Reviews
The plot is anything but predictable. Twists and turns involving past adulteries, exchanged infants, and rivalry between cousins keeps the action moving at a fast pace. The 18th-century atmosphere is colourful, from the horror of Newgate Prison to bucolic country life in Hounslow. The novel is packed with well-drawn characters: rich and poor, thief and aristocrat., There's nothing like a highwayman robbing a carriage to kick off a story and that's how this one begins... I liked the dialogue in this story which I thought was fitting for this time period and the historical detail was well presented. I also like that there's sort of a story in a story... Despite its 250 plus pages, it's a fairly quick read. If you like historicals, and like me especially look for ones set in England during the 1700s, I think you'll find this an enjoyable read., There's nothing like a highwayman robbing a carriage to kick off a story and that's how this one begins. In this book highwayman's a young woman, and yes, I know it's been done many times before, but it never gets old. Well, at least not for me. The scene was slightly humorous and you find yourself cheering on the highwayman as soon as she draws her weapon. Cora is a character I liked from the beginning, even when she was breaking the law. She's got a valid reason and it's not just to line her own purse with other people's money and belongings. Jack is also a likeable character and from the beginning he knows he wasn't robbed by a man which keeps you reading to find out if and when he's going to run into Cora and if he'll recognize her. I liked the dialogue in this story which I thought was fitting for this time period and the historical detail was well presented. I also like that there's sort of a story in a story. Jack thinks Cora might be somehow related and that's when the sub-plots kicks into high gear and keeps you reading on. The secondary characters were also well rounded and seemed to have their own story too. Despite its 250 plus pages, it's a fairly quick read. If you like historicals, and like me especially look for ones set in England during the 1700s, I think you'll find this an enjoyable read.

Synopsis
Is it a crime to steal a heart? Hounslow, 1768. Jack Blythe, heir to the Earl of Lampton, is a man with great expectations. So when his carriage is held up by a masked woman, brandishing a pistol and dressed as a gentleman of the road, he wholly expects to have his purse stolen. And when he senses something strangely familiar about the lovely little bandit, Jack also expects to win his cousin's wager by tracking her down first. But as Jack and the highwaywoman enter into a swashbuckling game of cat and mouse, uncovering an intricate web of fiercely guarded family secrets, the last thing Jack expects to have stolen is his heart. AUTHOR: Henriette Gyland grew up in Northern Denmark but moved to England after she graduated from the University of Copenhagen.
