To heal, she must learn to open her heart.

Sir Leksi is the prince's right hand man and Syrasan's fiercest knight. He is also the kingdom's most notorious womaniser.

Reviews for The King's Obsession

[claire · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Loved every second of it. Loved Leksi, he was so funny, he was a laugh a minute. I hope there will be more of him in the next book. This series is the first I've listened to by Tanya Bird and I will definitely finish it. But there's one thing that was a bit annoying, which was that there's no description of the hero and heroine. I've noticed that she doesn't describe her characters at all, which is a bit annoying as I like to imagine them while I'm l listening, so I had to make up my own images of them. And another was that the were no love scenes at all would have liked the to be at least one. A bit too clean for me, but the story was brilliant.
The narrator was good except that Leksi, the hero sounded a bit effeminate.
