Long Live The Baron:Nina Jarret

⭐⭐⭐⭐ — A Romantic Mystery with Heart and Humour

Long Live the Baron by Nina Jarret is a charming mix of romance, mystery, and redemption. The hero, heir to the murdered Baron, starts out as a carefree rake who’s spent most of his days chasing widows and living for pleasure. But when he’s suddenly accused of his father’s murder, his world turns upside down—and he quickly discovers who his true friends really are.

Enter Lily: principled, outspoken, and utterly endearing. She’s the perfect foil to his reckless charm, and watching them navigate a marriage neither of them expected is absolute romance gold. Their journey from reluctant partners to genuine love is tender, funny, and deeply satisfying.

The mystery and intrigue thread adds an extra layer of excitement and keeps the pages turning. While the tone stays lighthearted at times, the emotional moments land just right. Overall, this story delivers a lovely balance of passion, wit, and suspense—a thoroughly enjoyable historical romance.
