Squire William Raven has only one goal: to finally receive his spurs and become a knight. When his lord, Sir Robert de Cantilou, returns from a five-year crusade in the Holy Land, William wants nothing more than to impress him.
After Sir Robert's return, noble guests arrive from France, bringing intrigue to the castle. William is oblivious to the politics, as he's distracted by nightly visits from a faceless lover, a man who pleasures him in the dark and then leaves, a man he soon discovers is none other than his master, Sir Robert.
But William can't ignore the scheming around him when he overhears a plot to murder Robert. He becomes intent on saving his lord and lover from those who would see him killed....

Is there anything you would change about this book?
Length, detail, background. It's short. 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.What initially interested me was the summary about the secret lover and that alone could have been stretched to great detail and delight. There is one secret hand job and then William knows who it is. This is part of what I mean in that the book is lacking for little real reason.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Nothing was actually interesting about it. I suppose there is a bit of a twist but it wasn't actually exciting. And with nothing to raise the stakes, little can be picked out as the least interesting. The whole thing was just bland.Did the narration match the pace of the story?
In that it was also bland, yes. The narrator was quite fast at the start, which I believe another reviewer mentioned as well. I would also classify him as a reader. 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. It never felt like you were really hearing the story from William's perspective, just being read one. 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.Was The Lion of Kent worth the listening time?
If you get it in the Romance Package, I would say yes. There's not much medieval M/M out there overall and it isn't bad, simply bland. I think it did more to inspire ideas for myself overall. I would not have spent money specifically on this book.Your Average Male Lion: Pretty, but Lazy

The story was captivating and ended all too soon.Which scene was your favorite?
I really enjoyed the development of the main character. The character had long term goals beyond the relationship.Great change of pace

While short, the enigmatic characters drew me in—as they tend to do when I’m dropped in the middle of the action and not lectured at by one character or another who serves as the author’s soapbox or devil’s advocate.
Mystery man comes and jacks off our squire in the middle of the great hall after a party. Our Squire is a happy man with no thoughts other than to win his spurs and serve his master. Our Lord and Master is a bit more mysterious, having recently returned from a five year crusade in the Holy Land, where he apparently learned some techniques which served to invoke holy names.
So, this was fun. We had lust, a hot head Squire, some untrustworthy French nobles, some untrustworthy Englishmen, a sot of a brother spouting off bible verses, and an exciting boar hunt.
Fantastic!!!

Would you try another book from Aleksandr Voinov and Kate Cotoner and/or Philip Rose?
I would not try another book with Philip Rose as narrator. His performance ruined the book for me.If you’ve listened to books by Aleksandr Voinov and Kate Cotoner before, how does this one compare?
I have not listen to books by Voinov or Cotoner before.Would you be willing to try another one of Philip Rose’s performances?
No.Was The Lion of Kent worth the listening time?
Marginally.Great premise, but disappointing.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Lion of Kent to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version. I don't think that can be said, because if an audio book is good it had to be because the narrator AND the story is good.What other book might you compare The Lion of Kent to and why?
Hard to compare, i don't read too much historical books and the ones i had, this was very different from them. I can't think of any book i can compare it to.Have you listened to any of Sean Crisden’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, This is the first book i listen to from this narrator.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I guess the moment when an important part of the plot was settle was the best, but i can't say more without spoilersAny additional comments?
Yes, it was a nice book. I liked the historical elements of it. It might not be the most romantic book i've read but it was very nice. I liked the narrator too, but at times it was hard to understand the change of characters, but after a few minutes of listening, i was more used to the change of voices and it was better.Very well made and entertaining story

I enjoyed myself as much as I could, though, so it will receive a B- for storyline and a B+ for narration. Sean Crisden, as far as I could tell from the point of view of an American, did a decent job with the British and French accents.
Enjoyable, but HEAVY on the "love" scenes
