THE HIGHWAYMAN is the first book in the Victorian Rebel
series by Kerrigan Byrne and it is one the best romance that
I have read this year.
The story starts with two kids, Farah and Dougan, who spend
two years of their lives together in orphanage, fell in love,
and married. When one fateful night, Dougan tries to protect
Farah, everything goes wrong and they become separated.
Seventeen years later, Farah is a respectable widow and
works for Metropolitan Police Headquarters otherwise known
as Scotland Yard, and finally considering marriage again in
hopes of having the children she has always wanted until
Dorian Blackwell, the Blackheart of Ben More, get arrested by
police and kidnap her.
Dorian Blackwell is a hard-hearted, scarred and ruthless
villain who has been looking for Farah for years and never
imagined that he'd find her in Scotland Yard. Now Farah's
life is in danger and Dorian will do anything to protect her.
THE HIGHWAYMAN is the first book I read by Kerrigan Byrne
and I must say, wow, this book is stunning, intensely
emotional, heartbreaking, romantic and dark with secrets.
Kerrigan Byrne's writing captivates the readers through the
whole story and even after you finish the book you can't
stop thinking about it. Her writing is perfect with some
detail that you can use your imagination but nothing
overwhelming or boring. She keeps you guessing that if
Dorian is Dougan, or he is what he claims to be.
Farah and Dorian's story is kind of beauty and beast, with a
sweet and angelic heroine and a scarred, possessive and
jealous hero who sacrifices anything for the woman he loves.
I highly recommend this book and can't wait to read the next
one in this series.
They're rebels, scoundrels, and blackguards-dark, dashing
men on the wrong side of the law. But for the women who love
them, a hint of danger only makes the heart beat faster, in
the stunning debut historical romance The Highwayman by
Kerrigan Byrne.
STEALING BEAUTY
Dorian Blackwell, the Blackheart of Ben More, is a ruthless
villain. Scarred and hard-hearted, Dorian is one of
Victorian London's wealthiest, most influential men who will
stop at nothing to wreak vengeance on those who've wronged
him...and will fight to the death to seize what he wants.
The lovely, still innocent widow Farah Leigh Mackenzie is no
exception-and soon Dorian whisks the beautiful lass away to
his sanctuary in the wild Highlands...
COURTING DESIRE
But Farah is no one's puppet. She possesses a powerful
secret-one that threatens her very life. When being held
captive by Dorian proves to be the only way to keep Farah
safe from those who would see her dead, Dorian makes Farah a
scandalous proposition: marry him for protection in exchange
for using her secret to help him exact revenge on his
enemies. But what the Blackheart of Ben More never could
have imagined is that Farah has terms of her own, igniting a
tempestuous desire that consumes them both. Could it be that
the woman he captured is the only one who can touch the
black heart he'd long thought dead?
