England, 1308. Boursier, De Arell, Verdun - three noblemen who secretly gather to ally against their treacherous lord. Though each is elevated to a baron in his own right and given a portion of his lord's lands, jealousy and reprisal lead to a 25-year feud, pitting family against family, passing from father to son.
England, 1333. When Lady Quintin Boursier leads an army against the Baron of Blackwood to demand the release of her abducted brother, she finds the same fate awaits her. Now she must free herself and discover where Griffin de Arell holds her brother before her family's lands are forfeited. But as the long winter nights unfold and those prowling the black wood move the feud nearer its deadly end, Quintin realizes she may have wronged her captor. And he is as much a captive to her - she whose secret will spoil the prize others seek to make of a woman no man should want.
Baron Griffin de Arell protects those who belong to him, and now that the tempest who dared put a blade to his throat is his, he intends to protect her - if only from herself. However, Quintin Boursier yet has games to play. Though Griffin resists her wiles, when it appears her family's lands are forfeited, a glimpse of her woman's heart tempts him to make the lady his in truth. Now with the enemy responsible for inciting the feud determined to claim her as his prize, Griffin must join his grudging allies in bringing peace to their lands and protecting the woman who first set herself at his walls - then his warrior's heart.
Join Griffin and Quintin in the third and final book in this best-selling medieval romance series as the Boursiers, De Arells, and Verduns seek the light at the end of their long, dark feud.

This is the final volume of The Feud trilogy, and I strongly recommend to read the books in order, because of the complex plots, the returning characters in each and because there is a mystery plot arc that concludes only in this book but information is scattered in the previous books as well. The story is about the third couple's romance: Quintin Boursier and Griffin de Arell; and about the final defeat of the villains who caused so much suffering throughout the trilogy.I very much enjoyed reading this book. Tamara Leigh always creates honourable heroes and heroines who are subject to temptations and try hard to do the right thing, although sometimes they fail and have to ask for - and accept - forgiveness. Another aspect I appreciate is that although the desire between the protagonists is described, the relationship is not primarily on the physical level: appreciation of the other's character and commitment to the other person is very much in focus. Sex scenes are not described in detail but there is indication to strong attraction and pleasure found in intimacy - as it is customary in the author's books.
Some reviewers point out that during the first half of the book events from the previous books are retold. It's true, since the beginning of the relationship between Quintin and Griffin occurs during the course of the first novel, when Quintin rides to Griffin's castle believing he holds her brother captive and demands his release - and during her subsequent captivity in his fortress. But although some important events are known to the reader before they occur in this novel, we see a lot of crucial events that occurred out of sight in the previous stories, and there is also new inside point of view information on those events we knew about. SoI don't think it was "just a rehash". I felt some impatience sometimes, because I knew more than the characters and wanted them to catch up, but it was more about outside events than their own story (mainly, they were for a long while in uncertainty whether Bayard Boursier's and Elianor's marriage would be accepted by the king - resulting that our protagonists are free to/even obligated to marry each other, while in case of an opposite ruling they could not have a future together. This is not an uncertainty for the reader, so I was wishing they get updated on it as soon as possible so we could move on.) Otherwise, I was not bothered by allusions to the previous books' stories at all, and had no difficulty placing any event in the timeline. Of course, I read fairly recently both prequels.
There is a change around the middle of the book: the first half concentrates on the development of the relationship between Quintin and Griffin, and the second half more on the exposure and defeat of the villains through the joint efforts of all the three families. There is rather a lot of torture, violence and gore during the final showdown, but it is somewhat to be expected in a medieval setting where warriors are trained to bear a lot of pain, and also because the villain was previously hinted to be quite sadistic. A previously described unsympathetic character, Griffin's father, Ulric de Arell is redeemed in this book, especially during he final conflict, an event I very much hoped for. There is another side character, Griffin's brother Serle de Arell, whose adulterous relationship with Constance Verdun Boursier (described in Book 1) caused a lot of trouble, and whose selfish, unrepentant, arrogant behavior is in contrast to Griffin and Quintin's determination that they don't allow their own wishes and desires to hurt their families. I liked Griffin's motto: think much, so that you shall regret little, and pray much.
I very much enjoyed the strong alliance shown towards the ending between all the previously feuding characters: the Barons of Godsmere, Emberly and Blackwood and their respective brides.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes medieval romance with strong and honourable characters.

Baron of Blackwood The Feud Book 3 (Audible Audio Edition) Tamara Leigh Mary Sarah Agliotta Books Reviews
I regularly check to see what Tamara Leigh has in the works. The romance is always passionate and intimate without being....smutty. Love making is reserved for marriage...almost unheard of today but how touching that these fictitious men value that! I would trade the convenience of my indoor plumbing for any one of them. My very favorite read aside from Francine Rivers "Mark of the lion" is Leigh's "Age of Faith" and this series now completes my top 3. The romance is always deep, selfless and more than physical attraction. The plot is complex and smart but written in a way that I can follow. Her writing is so intelligent. To find clean romance, I often end up reading something geared toward teens with simple plots, words and topics or so "clean" the romance feels like siblings! I have found few authors that can write passion as God intended along with a gripping tale. She does this perfectly!
Although I enjoy all of her books, my favorites are from this "Knights in shining armor" time period. I'm so excited to hear Durant's story to continue the Age of Faith series. 2017....I can hardly wait. Thank you Tamara Leigh!
By the way...I can almost see an entirely new series starting with Rhys and the next generation. What do you think Tamara??? I loved that this epilogue took us far into the future! Thank you for not finishing the story at the wedding! I groan every single time that predictable ending shows up!
I have eagerly anticipated the conclusion to Leigh's series, The Feud; and it did not disappoint! I dove into the story, and wished late last night, that I had it in me to stay up and finish it. Leigh once again, transports us to another time and place and breaths life to her characters and the setting. There is the perfect blend of chemistry, hope, love, friendship, suspense, romance and faith. In fact, it will be hard to say goodbye to these characters. Thankfully, I read that she is writing the 6th Book to the Age of Faith series (Sir Durand's tale)!
Baron of Blackwood, starts us back to the beginning of the tale in Book 1, but told from Quintin and Griffin's eyes. I enjoyed getting to see the behind the scene by plays that they shared, which were but hinted at in the previous novels. There is a satisfying ending, but still one that leaves you hopeful that Leigh might revisit these characters again, maybe through their children's tales.
Overall, a very well written clean read romance, with just the right dash of suspense to keep the pages rapidly flying! Really looking forward to what Leigh has in store for us next!
This is the final volume of The Feud trilogy, and I strongly recommend to read the books in order, because of the complex plots, the returning characters in each and because there is a mystery plot arc that concludes only in this book but information is scattered in the previous books as well.
