An intriguing start to a new series, there were many things I loved about The Highway Man, and a few details that irked me.

There was a refreshing difference to this romance, including Farah's job at Scotland Yard and the fact Dorian is the one with a damaged heart, body, and soul (and huge sexual hangups).

Slight spoilers ahead, but if you didn't realized this straight off, please.

What I didn't like was the absurd notion that Farah doesn't realize who Dorian is. He remembers her and can identify her as an adult instantly, but throw an eye patch on this guy and she has no clue. Seriously?

I think the overall love story would have been more satisfying for me if the characters had known each other better (not just based everything off a couple of weeks as children).

Still, a lot of fun. Recommend for those who also love [a:Sarah MacLean|1598076|Sarah MacLean|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1216068049p2/1598076.jpg]'s books.
