Book Synopsis:
England, 1813
Forced into a marriage...
Compelled
by her uncle to marry a man who has a predilection for violence, Tess
Stanhope resorts to a ploy from her favorite novels to fund an escape -
highway robbery. But her attempt is botched by a maddening, handsome
rogue named Aiden.
Driven by revenge...
Aiden
Masters, the Earl of Charnley, is hell-bent on avenging his sister's
brutal treatment at the hands of the criminal Florian Nash. He
single-mindedly seeks vengeance at the expense of all else - even by
furtively roaming the highways at night.
Blackmailed for love...
At
a London party Tess meets up with Aiden once again and blackmails
him... marry her or she'll divulge to society his clandestine life as a
highwayman. She desires a marriage in name only - but the more time
they spend fighting their desire, the closer they come to giving in.
Review:
The Highwayman's Bride by Jane Beckenham has so much going for it. First of all, I loved the strong-spirited Tess Stanhope. I love that she's willing to do anything to escape marriage to such a horrible man. Then you have the amazing romance that builds between Tess and Aiden, which is even more enjoyable. If you love historical romance, you're going to love this book.
