I borrowed this novel from the library. It was a sweet but tragic beginning and touched my heart with the H and h meeting in their childhood. The rest of the story is a mystery and a great love story. I gave it 5 stars. I hope many members get to read this gripping love story.
Finally, a book I haven't read! This had been on my TBR for awhile. I'm looking forward to reading it
I just started. a great beginning for the characters.
I just finished. I have an unpopular opinion, but I thought the book was just okay. I loved the beginning with them as kids. As adults, I couldn't connect with them. I wasn't glued to the story.I think the book was soo overhyped that it couldn't live up to my expectations. It was still very well written and just didn't grab my attention.
Join us in reading this HR that features the theme Kidnapping. Happy reading!
The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne
Synopsis:
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…
STEALING BEAUTY
Dorian Blackwell, the Blackheart of Ben More, is a ruthless villain. Scarred and hard-hearted, Dorian is one of 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?
