de Reyne Domination #6
One Wylde Knight
The bigger and badder they are, the harder they fall...
Dark, sultry, with a hint of fire in his blood from his Visigoth ancestors and a spark in his eye that betray his killer instincts, Thorington “Thor” de Reyne is the son of the Earl of Ashington and one of the greatest knights England has ever seen. His talent is unmatched, so much so that the king himself has demanded Thor’s service.
But he has to fight Thor’s own father to get him.
Much in demand, Thor has an ego that is fed by the warlords and kings who are fighting over him. But he has own plans and that includes getting rich, rich enough so that he won’t have to serve at the whim of a king or an earl.
And the king knows it.
In a strategic move, the king offers a marriage to Thor, to the richest heiress in England if not the entire world. Lady Caledonia de Wylde is a woman with more money than the king himself and quite possibly more land than any other landholder in England. Not only was she an heiress in her own right, but she married - and was widowed by – a man with roots that went back before the Norman conquest. She’s older than Thor, and has three daughters, but Thor doesn’t care. He’ll get the money he wants and the power he very much craves.
But what he didn’t expect was to fall in love with her.
And that’s where the tides change.
Lady Caledonia has an enemy, one so dark and devious that he’ll do anything to gain her money, her lands, and her very life if he can. Unbeknownst to Thor, he finds himself marrying into an explosive situation where he could very well be the spark that ignites the blaze. Now, he has a wife and an empire to protect, but it’s not Thor who ultimately does the protecting.
It’s Caledonia.
Hold on for a wylde and passionate ride through Medieval England, where ambition surrenders to lust and the most powerful thing in the world, as Thor and Caledonia discover, is love.
It can save, it can kill... or it can be the ultimate sacrifice.
Tropes: Older woman/younger man, friends to lovers, Alpha male/Alpha female, unexpected love

An enjoyable read from Kathryn.
Great characters and the story was very good, keeping me interested throughout.
Lots of action sequences, and some very tense moments.
I’m convinced all fans of Medieval Romance will enjoy this one.

Kathryn Le Veque leaves me in awe every time I read one of her books. "One Wylde Knight" is no exception, I absolutely loved Thor and Caledonia's story. At first I wasn't too sure about Caledonia's lifestyle but once you learn her backstory, you can understand. As for Thor, he's a hero any woman would love to have:)
As per usual when reading a Le Veque story, the tissues were close at hand!! My heart broke for Caledonia's three daughters and what they'd been through. With her and Thor's patience and love, all ends up right with their little worlds:)
Danger surrounds all of them, though, and quite a few times I held my breath. This is such a compelling story and one that keeps your interest from start to end. Definitely recommend this book!!

Loved It! What a Fantastic Story! One Wylde Knight will keep you spellbound as it takes you on a rollercoaster ride that weaves a story from beginning to end with threads of intrigue, greed, suspense and family unity. Kathryn Le Veque has a way of weaving a story that you can’t put it down and this book was no different. I absolutely loved Caledonia and Thor. She has written a story that's filled it with brilliantly crafted characters that will hold your attention as their individual personalities become more than just part of the tale they come off the pages and pull you in into the story, sizzling passion, heart ache, villainous villains, the book flowed well from one subject to another without being forced, and the plot brims with tension building twist and turns. With setting descriptions and action sequences that are wonderfully vivid that brings the story to life with plenty of suspense as the danger builds and uncertainties abound which brings this read together perfectly!

King Henry arranges a marriage between his Protector, Thor de Reyne and the heiress, Lady Caledonia de Wylde de Tosni. Destroyed by her first marriage, she doesn't want another marriage, she's happy to continue her visits to Gomorrah. Thor is compassionate, kind and sees a woman in pain. With patience, he starts to mend a broken lady and her children who don't know her. Unfortunately, her uncle sees this marriage thwarting his plans and plots for what he thinks belongs to him. Emotionally draining, but a wonderful love story. Mild descriptive sex.

