A review by elylibrarysec
The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne
5.0
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
The author starts this tale off very sweet but then it turns out to be very sad. It’s a great way to grab the reader’s attention. You want to find out what has become of these two characters. She also made me realize that I hadn’t read a historical romance in quite a while. I’m glad that she has reminded me of why I love them.
You might want to be careful if you take it to read while waiting for an appointment. The doctor finally came into the room and I almost asked him to come back in five. I never thought of this before – it’s your lucky day – but this is not a good bathroom read. Family members will wonder where you disappeared to.
I’m also very pleased that I had the paperback copy. It has a very inspiring cover that I can look at any time I choose. When reading on an electronic device, I can’t do that as easily. There’s also no reason to plug it in when it starts to run out of power. Besides that there’s no clockwatching – with my reader, the clock is always popping up and it becomes distracting.
One of the sites I follow also happened to do a review of this book and had a picture of Sam Heughan and I have to say “great inspiration”. He certainly has the brogue down. With the words that this author uses, I can feel both the pain and the joy that these characters feel. Yes, I feel that the author has an interesting take on Beauty and the Beast but I forget all about that. I just sit back and enjoy this for what it is – a very enjoyable tale. Some of you may not remember that Harlequin actually had movies. I would watch them over and over again – then they just seemed to disappear. This book had me wishing that if they can have sports, food, and all types of movie channels why couldn’t they have a channel that’s only dedicated to romance.
Now this is the first book in the series so I don’t know how she’s going to follow this book but it will be interesting to find out. It will be a wait since it doesn’t come out until February but it just might be worth it. It’s titled The Hunter and since it involves a character from this book, you may want to stay true to the series and read this book first. If you want to know more about book two, our author includes a teaser at the end of the book.
