The Highwayman (Victorian Rebels #1) by   Kerrigan Byrne   I love historical romance royals, lovely ladies, and the fashion of it all. It just something I have always loved and this book had that.  This book also had the story of love lost and found for the two lovers in this book.  As children  Farah and  Dougan marred each other and promised each other that when they grew up but they got separated because he saved Farah from a priest. 17 years later Farah was working for the law and find herself face to face with  Dorian Blackwell. Will he help her find her old love? Will he help her find herself? Or will he drive her up the wall to the point were it is a fate worse then death? I enjoyed this book giving it 4 out of 5 stars. This was a good romance novel and plan to read more from Kerrigan Byrne. Happy reading.
