took off a star because the final conflict was a tad unnecessary and made the book drag a bit but i'm willing to overlook it. This isn't super eloquent, i'm a lil rusty with reviews but this book rocked. brilliant? i cared about both of the characters and their backstories and the SEX, baby WHOOOOOOOOOOOO it was raunchy for a historical romance but you won't see me complaining things get interesting.Ĭould this criminal be her beloved childhood hubby? mayhaps.įirstly, i listened to this on audio and it was incredible

when a notorious highwayman/criminal is arrested though. she works for scotland yard and is trying to figure out details about her past. *chef's kiss*Īnd then PRESENT DAY! our heroine, farah leigh, is such a lil bad ass. their ability to shut out their bleak reality and share each other's interests.

flashbacks are hit or miss for me but i was instantly taken by the way these two trusted each other. The book opens up with two orphans forging a friendship, boy and girl. This was really, really good! admittedly, i don't have the most experience with historical romance but i think this one was objectively fantastic and like. Could it be that the woman he captured is the only one who can touch the black heart he’d long thought dead? But what the Blackheart of Ben More never could have imagined is that Farah has terms of her own, igniting a tempestuous desire that consumes them both.

When being held captive by Dorian proves to be the only way to keep Farah safe from those who would see her dead, Dorian makes Farah a scandalous proposition: marry him for protection in exchange for using her secret to help him exact revenge on his enemies. She possesses a powerful secret-one that threatens her very life. The lovely, still innocent widow Farah Leigh Mackenzie is no exception-and soon Dorian whisks the beautiful lass away to his sanctuary in the wild Highlands…īut Farah is no one’s puppet. Scarred and hard-hearted, Dorian is one of London’s wealthiest, most influential men who will stop at nothing to wreak vengeance on those who’ve wronged him…and will fight to the death to seize what he wants. But for the women who love them, a hint of danger only makes the heart beat faster…ĭorian Blackwell, the Blackheart of Ben More, is a ruthless villain. They’re rebels, scoundrels, and blackguards-dark, dashing men on the wrong side of the law.
