The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne

adventurous emotional mysterious

5.0

It's hard to talk about this book without spoilers. It involves orphans, friendship, life hardships. love. It starts with a story of a girl and a boy building up a deep connection. Then we meet Farah, a widow who works for Scotland Yard (the only woman in the office) and Dorian, a powerful criminal who is never caught but has a good heart. There is a lot going on in this book, and I really enjoyed it! It's mysterious and emotional. Sometimes dark but sweet. The characters are strong and survived lots of challenges. Dorian is a traumatized adult, and we see him struggle with his traumas. The romance is slow burn and I was totally invested in it. Both of the main characters have secrets, and it's all revealed in the most interesting way. I want to read more into this series.
