About this listen

Once upon a time, in an alleyway in the slums of the City of Lockes, a young and somewhat lonely boy named Sam Haversford turns a group of teenage douchebags into stone completely by accident.

Of course, this catches the attention of a higher power, and Sam's pulled from the only world he knows to become an apprentice to the king's wizard, Morgan of Shadows.

When Sam's 14, he enters the Dark Woods and returns with Gary, the hornless gay unicorn, and a half-giant named Tiggy, earning the moniker Sam of Wilds.

At 15, Sam learns what love truly is when a new knight arrives at the castle - Knight Ryan Foxheart, the dreamiest dream to have ever been dreamed.

Naturally, it all goes to hell when Ryan dates the reprehensible Prince Justin, Sam can't control his magic, a sexually aggressive dragon kidnaps the prince, and the king sends them on an epic quest to save Ryan's boyfriend, all while Sam falls more in love with someone he can never have.

Or, so he thinks.

Between a fab story and a great narrator this story is a winner. It makes you laugh out loud and yell at it

This is fantasy meets modern queer romance. This is the perfect book for anyone who loves magical lore but thought it needed to be less straight. It's progressive, surprisingly erotic (at times) and made me cackle with laughter. And there is plenty of heart melting moments too. The voice work is brilliant and took a great book to a new level. I LOVE IT!

It's Amaze-balls! Loving & so much laughter

The whole story is ridiculous and I love it. Honestly, it's very sweet and I have found that a fictional character is a better person than I am. I don't think I could have found it in myself to be as strong as Sam or keep my mouth shut about my feelings. This book is filled with angst, so much angst but also the joy in friendship (try not to gag), the wonder in magic and just how damn hot power can be.

Heartaching and delightful

VERY, VERY funny.
Characters make this series one of the best, and Michael Lesley brings them to live just right.
Gary is one of my favorites. Narrators' performance of Gary was AMAZING. I had to pause so many times due to my fits of laughter.
Sam - a lite "silly", naive, lost in his own "world"?
Tiggy smash? - NO Tiggy! . . . Wisdom and pure heart.
Ryan Foxheart - a lite "silly", is this a theme?

I recommend all books in this series.

Overall, good book, in a great series.

Io

This was brilliant. Made me chuckle in so many places. NSFW but a book you won’t put down.

Brilliant! Funny! Gary.

I love you Michael Lesley

Absolutely hysterical. It is like someone put all my favourite things together and wrote a book for me. Klune is bloody brilliant. Not to mention that Michael Lesley is perfection - the timing, the accents, the sass! God of Sass.

What made the experience of listening to The Lightning-Struck Heart the most enjoyable?

Well, this is one of those books that will either continuously make you chortle or weary you because of the massive stream of intense sex jokes/puns/codes/thoughts- slapping in your face. Being in Sam's mind or more precisely in his little-never-closed mouth will leave you no option for something in the middle.But, I was the apprentice to the King’s Wizard, after all.

What other book might you compare The Lightning-Struck Heart to, and why?

'Tell Me It's Real' and 'The Queen & the Homo Jock King' hold the same energy, I expected nothing less of this book. I would like to say that this book is the MOST ENJOYABLE , compering to the others I've just mentioned above.

Any additional comments?

The narrator, Michael Lesley, did a fabulous performance- nailed every singe voice! The differentiation of each of characters were maintained all the way through. I highly recommend the audiobook!

No words!

The sass!

Okay YES I'm a TJ Klune fan! BUT his writing just becomes more original, creative and laugh out loud hysterical😂😂 with a huge dose of 'tongue in cheek' to go with it. Sam is the star who's inner monologue is just outstanding 😀What a brilliant bunch of characters !!
The narrator Michael Lesley gave a staggeringly good performance! He kept up with so many characters and made their voices so different and suitable. The BEST and most enjoyable audio book of 2016 so far by a mile !!*****

Awestruck by outstanding writing
