PALADIN'S FAITH The Saint of Steel, Book 4

Joel Richards narrates the fourth Saint of Steel romance-tinged fantasy. When Marguerite Florian runs afoul of a previous employer, she hires a paladin named Shane to protect her. Unfortunately, Shane and Marguerite must battle their attraction for each other, as well as enemies who are out to kill them. Richards's wry and at times dry tone adroitly highlights the humorous banter between characters, making the jokes and innuendos all the funnier. His portrayal of a demon who has possessed a human host is chilling, showing how evil can lurk in unexpected places. Richards's skillful performance captures the trepidation Marguerite and Shane feel as they sense a possible relationship ahead. Both have lived hard lives, are approaching middle age, and have never expected to find love. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2024]
