Summary: Very accurate. I loved it!
Comment: Adrian, a young noble, is sent undercover as Adam, by his king to learn if the bishop who is serving as a regent for young lady Mathilda, is conspiring against the crown. Thus, Adam must pretend to be one of the many suitors striving to win the tournament that will determine who will win the lady's hand. Yet, it is not Mathilda, but one of her servants, Joan, the houndskeeper, who catches his eye. This heroic young lady saves Adam's life, and in the process captures his heart. Yet, each has their own hidden purpose that might keep them from finding happiness together.
***** Ann Lawrence has created an outstandingly accurate novel of the Medieval world, where church and state often clashed, as is seen here. With all the gallantry of an epic saga, this story will enthrall readers, as Joan is a Maid Marion type heroine who will not take a backseat to the gallant hero, but is quite capable of saving her own life. These two stand out strongly as honorable and true in contrast to the shallow and back biting characters around them. *****

Summary: "Lord of the Hunt" a special treat for readers
Comment: This is one of my all-time favorite Medieval Romances. Ann Lawrence included everything. She has an outstanding knowledge of Medieval times. Add to that numerous great characters. The characters and personalities of the hero and heroine are developed to the point that they become like old friends. And the villian!!! The man you love to hate. There are even a couple of characters that you can't decide whether they are villains or the "good guys".
And the plot! Superb! Mystery, intrigue, spying, murder. The love scenes actually sizzle. What else could we ask for?
If you are a Medieval reader or just like romance novels, you'll love this book. !

Summary: fine historical romance
Comment: In 1217 England, Bishop Gravant hosts a tournament at Ravenswood Castle in which the winner obtains the hand and property of England's wealthiest heiress. England's King Henry thinks Gravant has rigged the game so the young monarch King Henry assigns his trusted knight Sir Adam Quintin to weed out and halt any seditious acts.
Adam travels to Ravenswood where he meets Joan Swan, keeper of hounds, when she and her animals save his life from a boar. Though she believes she has little choice if she wants to keep her "father" alive and not have herself be used as Gravant's pawn Joan still wonders if she can trust the handsome outsider who stirs her insides like no one has ever done before. Adam thinks he has met the Goddess of the Hunt as he finds himself falling in love with Joan, but questions whether he should trust her with the King's mission.
LORD OF THE HUNT in many ways follows the typical sub-genre fare with Machiavellian betrayals, and regal and churchly power squabbles interfering with two delightful lead characters trying to forge a relationship. However, the twist that freshens up Ann Lawrence's latest thirteenth century romance is the feisty, intrepid heroine who has skills normally left to males. Adam is a delightful hero and Gravant serves as the typical villain, but a strong story line and the two wonderful lead protagonists make for a fine historical romance.
