Publisher Description
"This is historical romance the way it should be written. I loved it!" - New York Times & USA Today best-selling author Karen Robards
Charlotte Engle finds herself on the wrong end of a pistol when her coach is stopped by notorious highwaymen, the Black Trio. Although Charlotte survives the encounter none the worse for wear, her mother, Lady Epping, decides Charlotte is in need of a husband to protect her. Charlotte is inclined to agree only when introduced to Kenley Fairfax. Kenley is charming and handsome, a young lord with a sordid past and a reputation for trouble. He’s just the sort to strike Charlotte’s fancy—and horrify her mother. When Lady Epping arranges a marriage to an insufferable cad, however, Kenley comes to her rescue declaring she has already agreed to marry him. Kenley charms and excites Charlotte more than any man she has ever met, but can she really marry someone she has known less than a week? A man with secrets in his life he keeps fiercely guarded? Not to mention one her mother despises?

Excellent light reading
A good relaxing light read kept me intertwined whilst on holiday.
Highwayman Love
Y. Highwayman Love 6.5/10
Free iBook. Some good parts in this book, even though some parts were less great. Characters are 2 dimensional but still the book has some delightful bits, such as the love between Kenley and his aged butler. The author has promise, and I hope she keeps developing and improving.
Lady Charlotte writes her intelligent blue stocking views for the paper. Odious James, heir to an earldom, intends to marry her, but she has an instant attraction to Lord Kenley, an impoverished Earl with a troubled past, who actually listens to her views and discusses things as if she is an equal. When James tries to announce their engagement (without asking her) Kenley steps forward and says they are already engaged. Kenley is in fact his half brother, and he and his cousin and her brother were highwaymen, but James tried to murder his own father...
A different take
This is an easy and enjoyable read although the language used is rather different to the normal for this genre... I'm not sure it works that well..
But I'll give this author another go.