In 1271, the great King Henry, while talking to Gage De Reyne, demands to see his second son, Thorington, or Thor. Yet Gage has plans for his son, which doesn’t include him being a companion to Henry. Henry, of course, also had much bigger plans than Gage could ever bequeath to his son. Henry’s plan is for Thor to marry not only a great heiress but a countess to boot, Lady Caledonia de Wylde de Tosni. Caledonia is also a widow with three daughters, but when Henry tells Thor that Caledonia is at Gomorrah, she is being held there against her will. Thor’s task is to rescue her from that hellhole, marry her and come back to him. When Thor goes to save Caledonia, he keeps his shock hidden. Luckily, Thor manages to get her out of there. Thor is instantly attracted to Caledonia, so he marries her, but what he finds between Caledonia’s Uncle and others who want Caledonia for their own devious means, Thor might just end up losing everything, including his life.
What an amazing medieval historical romance that is definitely well worth reading! There might be a lot jam-packed into the story, but it sure isn’t lacking! Even the places, no matter how brutish, grand or even astonishing, they may seem, come alive. I don’t know about you, but I would like to visit Gomorrah even though it is supposed to be a bad place, but hey, if well-to-do ladies are watching men dance, it sounds like a historical Chippendales and well worth watching! Also, true historical aficionados might balk at the idea of women watching naked men dance too. Ms. Le Veque also just knows how to write a story that puts everyone in the heart of the tale, making it very easy to visualize and well imagined without any problems at all! Her characters, whether they be major or minor, even come alive with some funny quirks, but are also very human too. Thor is really a great hero, funny, smart and finally helps Caledonia heal from the misconception that she isn’t a burden to anyone. The only thing is that Thor is supposed to be forty, but the book cover of Thor doesn’t seem to fit. Still, the story is well worth the read and I am eager for more!….Reviewed by Rosylnn Ernst

Favorite Quotes:
" They've kept your light dimmed, your beauty hidden behind those peasant clothes you wear, but that is going to stop now. You deserve to wear the finest clothing. You deserve to be respected, and I swear to you I will do just that. You needn't fear that people will ridicule you because that will not happen. "
" You are simply making your own mark, creating your own dynasty. Some say that the measure of a man is upon the field of battle, or in the political arena. But I've come to think that the true measure of a man is how much he is loved by his family and friends. You took a broken woman and her equally broken children and created something fine and whole. "
⭐⭐⭐⭐.5/6.
🌶🌶/5.
This was such a beautiful story. I loved the romance and the family Caledonia & Thor created together.
Thor has a wonderful family so I love seeing them be so accepting of Callie especially Thor's sister Nicola.
Thor was such a great man too. He may be a Knight for the King but he is very compassionate and respects women and treats them with care because that's what his parents taught him.
He was everything and more that Callie needed and I just love following their story and see their hea come to fruition.
Callie was a lost soul once her children were taken away by her then husband. She was going through the motions and just trying to forget the sorrow she lived every single day since that happened.
I loved her so much. She was distrustful at first but once she saw Thor was worth it, she went for it.
I loved seeing both Callie & Thor gain the trust of her children but especially Thor when it came to Jane. It was just beautiful seeing it unfold. They formed a big and beautiful family and I can't help but feel proud of them like Thor's father is.
I didn't care much for the "villain" pov. I could've done without it so I skimmed those parts and that's basically why it's not a full 5 star book for me. i truly loved the romance and everything else.

I love this author's characters and what I love the most is how much the author shows that people really haven't changed, only technology.
In this book we meet Caledonia a widow who has been banned from seeing her children by the charge appointed by their now dead father. King Henry sees Caledonia's value with all the land she possesses after her husband's death, but Caledonia has no interest in getting remarried. Her marriage was abusive when her husband wasn't calling her trash, he was ignoring her, and broke her heart by sending her children away. There seemed to be a deep hatred from Robert. Callie was only fifteen when her father shunted her off on this man, she knew nothing about life, and things just got worse under Robert. Every time she tries to see her children at Stafford Castle, she is chased off. So, she finds refuge in drink and drugs. She wouldn't let another man touch her. Why would she after her experience? But she sure went through the wine and mushrooms and whatever else came her way.
Gomorrah, a den of sin, is where Thor finds her. Caledonia flatly refuses another marriage, that is until she gets to know Thor and receives kindness for the first time in her life. Emboldened by that, after the marriage, they go to Stafford Castle where Caledonia demands her children and starts to get her life going to what SHE wants. It helps when you have the backing of a knight.
The neglect the children suffer is so sad. When Caledonia first lays eyes on her children, one is is preaching non stop in fear of going to hell if she stops while the youngest stuffs her mouth with dirt because she was conditioned to do that by her guardian. Because those children where told they were worthless. It's sad but I liked watching Caledonia getting to know her children and them working through all the crap their mean guardian, Madam Madonna put in their heads.
Yet another great book with vivid characters and redemption by love. It's a good one!

