4.5 Stars: Wonderfully medieval! Carol Townend is a new, unique voice in medieval romance. Carol Townend will appeal to readers who crave more history in their medieval historical romances. The beauty of Carol Townend's medieval romance is not just in the accurate references but rather the way she brings history into her characterization, and indeed into the very heart of her story. The beauty and distinctive quality of Carol Townend's romances, however, is the author's use of imagery. Carol Townend has the ability to evoke emotion through her descriptive detail. RUNAWAY LADY, CONQUERING LORD is more plot and dialogue-based than perhaps some of the previous books in the series. Although both action and plot are very well done, this reader would like to see the author make even more use of the distinctive imagery which separates her from lesser authors in the subgenre. Carol Townend's descriptive detail and use of imagery makes her romances memorable long after the last page. If you love medieval romance, Carol Townend's romances are an absolute must! When I read articles on the re-emergence of medieval romance, I immediately think of Carol Townend in the first tier of authors creating a new and better medieval romance. Carol Townend's medieval romances talk up, not down, to readers without some of the silly and even demeaning conventions of some medieval romances while also not lessening in any way the romance of medieval romance. Her women characters are intelligent and passionate. Her heroes are honorable, thoughtful and just as passionate. History and romance are perfectly combined to make her romances both intellectually and emotionally satisfying to today's modern readers.
