AD 1320 - Madelayne Gray d'Ebreux is the queen of all that is lost. Her child, her husband...everything. Or, so she thinks. The same battle that killed her husband resulted in the serious injury of her husband's commander, Sir Kaspian St. Hever. As Kaspian lays badly wounded, Madelayne is asked to tend to the man in a most unconventional and intimate way. Instead of using her milk to nurse her child, who was born dead, she nurses a man who is forbidden solid foods because of a belly wound. And so, an unusual and sometimes erotic relationship develops between Madelayne and her patient.

Kaspian is tended by a woman who offers him her breasts as way of sustaining his life. At first, he looks at the situation as a necessity, but he soon comes to crave it. He struggles to keep his feelings from the widowed woman, but it becomes increasingly difficult. For a man who has known little compassion or kindness in his life, Madelayne comes to represent everything he has been missing. She soon becomes to represent everything he wants, and he wants her.

Join Madelayne and Kaspian on their journey through life, loss, lust, and passion in this adventure-packed and unconventional medieval romance. Can Madelayne finally change her stars with Kaspian's help?

I really enjoyed this story and wasn't the least bit put off by the breastfeeding aspect of it. In the beginning, it was a means to help a man survive, afterwards it was something sensual between the couple that was written tastefully and I don't know why so many people were offended by it. I don't think too much emphasis should be paid to that aspect of the story as it played only a small part in it. The storyline very much concentrated on the battles between the English and the Welsh, and treachery from within their own ranks.

The narration, for the most part, was very good, I especially liked the voices Brad did for the hero and heroine of the story. He goes from a fabulously deep voice to a perfect higher-pitched woman's voice beautifully and believably. BUT oh my goodness, his Welsh accent is absolutely horrendous, it was more like a cross between Irish and Scottish! His narration of the physic was awful and really detracted from what should have been some highly emotional scenes. Half the time I couldn't understand him, and when I could the screeching was just abominable. Then there was the washerwoman, she sounded like a mad witch, but it was so awful I had to laugh. I have listened to many books narrated by Brad and I have to admit that this is the first one that I have ever been able to say anything negative about. I really believe that I would have enjoyed this story much more if I had read it rather than listened to it.

Unique Story.

An intriguingly different story and enjoyable. Interesting characters too. The breastfeeding mention in the description seems to put people off before even listening to or reading this book - but don’t let it do that because it’s part of the knights survival for a while and there is much more going on in the story.
Narrator is okay although for me this isn’t one of his best performances - but narrators are different for all of us I know.

Interesting & different story
