Book Description

Jan 2000
They were on opposite sides of the law--but the heart knows no boundaries....

Let this enchanting author take you to medieval England, a land rich in legend and lore, where a nobleman must choose between losing his soul to a merciless monarch--or losing his heart to a woman he is forbidden to love....

She will be his victory--or his downfall.

Tré Devaux, Third Baron of Brayeton, has just been appointed High Sheriff of Nottingham. Devaux's mission: to rid the land of the Saxon outlaws who undermine the king's Norman rule...or face the consequences. Tré will let no one stand in his way--not even the captivating Lady Jane Neville, a sympathizer to the Saxon cause who is much more than she appears.

Jane has inherited the fierce courage of her infamous uncle, Robin Hood, and her unbridled spirit evokes feelings in Tré he thought were long buried. But when Tré and Jane finally surrender to their passion, they will be on opposite sides of the law--and of a war that may cost them both their lives....

5.0 out of 5 stars History and Romance Blend Seamlessly 9 April 2000
By Verse Miller - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In THE BARON, Ms. Garnett breathes new life into an oft-told time period, the reign of King John in the early 13th century. Her thorough research of medieval England history and the evocative settings of Nottinghamshire and Sherwood Forest shine through, transporting the reader back in time and place.

Even if this were lacking, her richly developed and believable characters would carry the story. Tre Devaux, newly appointed High Sheriff of Nottingham, shows us the true and painful meaning of a wounded hero, determined to honor his obligations. And Lady Jane Neville, Robin Hood's niece, illustrates a woman who was, in her youth, a rebellious maid and is now an elegant and composed widow, still bent on seeing justice done. Circumstances put Tre and Jane on opposite sides of the law against a backdrop of turbulent events.

The conflicts between the two are evident and genuine, brings them together as often as it separates them, always to heartbreaking effect. Their mutual attraction leaps off the page and their dialogue is taut and intelligent, furthering both the external and internal plots in a way that narrative cannot. We read courage, loss and longings in Tre and Jane, but without sappy sentimentality or false emotion. Their passion sizzles. Secondary characters are also fully developed and each one essential to the story.

We experience everything in THE BARON we've come to expect in a medieval romance... a great castle, the heroine healing the hero, a tournament, courtly love, the evil villain and a rescue, but each is rendered with fresh, unique realism. Ms. Garnett employs a writing style that creates a fast-paced read and maintains tension and anticipation. Look for her revival of the colon and semi-colon and her use of cunning subtext and provocative phrasing.

A joyous work, impassioned, THE BARON raises the bar for all writers of the genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Action-packed, Romantic Page Turner 18 April 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
A hero who is NOT the king's favored man? A widowed heroine who is NOT an eighteen year-old teenager? Both caught up in the vagaries of history NOT self-produced misunderstandings? This book was a joy to read cover-to-cover. On the strength of the main characters and plot, it would have gotten a 5-star, but there were a few minor plot inconsistencies and hurried segues that an alert editor should have caught, and a strangely rushed denouement that left vague dissatisfaction, having been preceded by so much glorious detail. Still, the story of Tre and Jane is compelling. Definitely worth time invested in its reading. Don't miss Juliana Garnett's "The Scotman" either.
