THE HUNTER is the second book in the Victorian Rebel series, where Byrne
takes us on another journey into the lives of heroes who have
been tortured and lost their soul in prison. Although THE HUNTER can be read as
a
stand-alone novel, I highly
recommend reading the first book in the series, THE HIGHWAYMAN. In her first
book in
the series, Byrne
introduced us to the group of dark and broken
characters who you will never believe to love. Christopher Argent is another
broken
hero who had been born
in the prison and grew up there. He is one of the richest
assassins, one who never miss his mark, so why can't he complete
his latest mission, killing the gorgeous actress who is London's darling,
Millicent
LeCour.
Millicent has been protecting a son, Jakub, and a big
secret from the ton. From the first glimpse in the theater, she is attracted to
the cold-hearted Christopher, and even when she learns what he
was hired to do, she can't control her desire. Now she is
torn between the fear and the passion. Christopher wants to find the people who
are
seeking Millicent demise and swears to protect Millicent and her son.
THE HUNTER is darker than what I usually like to read, but
still I like it and can't wait to read her next book in the Victorian
Rebel
series. THE HIGHWAYMAN balanced the
darkness and emotion in the book perfectly, but THE HUNTER is a wonderful
novel.
Kerrigan Byrne is a talented author who grabs your attention
from the first page and makes you feel all the pains,
emotions, and heartache her hero or heroine have been
through. THE HUNTER is another well-written, dark romance with great
character development. I love how Byrne can make you love
her characters, no matter if they're a killer or thief.
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...
A scandalous proposal...
Christopher Argent lives in the shadows as the empire's
most
elite assassin. Emotion is something he tossed away years
ago, making him one of the most clear-eyed, cold-hearted,
wealthiest, and therefore untouchable men in London. But
when his latest target turns out to be London's own
darling,
Millicent LeCour, Christopher's whole world is turned
upside
down. Overwhelmed by her stunning combination of seduction
and innocence, Christopher cannot complete the mission. She
has made him feel again. Now, he will do anything to save
her life, even if it means risking his own...
A perilous passion...
When Millie learns what Christopher was hired to do, she is
torn between the fear in her heart and the fire in her
soul.
Putting herself in this notorious hunter's arms may be her
only path to safety--even if doing so could be the
deadliest
mistake she's ever made. But how can she resist him? As the
heat between her and Christopher burns out of control,
danger lurks in the shadows. Is their desire worth the
risk?
Only the enemy knows what fate has in store...
