Summary: pleasant Regency romantic fantasy
Comment: In England, the Earl of Bradwell, Cyrus Fleming breaks the pact his ancestors have had with the Fane by trespassing into the magical fairy forest. For punishment, the Forest Lord Hern demands that Cyrus hand over his beautiful teenage daughter Eden so he can sire an heir. Cyrus agrees, but demands that Hern appears as a mortal and courts Eden. Not long afterward Cornelius Fleming arrives, courts Eden and makes love to her, which leaves her pregnant. He plans to marry her, but she learns the truth about his heritage. She flees, marries someone else, while he goes into a deep sleep after learning that their child died.
Six years later and Hern awakens to learn that Eden has returned home and their son lives. Hern plans to abduct the lad he thought was dead from the widow who he feels betrayed him twice. Masquerading as a mortal servant, Hern soon realizes his foe did not know their child lived until she came home. He also finds he wants to put the lost smile back on Eden's face, but years of spousal abuse and betrayal by her father and Cornelius leaves her filled with distrust.
THE FOREST LORD is a pleasant Regency romantic fantasy that reads more like a second chance at love between two distrusting souls than a star crossed specie reverie. The audience will appreciate the lead characters, especially Hern, who occasionally displays otherworldly talents. Readers will desire more Fane tales that contain a wee bit more fairy dust especially a two decade into the future sequel starring the son Donal.

Summary: fabulous and wonderful tale
Comment: Courtesy of A Romance Review
Eden Fleming elopes with her cousin, Cornelius Fleming, and conceives a child before discovering that Cornelius is not human. She flees and gives birth to a son a few months later but is told the baby died. She then leaves Hartsmere and marries another man. Six years later Eden's husband tells her, before he dies, that her son is still alive. After the funeral, Eden returns to Hartsmere in search of her son.
The Forest Lord, Hern, one of the last of Fane, needs an heir of his blood or he cannot return to his homeland, Tir-na-nog. One day, Eden's father, Cyrus, is hunting in the forest and breaks the pact between the Flemings and the Fanes that has been intact for over a million years. Hern is angry and threatens to take the fortune of the Flemings forever, unless Cyrus's daughter weds him and produces a child of his making. Cyrus finally agrees but adds a condition that Hern must gain Eden's love before they wed.
The Forest Lord proves to be a tale of pure magic and fantasies. The story itself is dazzling and captivating. The characters dance with life along the flow of the story. It is one of those books that once you start, you will not be able to put it down. Although I am not interested in pagan mythology, this book arises my curiosity in finding out more and reading more. Ms. Krinard's novels have been popular among paranormal romance lovers and I highly recommend The Forest Lord for a newbie like me to start with. A fabulous and wonderful read for anyone who loves a great tale!

Summary: A FABULOUS Read!
Comment: Once upon a time, there was a forest that lay on the estates of the Flemings. Generations had sworn an oath to protect the forest and its inhabitants. For this, the guardian, a powerful Fairie or Fae, will grant them wealth and prosperity. So long as the forest and the animals that dwell within remain untouched.
Cyrus Fleming, the Earl of Bradwell, did not believe this legend. He shoots at a stag, following it deeper into the forest. Suddenly, he is face to face with the guardian. An imposing figure that makes him shiver in fear.
In exchange for his life, Cyris must give the Forest Lord his daughter, Eden.
He has no choice but to agree. But there is a stipulation. The Forest Lord must win Eden's love. He agrees. Donning the disguise as a mortal man, he courts her as Cornelius Fleming. With gentleness, he wins her heart. After a night of passion, Eden discovers with whom she has given her heart to. Frightened, she runs away unaware that she is carrying his child.
For thousands of years, the Forest Lord had stood watch making sure that the ravages of mankind do not touch the forest. After endless lonliness, he longs to return to his beloved land. Yet, he cannot. The Queen of the Fairie has forbidden him entrance until he provides his people with a child needed to save his race from extinction.
Cyrus begs the Forest Lord to stay away from Eden for she is stricken with fear and shock. He agrees only until the child is born. Nine months later, he confronts Cyrus who tells him that the child has died.
Yet, the child hasn't died and thus begins the Forest Lord's quest for vengeance.
Oh, I LOVED this story. It was different and immediately snared my attention from the very first page. I loved the Forest Lord. He was very powerful, bent on revenge yet could not prevent feelings for Eden to resurface.
Eden was my kind of heroine. She was strong yet had such a gentleness about her. She was easy to identify with and a joy to read about.
BRAVO to Ms. Krinard. The Forest Lord is an outstand lovestory and I pray she continues onward in this vein.
