Andalin is accustomed to her father’s frequent travels—and to being left behind. So when he returns home and instructs her to pack her belongings, she is bewildered—but there is no time for questions as she is whisked away on a mysterious journey under the cover of night. When their tense flight leads them into the forbidding Black Forest, the pair quickly finds themselves in great peril. With little hope of escape, father and daughter are spared when rescue appears in the form of the mysterious Dark Rider, a notorious deadly highwayman feared by all he meets. But his assistance does not come without a price: he is taking Andalin with him. Now her fate rests in the hands of the enigmatic masked man whose secrets are inescapably tied to the beautiful young woman now in his charge.
Review - I was really excited to read the The Masked Baron by Anneka Walker, but it wasn't as I expected. It's marked as a regency romance, but it's unlike anything else for this genre and it felt like it was in the wrong category. Regency romance tends to fit within the historical Regency Era and has certain writing conventions adhering to the societal structure of that time. This book seemed more like a fairy tale romance to me. It also felt like it didn't need to be marked with a specific historical time period or setting.
The action in the story moved fairly quickly and I enjoyed unraveling the mystery. Most fairy tale books tend to retell a classic fairy tale, but this book told a brand new fairy tale that was creative and unique. The relationships between the characters were interesting and dynamic. It was a compelling read and a fun escape. I would recommend it to those who enjoy fairy tales and romance. It was also clean and wholesome. Adults and Young Adults (YA) would enjoy this story. To learn more about The Masked Baron, click here.
