This review is from: The Highwayman's Daughter (Legendary Lovers) (Mass Market Paperback)

Don't let my four star rating keep you from reading this book. I only give five stars to my all time favorite books. What the book is about: Lizzie Tynsdale has always been a practical woman, more interested in running the inn she'd inherited then in romance. That is until a mysterious stranger appears at the inn one stormy night. He says his name is John Gideon, but Lizzie can't help, but have her doubts. Not long after his arrival the redcoats were ordered to take John away on the charge of impersonating a nobleman. Despite everything, Lizzie believes John is innocent. When John escapes the prison, he runs to the inn, only planning to get his stuff and flee England. But fate had other plans. Despite herself Lizzie hides John, convincing herself she doesn't want to see the redcoats win, again. They were the cause of her parents untimely deaths. As time rushes by Lizzie finds herself understanding why her mother had risked her life for her father.

This is one of the most original stories I've ever read. Ghost parents, angry redcoats, sweet romance, what more could you want in a book? I loved how the author gave Oliver and Bess personalities of their own. Oliver's grumpiness and Bess's meddling will make you laugh all through the book and the end will bring a smile to your face.