One Wylde Knight by Katherine Le Veque is vintage Le Veque with a maiden in trouble and a kind and generous knight ready to jump into the fray. In this case, the maiden is a widow, Lady Caledonia de Wylde de Tosni, who is supposedly being held against her will in a place called Gomorah, which didn’t sound promising. Thor de Reyne was the King’s Protector and bound to follow the man’s will. He had been torn between this father and his king for years now, each professing to want the best for him. After rescuing this woman, he was to marry her, per the king’s order. He didn’t want to be married, but again his duty to his king was paramount. With this marriage he would inherit two earldoms, which was not all that much of an incentive to Thor. When he and his men breached Gomorrah, he discovered the woman was not being held but was there voluntarily, not participating but watching. She had a story to tell. He was willing to listen.
Thor, as all of LeVeque’s heroes is handsome, strong, brace, and sensible. He could be kind and gentle when the time was right. What he discovered was abuse so profound he was nearly unable to process it. The lady was stronger than she looked, and responding to the first kindness she’d ever known started almost immediately. Callie had been abused by her father and then, her husband. She had had he daughters stolen from her, having been forbidden to see them. No wonder she wandered the taverns of London looking for more. Thor was his father’s son and had great respect for people until they proved they didn’t deserve it. It was a love story of major proportions. Thanks, Kathryn Le Veque for keeping these stories coming: excellent characters and creative storylines. Such a joy to read!

Incredibly Memorable Romance I Won't Forget:
I've been reading KLV books for over 30 years now and her stories are fabulous and never the same ole stuff.
The characters in this compelling story are bigger than life each in their own way which made them so captivating, tender, compassionate and just plain interesting with many shocking surprises along their journey.
Insight to visiting Gomorrah was eye opening for sure. I had to laugh a few times at some of the scenes presented there.
An unwanted marriage that takes Thor and Caledonia into discovering tenderness, hope, trust, that changes both of their lives forever.
The three children that were so abused tugged at my heart. The awesome brotherhood of the knights along with the extra characters had me so engrossed. The terrifying villains that brought terror to the story, but also gave a Yahoo! moment or two.
I hated to see the story end, but oh wow, what an ending this turns out to be. Absolutely heartwarming. Finding the love of their lives is one of KLV's specialties and she never disappoints the reader.

That was one Wylde ride!
Thor is everything a gal could want in a hero, and everything we've come to expect from this author's leading men. Such a good man! And Caledonia brings all the Wylde to his life, quite against his will at first, but fate has amazing things in store for these two!
Thor and Callie put a lot of heart into cementing their new family bonds and I loved every bit of it. These are characters that will stay with you for a long time. I really enjoyed the pacing of this story, the history we're shown, and the atypical pairing.
As with every KLV story, I was instantly captivated and invested in these realistic characters. The action is tense and compelling, the relationships are heartfelt and insightful, the villains are beyond nefarious, and the final HEA is hard-fought and triumphant.
I have loved each and every one of the De Reyne Domination books that I've read, and heartily recommend this as the newest addition to the series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Thor is thoroughly duped by the King in this fast-paced and exciting romance when he is promised honor and power through his marriage to Lady Caledonia de Wylde. Led on by the Kind's demand that the lady needed rescuing, Thor finds the very opposite is true. Nevertheless, he sees in Caledonia a woman who has been deeply hurt and rejected, and having come from a loving family, he does whatever is necessary to win the lady over and charm her into marriage. I was not too sure about Caledonia's character at first as she appears to be somewhat self-indulgent but Thor is everything one could hope for in a hero. He discovers that there is more at play than at first suspected but ultimately brings about the destruction of her enemies' plans and a joyous conclusion to the novel. I received a copy of this romance as a gift through Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley and this is my honest and voluntary review.

This is a medieval romance from my favourite author. I'm never disappointed with any of her books.
Our hero this time is from the de Reyne family. King Henry will do anything to keep the man under his control and not let him go back to his father. Luckily, he knows what every man really wants.
Our heroine has been treated badly or completely ignored for years. She doesn't see why she should obey anyone now, even the King.
This is an action-packed story from first to last page. There are lots of giggles and some emotional moments. Some very nasty people who have not been held to account for too long are the villains. Greed and selfishness are the reasons for the problems.
Just because our hero is a battle hardened warrior, that doesn't mean he hasn't got a soft heart.
I loved it.

This is an action-packed story from first to last page. There are lots of giggles and some emotional moments. Some very nasty people who have not been held to account for too long are the villains. Greed and selfishness are the reasons for the problems.
Just because our hero is a battle hardened warrior, that doesn't mean he hasn't got a soft heart.
I loved it.

