Aaah, finally, a book with a brain. Set towards the end of Queen Victoria's reign, this story has romance, a murder mystery, a bit of action, a plot twist, and interesting and compelling characters. I really enjoyed this one, & recommend it to anyone who wants more than the insipid shallow romances that seem so prevalent nowadays.

The heroine wants a life unlike other young women of Victorian times. She meets a highwayman the same day she finds out she's to be married. Meanwhile she is writing enflamed newspaper articles under an assumed name. Many twists and turns. It is a good story but not as good as others I have read.

Typical Drake romance but loved the story and action in this book
is ok book to read
Ally Grayson never wanted to be a heroine--she dreamed of writing great stories, not living in a fairy tale. But when she's abducted by a charming highwayman right out of a novel, Ally finds herself thoroughly enchanted. No matter that she's betrothed to another--or that she has no intention of binding herself in an arranged marriage anyway.
But when Mark, her burdensome fiancé, is revealed to be none other than the rogue of her dreams, Ally must make a choice: plunge into a world of murder and deceit without a protector, or place her trust in the man who lies to her but makes her heart sing.
