The Masked Baron by Anneka R. Walker -- Blog Tour Review

About the Book

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

Anneka R. Walker has written a charming and sweet Beauty and the Beast meets masked highway man story that readers will delight in.  It’s filled with a fun twist on the Beauty and the Beast fairytale woven through the story, along a bit of mystery and danger, making the story engaging and enticing.  Throughout the story, readers will enjoy watching the ebb and flow as the relationship between Ellis and Andalin blooms.  Although Andalin is a bit whiny in the first part of the story, she does get better as it goes along.  Especially as she comes to better understand Ellis.  The story could have used more development, but overall was a cute and memorable read.  Readers will be watching for more from this enjoyable author.
