The Ultimate Highwayman

A wonderful story - I simply did not want the book to end! This is a keeper. The prose reminded me of my much loved "Jane Eyre" and gave me the same feeling. My only complaint was that such a great story deserved a much better cover!

highway man by nadine crenshaw

good thing i am one of those persistent people i found the build up to the first meeting of the main characters was too long and dry (they meet in chapter 4/6/?) the rest of the book was superb. this book is on my keeper shelf

A sexy version of Alfred Noyes' poem-- with a happier end.

I enjoyed this. I like romance but am squeamish about simplified characters and excessive machismo-- I thought the author did a neat job of grounding a seductive storyline in real physical details and truthful emotional responses. It was quite poignant and carried some of the dark romantic sadness of Alfred Noyes' poem-- with a happier ending. My only complaint is that it was a little too dark for me--admittedly the 18th century had its grim side, but when I'm reading escape fiction I like to come away feeling like, well, like I've escaped. Still the characters were romantic and real and I found the whole book both sexy and poignant. Would like to find more titles by this author available-- I'll have to check the used bookstores.