A Medieval Romance That Kept Me Turning the Pages
Caledonia and Thor start out as enemies. The king manipulates them to suit his purposes. However, the two enemies won’t be that for long because love gets in the way.
Thor thinks he is about to wed a wild woman, but once he understands her secrets, he knows there is more to her than meets the eye. He cannot help but fall in love with her, and the lady falls in love with her knight, too. However, before the two can find happiness, they must overcome many challenges, one of which is a greedy and dangerous villain. Caledonia’s uncle wants her riches for his own, and he will stop at nothing to get them. Battles will be fought, and blood will be spilled. Can love win the day? I enjoyed this story and would recommend it to lovers of medieval romantic adventures.

When you read a Kathryn Le Veque story, the reader enters the medieval world of politics, castles, strong knights, intrique, and where marriages are often arranged for alliances and wealth instead of love by the order of the King or the girl's parents. Kathryn gave us passion, heartache, greed, nasty villains, selfishness, and even a chuckle or two.
I loved Caledonia and Thor from when they first met to the end of the book, what a journey they had!!!
Thor and Caledonia draw us into the story, and we stay with them throughout as they face challenge after challenge. Thor may be the King's Protector, and a powerful knight, but he also shows his soft heart, kindness, and patience to Calendonia.
What an amazing story!!!! Wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

Thor de Reyne and Caledonia De Wylde
Thorington de Reyne was the Kings Protector, a Blackchurch trained knight, the best trained knight at that time. Calidoria de Wylde was the premier widowed heiress in England at that time, more land, soldiers and money. King Henry wanted Calidoria for Thorington. Quite an adventure for these 2 people who did not want to be married, much less to each other, even if the King demanded it. I loved this story which had quite a few chases, an evil uncle and cousin, children who had been neglected, 3 disgruntled knights and servants. that the knights had neglected to pay. Another great story, hard to put down, by Kathryn LeVeque.

I loved the book. As usual the writer gave me a story that took me took me to a faraway land where the Knight saves the kingdom and the damsels who was not in distress. The story was beautiful told in so many ways. I laughed at moments when needed be, particularly when when Thor and his men tried Kidnapping Caledonia. The beautiful moments were between Caledonia and her daughters. I enjoyed the excitement of the action and the adventures between the clans as the hunted for the evil warriors who dare challenged Thor’s family. The book is very easy to read. It’s enjoyable. I definitely look forward to the next read.

Amazing read that won’t be forgotten. Thor and Caledonia were unusual characters that developed into a love story that will stay with you for some time. Caledonia was an interesting character who suffered much in her first marriage. Once King Henry forced their marriage the world opened up for both.
I liked Caledonia a great deal because she was a survivor. Thank you Katheryn for a most enjoyable read. How can one not adore the case Reyne family.

I just love Thor. He is such a good, GOOD man to Caledonia and her three girls. What a terrible life Callie and her girls have had. The fact that this was a marriage of convenience, arranged by the king, could have had any number of outcomes-and not all good. But the MMC, Thor has a heart of gold and Callie and the girls were given a chance to become the people they were meant to be and to simply SHINE. Beautiful romance.
Thank you to netgalley for the ARC. Opinions are my own.

A brilliant final book in the de Reyne series. Thor is a brilliant knight who is relied upon by the king. Henry decides to reward Thor for his services by gifting him Callie who is a rich heiress to at least two powerful titles. Neither of them are happy with the arrangement but come to an understanding. As they slowly grow closer to one another, there are enemy factions in play that threatens their burgeoning relationship. Loved it!

The romance never ends
Didn't think these two characters would get together from their first meeting, but sparks were flying and this is a KLV storyline! The drinking challenge had me lol, and then crying, beautiful romantic love scenes that melted my heart. Can't wait for my next pre-order, love this author, never disappoints.

You are remarkable in as much as you always weave your words into such wonderful tales that totally transport your readers to another time and place. You really are quite amazing.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a KLV book and thought it was “okay.” For the most part it was a good story. I wasn’t too happy with the ending in Callie’s bed chamber nor the conversation between Thor and Cristano in the village. That was frustrating. And I found 22 editing errors as well; for me it breaks the momentum of the story/dialogue.

This author does not disappoint, she's an excellent writer with understanding of the era and writes an excellent story. Thor and Callie's story is no different. Callie's interest in gaming halls, taverns and the like was an interesting twist. HEA.

Another great tale!the
Love these stories of knights and the times they lived in. Makes me smile to see the heroine who is such a rebel. Not sure that would or could have happened in reality, but it makes for a great read!
