Hibbert, Cristopher; Weinreb, Ben; Keay, John; Keay, Julia (2011). The London Encyclopaedia. Pan Macmillan. p.424. ISBN 978-0230738782. Creating such series as ‘The DemonWars Saga’, he’s built a well established name for himself. Not only that, but he’s also worked for other franchises such as ‘Star Wars’ as well, as he adds to their mythology too. Early and Personal Life Walford, Leslie (7 March 2011). "Stand and Deliver!". Time & Leisure. Archived from the original on 7 July 2018 . Retrieved 27 December 2016. Reading The Highwayman was like riding a roller coaster. Some scenes were stunning while others ended with my patience. I had great expectations for this one and I’m sorry to say it was a disappointment.

This book is a second-chance romance with Farah (H) and Dougan/Dorian (h) as protagonists. Farah and Dougan met in an orphanage when they were children but something happens that makes them fall apart. The bandits in Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia and Bulgaria under Ottoman rule were the Hajduks (Hajduci, Хајдуци, Хайдути), rebels who opposed Ottoman rule and acted as a guerilla force, also instrumental in the many wars against the Ottomans and especially the Serbian revolution. Serbian and Croatian refugees in Austro-Hungarian (and Habsburg) lands were also part of the Uskoci. Notable freedom fighters include Starina Novak, a notable outlaw was Jovo Stanisavljević Čaruga. Encouraged to continue by his English teacher at school, he took this interest on with him into the adult world, as he set about making a living from it. Next he went onto University graduating with a degree in Communications after gaining an avid interest in fantasy, especially ‘The Lord of the Rings’ by J.R.R. Tolkien. Use chalk or white crayon on dark paper if you have any to create a ghostly picture of the highwayman and/or Bess at the end the poem. The twist: I mean, the only person that didn't know about the twist was Farah which got kind of annoying LOL.Then one day, the millionth student requested something "short and exciting" for mandatory class reading and the librarian felt she had nothing to lose. Clark, Sir George (1956). The Later Stuarts, 1660–1714. Oxford History of England: Oxford University Press. p.259. ISBN 0-19-821702-1.

The Highwayman is one of the best romances I have read this year!! My goodness, I have found a new love in this author and she writes historical romance the way it should be written. Full of depth, complexities and true romance at its core. I just couldn't get enough of this author. I just want more and more, thankfully, the second book will be coming out in a few months in Feb (CHEERS!!). The highwayman known as Juraj Jánošík (1688–1713) became a hero of many folk legends in the Slovak, Czech, and Polish cultures by the 19th century [31] and hundreds of literary works about him have since been published. [32] The first Slovak feature film was Jánošík, made in 1921, followed by seven more Slovak and Polish films about him. Seal, Graham (1996). The Outlaw Legend: a cultural tradition in Britain, America and Australia, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0-521-55317-2 (hbk), ISBN 0-521-55740-2 (pbk)Farah counted the admittedly obscene amount of desserts. Perhaps they should have left out the cocoa sponge cake, or the little cream-and-fruit-stuffed cornucopias with chocolate sauce. She absolutely couldn’t have chosen between the almond cakes with the sherry reduction or the coriander Shrewsbury puffs or … the treacle and vanilla crème brûlée. Oh, dear, perhaps she and Walters had gotten a little carried away this afternoon. Vans are excepted but they must fit in a standard parking space. Trailers are also permitted but two standard spaces must be booked. I LOVED this dark, compelling debut novel from Kerrigan Byrne, and was completely swept away by the emotional impact of the powerful and beautiful love story.

The Highwayman" is the devastating,riveting and carnal romantic novel i have waited for ages to find a opportunity to read.Its the first book i have read by Kerrigan Byrne and i am darn well pissed that i didn`t read this book much earlier.She has a very vivid imagination and a perfect sense of mixing mystery and romance together-in that she also creates unforgettable charismatic characters that readers never will be able to forget.No one warned me of this hero and his irresistible dark sexiness,nor of the heroine who dares him to love her.Two lonely children who fall in love and marry in a orphanage and later on get bitterly separated by evil human beings only to reunite again 17 years later.The agony,the darkness and the passion between Dorian and Farah was too much for my poor heart to handle.I LOVED THIS BOOK and i even now want to read it all over again!

It isn’t hard to figure out the big secret Dorian has been hiding because the clues are clearly signposted. I did enjoy the fact that the reader was privy to something the heroine was not. During the 18th century French rural roads were generally safer from highwaymen than those of England, an advantage credited by the historian Alexis de Tocqueville to the existence of a uniformed and disciplined mounted constabulary known as the Maréchaussée. In England this force was often confused with the regular army and as such cited as an instrument of royal tyranny not to be imitated. [17]
