The Lady and the Highwayman by Sarah M. Eden
5.0

I loved this book which is a book about authors but is also so much more!
I loved getting to learn about "penny dreadfuls" -stories for the lower classes. I loved that Sarah included the two main characters stories within this story.
I love everything about Fletcher Walker! Having, himself, come from the "gutter" and his helping get other street urchins away from horrible situations with the Dread Penny Society. I loved that it was his reason of writing these stories- to help fund his cause.
Elizabeth Black was a fun, witty, and driven female lead. I loved that she wrote penny dreadfuls as Mr. King, it being her true passion, all the while still writing her more accepted silver fork novels. All this to be able to help her girls school to educate those girls that may not have had a chance elsewhere.
I liked the dynamic of Fletcher and Elizabeth's slow but beautifully growing love story.
