Baron of Godsmere

The Feud 1

By: Tamara Leigh

Narrated by: Mary Sarah Agliotta

England, 1308. Three noblemen secretly gather to ally against their treacherous lord. But though each is elevated to a baron in his own right and given a portion of his lord's lands, jealousy and reprisals lead to a 25-year feud, pitting family against family, passing father to son.

England, 1333. The chink in Baron Boursier's armor is his fondness for a lovely face. When it costs him half his sight and brands him as one who abuses women, he vows to never again be "blinded" by beauty. Thus, given the choice between forfeiting his lands and wedding one of his enemies to end their feud, he chooses as his betrothed the lady said to be plain of face, rejecting the lady rumored to be most fair.

On the eve of the deadline to honor the king's decree of marriage, the fair Elianor of Emberly takes matters into her own hands. Determined none will suffer marriage to the man better known as The Boursier, she sets in motion her plan to imprison him long enough to ensure his barony is forfeited. But when all goes awry and her wrathful enemy compels her to wed him to save his lands, she discovers he is either much changed or much maligned. And the real enemy is one who lurks in their midst. One bent on keeping the feud burning.

I think a might try one more

I found this book entertaining but not a wow factor. I still my try another one

Enjoyed

I really enjoyed this book. The characters are very interesting and the plot compelling. I definitely recommend.

Listen and repeat

I have listened to this series at least 3x
It has a lot going on. A lot of characters which are well developed but sometimes difficult to keep up with. Audio made it easier and Mary Sarah agliotta never disappoints with bringing each character to life.

Easy one of my favorite audio.

Perfect Pair

Tamara's story and Mary's narrating makes for a great combination! I can't wait to finish the series.

Great story! It continues in the next book passing the baton to the next couple.

I loved these characters! You can clearly picture these people! They remind me we are all human. That change through faith in God is not only possible but imminent when your faith comes out in your actions. Pronounced Bay-r is an example of this. Regardless of what Elinor did he was still ready to do all he could & pray for help to make the best, the very best in a situation. And God always, always gives us so much more than we ask for. I think the way the story is written it makes that clear. The plot is amazing, with the best secrets! So good. And the genealogy! Many names are recognized in this book. If you have listened to the conquer series you will recognize the posterity in this book. Bay-r is a descendant of pronounced Vitaleese. Who is a Saxon rebel leader in the conquest series, and there are more to find. Hint: they are in the same vein as their ancestors from the conquest series.
