The Highwayman

This is one of the best stories I have read. I couldn’t wait to read the next page. It’s a wonderful story of intrigue and love. Steamy too.

This is a book which although at first seems well written the story line is too far fetched to accomplish what all fictional stories try to achieve namely to be believable. The language is too modern particularly when male characters step out of their comfort zones and start cursing 21 Century swear words like the F word which were not in use at the time. The author should read Historical Romance writers like Georgette Heyer, Mary Balogh, Theresa Romain to name a few, the research undertaken by these writers is reflected in their historical settings and their marvellous dialogues and scripts which reflect the period era bringing the language alive and true. I understand the layers that the above mentioned writers bring to their writings which cannot be duplicated unless a great deal of of real historical research and study is carried out, nevertheless within its linguistics limitations the book is entertaining and provides some escapism.

This was my first Kerrigan Byrne book and it was amazing. I loved Dorians backstory even though it was so sad. It really connected me to him and all of the side characters. I loved Farrah as well. She was so strong and loving. This book pulled me in from the first page. The writing and characters are great. I thought it was so sweet that he called Farrah “My Fairy”. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

WOW

This story is beyond amazing. Full of mystery and intrigue. The hero and heroine’s trip their HEA is one you will want to take again and again!!!!

Fantastic

What an author. This was a deep, dark and emotional story. You really get to know the characters and feel like you become a part of the story. The author did a great job with every character in the book without taking away from the two lead characters. She has great talent with her style and her history seems to be on point. A truly amazing book- I can't wait to read it again.

I read this based on a review, and I'm very glad I did. Not only exciting, but a well developed and complex story. I really enjoyed tis, can't wait for the next in the series.

Fantastic,spellbinding,unable to put it down!!

As children, Farah and Dougan were soon inseparable, Farah’s open and loving heart that brought Dougan into her life set them on a path to love, albeit childish. They had even declared themselves married, and life for them always included one another. But when Farah is nearly abused, and Dougan steps in to defend her, he is sent to prison and she is left to manoeuver life alone. Fast forward several years, and Farah is posing as a widow, using Dougan’s surname, and working for Scotland Yard. She’s never forgotten Dougan, and while she wants a family of her own, her options are limited, and loveless. Soon, however, she is taken by Dorian, a man at the center of a manhunt, believed to run all things nefarious in London, best exemplified by his cold and calculating presence. But, all is not as it seems, and Dorian, enchanted by his former prison-mate Dougan’s tale of the wondrous “Fairy” had sought her out. She’s apparently the target of danger, and Dorian wouldn’t want anything happen to the woman he’d come to know through tales in prison. The dark and brooding hero is back! Dorian is nothing but solicitous and kind to Farah, even as his remove is buried beneath layers of abuse and issues, from childhood and even in prison. Again, Farah’s heart and strength of character shine through. Still holding on to her memories of Dougan, she can’t help but see the same characteristics in Dorian: the protectiveness, the wary watchfulness, the care with which he approaches new situations, and the underlying doubts he has. Wonderfully gripping, wholly emotional and beautifully described, these characters come alive on the page, set in a rather unforgiving landscape. Byrne has written a wonderful story here that promises many good things for the future. I certainly have the next in the series on my watch list and have several other titles from her in my library to read. I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
