In this, her third book of the Gisborne saga, [The Tempest, My Lady Gisborne] Ms. Hawkins tells the tale of Guy of Gisborne's son, Owen. However, this is not a story that comes after the last book, but rather a parallel to it, and told mostly from Owen's point of view.Owen is only seventeen when he gets infatuated by Lady Isabella, a beautiful young and married woman that is clearly out of his reach. As he gets to know her and her story better, he gives into his feelings more and more, finally admitting to himself that his heart belongs to this woman and no other.Charlotte Hawkins manages to paint a picture of two individuals that are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Both make many mistakes before their love is given a chance to blossom, and that's what made them more real to me. Their imperfections were dealt with as they grew closer together and it's what made them come to life.As in her previous books, Ms. Hawkins takes the bones of a TV show `Robin Hood' and gives it her own muscle and sinew to bring the Gisborn's to life as we've never seen or read about before.Each story is an original, well told tale of love found, lost and then found yet again.The women in her medieval tales are strong and are not much relying on their knights in shining armor to rescue them, but are willing to work hard and sometimes rescue their knights instead.But most of all, her books are about a family that loves one another through thick and thin.The Baron's Lady is one medieval story you should try and read this summer, especially now that's FREE on Amazon. I hope you'll like it as much as I did.Mel for b2b*Book purchased from Amazon.
