A King’s Tale is off to a fascinating start with Saving the King! The characters are strong, captivating and easily draw readers along on their thrilling adventure. Bryan and Katrina’s romance is full of excitement and emotional turmoil while they strive to protect each other and the prince. The story is fast paced and full of exciting and adrenaline pumping thrills as Morgana sets her henchmen after the prince and there is surprising twists.
I was completely caught up in Leilani Love’s new book, she brought it to vivid life and painted vibrant images that made it easy for me to picture each and every scene and I love the way she is bring one my favorite character’s (King Arthur) world to life but there is definitely a cliffhanger and it’s way too short so be prepared to have to anxiously await the next book to find out what happens but so far this A King’s Tale is an adventure worth joining.
Saving the King by Leilani Love is book One in the ‘A King’s Tale’ series. This is the story of Katrina and Bryan.
Katrina is friends with the Queen who is expecting a child. When Morgana goes to threaten the child that they will never hold their child but once. So when the Queen has the baby she turns to Katrina to take the baby to Merlin for him to protect the future King/Baby. But while traveling to do so she is set up and when she was almost set to be killed Bryan comes to save her and the baby.
This was a novella but it read like a full length book… I couldn’t put it down! I defiantly want to read more books in this series…can’t wait!!
Very much enjoyed reading this book about baby Arthur, with Katrina and the fate of Camelot with her to save baby Arthur from the demon army of Morgana, we also have Bryan and his wolves come to her rescue, a great read for everyone who likes reading about King Arthur and not forgetting about Merlin.

Escaping from Morgana’s men, Bryan and his wolves saves her and the baby from the attack, the snow and cold.

A new to me author and loved this story! Well written characters and great story line a must check out!
This story was unexpected for me. I saw the cover, thought it and the title looked interesting, and decided to give it a try. I am glad that I did. Once I started reading, I realized that the book was an ‘origin’ story for Author of Camelot. The book unfolds a possible sequence of events for Arthur as a baby for a timeless and classic story.
Excellent Alternate Version of the Start of King Arthur’s Life
I’ll admit that I am a sucker for any story that involves Arthurian legend. This book is unusual because it looks at the first few tumultuous weeks of Arthur’s life. Surprisingly, the author actually has made the infant an interesting character with a definite personality. One of the queen’s ladies has been charged by both the king and queen to flee and keep Arthur safe. She has been a friend of the queen since they were girls, and she takes this duty very seriously. She and Arthur are imperiled very quickly, but they are saved by a man and his pack of wolves. The author also managed to make the wolves have distinct characters, or at least two of them, Snow and Minx, who are also protective of the heroine and the baby. An attraction develops between the Queen’s lady and this woodsman, and I found that to add a lovely element. The danger isn’t over, though, and the story was surprisingly gripping and kept me turning the pages. This book leads into the next of the series, and I’m very much looking forward to reading it. If you enjoy Arthurian legend, this different spin on it may surprise and intrigue you as much as it did me.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

ONE FABULOUS ADVENTURE!!!
Stupendous! Leilani has outdone herself with this impressive delight, spinning this intoxicating storyline and gripping plot, ramping up the excitement and adrenaline with such intensity and precision, wrapping this baby up sleek, shiny and tight. Rolling with the drama, intrigue, determination, turmoil, danger, mounting suspense and nailbiting situations along with a boatload of secrets while dodging sinister deeds, you have one block busting masterpiece. Cognizant of the instant realization and charged atmosphere, along with a bevy of unbelievable twists and shocking turns, putting our characters through their paces, ratcheting up the heat and magic, drawing them closer than they could have ever envisioned. The personalities are well matched and blended with just enough flaws for diversity. The characters and scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and colorful descriptions so rich and lively, they blend and flow magnificently. Remarkable job Leilani, thanks for sharing this little jewel with us.
