About this listen

Book one in an amazing new Medieval Historical Romance series, The King's Cousins.

When three young children are separated when their father commits treason against the King of England, romance, excitement, and intrigue abound. Follow each of their stories in this exciting new series!

1338 A.D. - Exiled to a convent after her father’s execution for treason, Katelyn de Blays has fleeting memories of the man she adored and the outside world. When her brother’s search leads him to find Katelyn after many years, she is eager to leave with Landon and begin a new life. He brings her to the court of her cousin, Edward III, who betroths Katelyn to a powerful earl of Northumberland, using her as a political pawn to show his continued support of his northern noblemen.

When Sir Nicholas Mandeville returns from patrolling his family’s lands along the Scottish border, he discovers his father has died - and left a widow - whom his uncle wed Nicholas to by proxy during his absence. Angry at becoming the Earl of Northmere and having no choice regarding his wife, Nicholas vows to leave the widow untouched until he knows whether or not she carries his father’s child.

As time passes and Nicholas loses his heart to this brave, young woman, he is astonished to learn Katelyn wishes for their union to be annulled. Can he convince Kate to remain wed to him - or will Nicholas sacrifice his own happiness and let the enigmatic beauty go?

Each book in The King’s Cousins Trilogy is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.

Series order:

  • Book 1: The Pawn
  • Book 2: The Heir
  • Book 3: The Bastard

For those who savor romance on the high seas, you might enjoy the standalone prequel to The King’s Cousins Trilogy. God of The Seas is part of the Pirates of Britannia World and features Godwin de Blays and Melisent Winchester, great-grandparents to Quill, Landon, and Katelyn.

Most definitely a 5 Star book as well as a 5 Star narration! I initially bought this book and audiobook because I love every book I've read by Alexa Aston. Then needless to say the cover is beyond amazing, I love the red hair against that beautiful backdrop. As I listened to Brad Wills wonderful narration skills at work, I confess I chose to picture Kate as a redhead instead of the raven hair of the character. You will fall in love with Kate and Nicholas after hearing their romantic story! Alexa Aston never disappoints! 💗

This was a wonderful story full or love, heartache, and tough decisions. The characters were completely believable, and i really enjoyed how the narration added tone and voice to the choices they were forced to make. Brad Wills did an excellent job at portraying the different characters, and the story had a lovely flow.

This was a well titled story, as the main character is made to be a pawn in a number of ways throughout the book. But she survives it all with the grace of a lady and wins her knight while battles are made all around her.

The story was very high school and expected. I listen because I paid for it.

Narration was weird

I wanted to like this book, but the narration on this book was horrible. Some men just shouldn’t attempt what they think a woman’s voice sounds like!

Narrator ruined it
