When We Were Kings The Wolf of Oberhame Book 1 eBook Auryn Hadley

************SPOILERS***********
It's always refreshing to read a book with a strong, resilient and intelligent female lead. It's especially enjoyable when her character is likable. Leyli, kidnapped princess turned gladiator, fight for her life, honor and revenge. What's not to love!!!

I read it in one sitting it was very action packed. Although her actions are justified and it's a game of survival she does not lose her humanity nor does she lose her sanity. Partly, due to her partner and love, Tristan, the Lion. He trains her and they grow to become friends and then so much more. Throughout the book, he is used as a tool and a play thing, where his master sells he periodically to women for the night. We get to see vulnerability and how he copes with his body not belonging to his own. It's very real and very sad. He does it so that Leyli doesn't have to. Throughout the book we see them evolve into this team or perhaps even other halves. But because they are gladiators and could die at any moment they agree to just a friendship. Of course their in love, madly in love but they can't tell each other.

So how can you change a society that relies on gladiators or use death as sport and entertainment for the masses? It's a tough one. Take it away and risk an uprising from the masses. Leyli is thrown into this world and realizes that it does not work. Imagine today being bogged down by debt instead of collection agents calling you instead you are thrown into a ring and have to fight for your life, to the death. This sounds preposterous and an utter waste of life. But this is the life our princess had to endure for almost 6 months. So it seemed annoying when sometimes Leyli would criticize herself for doing what she did to survive and not being good enough for a good marriage or for court. This also emphasized that women in this society is reduced to demure breeders.

The big reveal and the last fight was good to read.The wolf got her lion back but it seemed bittersweet. Again their in the same position, because of their title her as the heir, him Secor (protector to the heir) they still can not be together. It's a bit disappointing but not terribly surprising. Having a loophole or some weird scenario to wrap it up would feel, would cheapen their struggle.

So hopefully in the next, we see them finally being together and kicking some much needed butt along the way!

When We Were Kings The Wolf of Oberhame Book 1 eBook Auryn Hadley Reviews

I just finished another pass trough this novel and it still holds up as one of my favorite fantasy/historical romances. Leyli is a bomb ass heroine who gets to fight and go through a great metamorphosis in her own right, while building a strong foundation for legendary love with Tristan, the Lion. It has such well placed tension that reader never feels totally safe that a character will come out of each scene unscarred. And that makes for great literature. Slow burn/zero erotica here, but heavy in high romance/noble/melt your heart love. And there is some erotica further into the series if you wait around for it ;)
Auryn Hadley is a talented lady! Her books are my happy place
I absolutely love Rise of the Iliri so I decided to try this trilogy. was engrossed in every page and couldn't turn them fast enough from the first time a princess (in her pink nightgown) stepped onto the sands and it was kill or kill and then while she learned to be a Badass Gladiator. She owes her life and her knowledge to the Lion who makes her (with a lot of hard work on her part) The Wolf of Oberhame. I am so glad that I have all three books so other than stopping to write the review I can get right into the next book. Yay! Well enough of this, I'm onto the next one.! Enjoy! 💚💜💛💙
I read the whole series before I reviewed this book and I must say that Ms. Hadley has done a great job of creating a MC who is strong, smart and does not give up, ever. This book is not about sex though there is some but it is more about meeting challenges, solving problems and creating a family that is not traditional and getting it all to work. There are battles to be won both physical and mental. It is not often I find a series that draws me in and keeps me there but this is one. Read this book for how one woman becomes a gladiator and changes the world around her. Read the whole 3 book series to see how she makes what is often unacceptable acceptable. If you are unwilling to endure M/M situations then you may want to skip this series though it is important to the series. Give it a go.
I had no expectations when I bought this and I was honestly a bit hesitant because there were only a few reviews and the author was someone I have yet to encounter, but my worries had been for naught. Don't ever judge a book by its cover, there are some seriously amazing stories out there with less than stellar graphic covers (Exhibit A). Overall, I was extremely impressed by Ms. Hadley's ability to weave such a thrilling story line. From the first pages I was on the edge of my seats rooting for Leyli and secretly shipping her relationship with the Lion. What I enjoyed the most was the character development and the strength of the heroine. For all you potential readers, this is not one of those fast-paced insta-loves. Both parties are equally capable of kicking-butt in their fight for survival and their relationship is based on respect and trust instead of lust. I find this more satisfying and it adds depth to the characters. Well done Ms. Hadley!
Leyli is a princess thrown to the wolves. Too bad for them she's the leader of the pack.

When Princess Leyli's cousin kills the Heir and illegally sells her to the gladiator pits, her only options are kill or be killed. Luckily, she has the best gladiator the sands have to offer on her side. If she can manage to stay alive, she may be able to earn her freedom and save her kingdom.

This book will not get the recognition it deserves. Between the cover and the description you will under estimate this story and that's a crying shame. Take a chance on it. The story is engaging. The characters are interesting. There's blood and gore. There is some good ground work for political intrigue and by grace the romance doesn't over saturate the plot. In fact, it teases the reader.

Surprise new series to watch.
