This inexpensive paperback is far superior: a great introduction to the ballad and to the power of illustration. I must admit I was worried at first when she said her feelings for her boss were complicated and opaque. I will definitely be going on with the rest of the series, and there's a pretty good chance I won't take a break until I finished. All the pent up anger and his promise to the dying Dougan to wreak revenge on those responsible are the things that drove him to build his feared criminal empire.

Modern styling has been applied but spellings and punctuation generally left as in the original volume for authenticity.For a brief moment in time, Farah Leigh and Dougan were each other’s whole world, both orphaned at a young age and left to grow up in a place where nothing could be taken for granted but their young love for one another. On the heels of my recent renewed interest in historical romances, I came across the works of Kerrigan Byrne by sheer chance, but from the very first page, I knew this would mark the beginning of a lifelong addiction to her every word. Unfortunately, it was a wee bit inappropriate considering the darkness of those initial minutes, I just couldn't help myself.

I'm definitely going to be checking out more of this author's stuff in the future, including the rest of this Victorian Rebels series. The heroine had many moments where she was so loveable but there were also moments where she was somewhat irrational.It is an incredible injustice that he never received the Caldecott Award for his work in children's illustration. With a beautifully developed cast of secondary characters to only make this story even more compelling, and a chilling thread of danger and suspense woven throughout it, Kerrigan Byrne delivers a breathtaking tale of second chances and of love everlasting. Even Bess is not safe with them around and we feel her helplessness, despair and sorrow, ultimately ending in sacrifice.
