The Highwayman of Tanglewood by Marcia Lynn McClure
1.0

Oh why did I think I could stomach a romance? Granted, this one was thankfully clean for a romance, but man did this one hurt.

When it wasn't going on about all the kissing and pining, the heroine was really being too clueless to function. You can tell who the Highwayman is after literally reading the first chapter or two. The author does a really poor job of hiding it and couldn't make it more obvious.

Faris, despite only knowing three male characters, has a real tough time of finding out the Highwayman's identity. Naturally, his identity is the one she hadn't even considered. What a shock.

The characters and plot were all so shallow, the "antagonists" were more like nuisances than actually villains. The only thing that slightly amused me was Lochlan's sense of humor, but other than that, this really was a waste.
