Summary: Well I can say this
Review: Since I wasn't reading the book I can't make a judgment on the book. I was listening to the audio book and I can say this..Never in my life have I been subjected to a more dry and lifeless naraiton. Save yourself much agrivation and don't get the audio version. I would have loved a chance to get into the book but unfortunatly I couldn't stand the book long enough to have the oppritunity.

Summary: This was the Start of My love for Cathrine Coulter
Review: The Baron was the first book of Cathrine Coulter I had read. My sister had been reading her for a while. she she Bought The Wild Baron for me while i was sick and thats were it all started. I loved the mystry of the noval. Rohan is dashing and smart. But Susannah is just as smart. Rohans not at all what she made him out to be. If she had only looked beyound his reputation she probably would have seen this. But i guess thats what make Cathrine Coulter a great author. I have recommended her to all my friends!!!!!!

Summary: Part romance, part mystery, part pure farce
Review: The Wild Baron is quite simply one of the most delightful booksI've read. I applaud the panache and aplomb with which CatherineCoulter has created this diverting Regency-era tale of romance andsuspense. While the spine of the book calls it simply a novel, it is part romance, part mystery, part pure farce. It is pure delight, especially for those ex-or-about-to-be-ex Catherine Coulter fans. This book will change your mind. It changed mine. At the start of this clever tale, Rohan Carrington, Baron Mountvale, sets out to uncover a mystery. How is it possible that his cold fish of a younger brother supposedly "ruined" one Susannah, whom he wed and left penniless before he died? After all, it is Rohan who is the family rake, upholding the reputation of both his studly father and magnificently debauched mother, known throughout England for their charm and philandering ways. But Rohan is not at all what he seems. Trust me. He is a delightful, wonderful hero who gets caught up in a mystery and falls in love along the way with Susannah, who wasn't at all lucky with his dead brother George. Susannah, her younger brother, and her little daughter Marianne , are gathered up by Rohan and moved to his country estate, where he plans to look after them and falls in love along the way. As does Susannah, her younger brother, and her little daughter Marianne, because Rohan is, as I said, a pretty wonderful fellow. Unfortunately, someone wants something that Susannah has, only she doesn't know what it could be. As the mystery unravels, we meet Rohan's beautiful and youthful mother, a close friend of Rohan's who could well be the hero of a sequel, along with some of George's unsavory friends, who, along with another brother to Rohan, are up to absolutely no good, no good at all. What with cat races, a limerick-singing horse trainer, a miniature map and tiny key, dead Bishops, reliquaries, etc., Catherine Coulter takes the reader on a fast-moving ride throughout the English and Scottish countryside. There's a mystery to be solved and Rohan must prove to Susannah that what men and women can do for each other is lovely, not disgusting. Say what you will, but Catherine Coulter can write a great love scene when she wants to. Surprisingly, this book seemed a bit tame , but my sense is that this book is being marketed more toward the mainstream, so perhaps that's why. The Wild Baron is utterly captivating. It is a quick, funny, suspenseful read filled with lovable lead characters, enjoyable secondary characters, and a cast of villains that will lead you on a merry chase. The end result of the mystery is outlandish, but this is fantasy and I had no trouble accepting the outcome Ms. Coulter presented. If you have given up on this author or had contemplated doing so, I suggest giving this author another try and reading this book. If you want to read another Coulter book that presents a wonderful, good-guy hero, I'd suggest Night Fire. The reason this book won't be joining my all-time keeper list? Not quite enough sizzle shown between Rohan and Susannah. Though referred to quite a bit and shown in little ways, there weren't enough actual love-making scenes for this book to earn 5-hearts from me. While love scenes don't usually make or break a book for me, it's something I've come to expect from this author. When she does it right, she does it better than practically anyone else. When she does it wrong, it is about as stimulating as a trip to the OB-GYN, as my old friend Leslie McClain wrote in her review of Rosehaven for The Romance Reader. In the case of The Wild Baron, the love scenes were great, but there weren't enough. Still, this is a terrific book that should satisfy readers who appreciate good humor, great characters, and fine suspense. TTFN, Laurie Likes Books Publisher, All About Romance END

Summary: I finished it only becouse it is Coulter's book
Review: Usually I love Catherine Coulter's books, but this was a first for me - I didn't enjoy it. If you are searching for a good book, don't read this one. Try Coulter's others book - you will find them much better.
