

Thank you for supporting this Indie Author,

The main thing that brought this book to my attention was that it took place in Medieval England, my favorite period in history.

I love the historical accuracy. It is obvious Ms Keaton put in a lot of research into it.

Fair warning:  The Lion and The Crow is so amazingly written that I couldn't help but get emotionally involved with the characters. I loved their interactions.

There were a couple of times when I was on the edge of my seat thinking, How in the hell are they going to get out of this one? They did, though. In one instance their solution was quite ingenious.

The ending definitely pulled at my heartstrings. When I finished reading the book my only reaction was to slump back in my chair and take a deep breath. Wow. Just. Wow. I felt like it was the end of a long, exciting journey that ended abruptly.

I would give The Lion and the Crow 1,000 stars if I could, but I have to settle for 5.

If I could afford it, I'd make sure every eReader would have a copy on it.

Well done, Ms. Keaton. Extremely well done.
