Rave reviews from Goodreads readers
"There are hero knights, sword fights, chases, and escapes before all is concluded in this tale loosely based on British history. This is an enjoyable read and one which you read quickly simply because you won't want to put it down." Karen M. Goodreads
"There is political intrigue, conspiracies and mysteries in this book. This is well written, believable and exciting. The author does a great job of finding a balance between having a clever plot that keeps you guessing and keeping the plot easy to follow. " --Richard, Goodreads
"The beauty of this book, though, is the way Mr. Barlog weaves truth and fiction to create a book that was very hard to put down. He takes a bit of license but that is the joy of reading fiction." --Patty, Goodreads
"This is the first book that I've read from this author and I was really impressed." --Glen, Goodreads
One woman's courage will decide the fate of the English crown.
The Heart of the Lion is King Richard the Lionheart's England at its most tumultuous. His kingdom teeters on the verge of a bloody war, with the victor taking the crown and death the punishment to the vanquished.
The English countryside roils in the throes of political upheaval as King Richard sails from defeat in the Holy Lands to fight another war at home. A war against his own blood. The irascible and treacherous Prince John seeks to usurp the throne behind his brother's back.
But waylaid on his return voyage, Richard must fight to remain alive and free deep within his enemies' lands, while Princess Joanna and Queen Eleanor struggle to uncover John's growing cabal.
Now only Joanna stands brave enough between her brothers. She must risk her life to save her mother and her king. For the prince vows to destroy any who dare step between him and the crown.
The Heart of the Lion vividly portrays a woman whose courage is paramount to saving an entire kingdom. Non-stop action and intrigue unfold on both English soil and on the continent as a brother and sister fight to remain free and alive against their enemies.
This engrossing story is a must read for all medieval enthusiasts.

The Heart of the Lion edition by J M Barlog Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I won this book through Goodread First Reads giveaways and am giving an honest review.
A simple story set during the time of King Richard and Prince John and the ensuing battle for the Royal crown.
The was an enjoyable novel in terms of the historical fiction aspects. It also had its' share of action, evil plots, treachery and moments of surprise.
A light read, there was nothing complex about the story line or the characters. Prose was a bit sophomoric and there were a few incidences where the author discovered a word and felt compelled to reuse it several times indicating to me a lack of imagination.
However, I truly did enjoy the novel and the subject matter gave me the impetus to research more on Richard the Lionheart and his brother John.
2 1/2 stars...
This was in between a "Meh" and an "It's okay". These are the thoughts I wrote while reading the first 3/4 of the story
Story Jumps around too much. Having a hard time connecting emotionally at all. I'm seeing nothing in my mind outside of the words I am forcing myself to read.
The last 1/4 of the story, here were my thoughts
FINALLY! I'm finding some interest in the story. Still reads disconnected but there is enough going on that it's got me feeling I can complete the story. Feeling some anger that the people I want to see live are dying. It at least got some feeling out of me.
I was so hopeful when reading the book's description. Love this time period, love the Plantagenets. This book has a sequel but I'm not sure I want to spend the time reading it. I have noticed others really enjoyed this and have given 4 and 5 stars so please don't let my feelings sway you to try it if you love Medieval Historical Fiction.

The sequel to this book is `The Lion Unleashed'.
Leah for b2b
The Heart of the Lion is the story about King Richard’s trip back from the crusades, where he was captured and held for ransom. Back in England, Prince John tries to gain power of the throne by gaining supporters. Queen Eleanor and her daughter, Princess Joanna, both must try to help Richard without being caught by Prince John.
The story is written in third person following the main characters. Richard is the strong king that history sets out. Coming back from the Holy Land, his ship crashes ashore from a storm. With only a few survivors, he must find a safe passage home to England. This doesn’t go as planned and that means trouble for the King. Prince John is very evil in this book. He uses whoever and whatever to gain a better grip on the crown. He keeps secrets and spies on his mother who is known to support his brother, Richard. Princess Joanna is a spunky girl for the time, who will do anything to help her brother back from the crusades. She does spying herself to see what forces Prince John has managed to acquire. Rynhawker is a knight that fought with Richard in the Holy Lands. He has come back home to his wife and young daughter, while also teaching young Thomas the arts and skills of knighthood. He is very loyal to King Richard and knows that one day he will have to stand by his King again to secure his crown.
The story moves along well. There are some twists and turns in the story – nothing I was too surprised by. If you know the story about King Richard and Prince John (although I’m not a historian), the main events won’t be a big surprise. The story leaves off for the next book, which I will review shortly. One thing that bothered me while reading the book was the sudden jump in character perspectives. It wasn’t always separated/denoted with chapters or chapter breaks.
Overall I enjoyed this book. If you like medieval history – especially with King Richard/Prince John/Queen Eleanor, you might want to take a look at this book.
This has got to be one of the worst books I ever tried to read. Note I said "tried". Couldn't get through more than 1.5 chapters. The writing is sophomoric and so full of over the top adjectives that it becomes a cruel joke. I read a paragraph out-loud to my husband and he begged me to stop (not because of my reading ability -) ). If you like that sort of thing then this should be your cup of tea. Otherwise, beware! Wish I had gotten a sample first. It wouldn't be worth it even if it were free.
This was the first of J M Barlog's books that I have read. I have to admit that I am a great fan of historical fiction.
I started this book and virtually read it non-stop. I am certainly not a literary expert but thought it was excellent in both in its style of writing and the story line.
On finishing the book I went to to see what else the author had written. I must admit most were not in my genre but did find one that I liked the look of.
Request J M Barlog please write more historical fiction - The Heart of the Lion was excellent.
