    About this audiobook

    He waylays her carriage and runs off with her property. Can she keep him from stealing her heart as well? By day, Reginald Sinclair works in the post office, but by night, he is the increasingly infamous Paladin, the gallant highwayman making young women swoon all over Somerset. With a vendetta against the wealthy that spans both past and present, Reggie's escapades allow him to take justice into his own hands while helping his uncle avoid insolvency. Joanna Carmichael's father has finally chosen her a husband. While she is not thrilled with her father's selection, Joanna understands it as a business arrangement, something which suits her practicality perfectly. Her father hopes her good sense will exercise a beneficial effect upon her younger sister, Frances, who is regrettably prone to romantics. Frances's preoccupation with reports of the Paladin threaten to overshadow Joanna's coolheaded example, but Joanna is determined to show her sister how foolish and unworthy of admiration the outlaw is. During their encounter, though, the maddening highwayman takes an item of Joanna's—then has the audacity to send her a letter with instructions on how to recover it, beginning a battle of wills that brings Reggie within reach of the people responsible for his family's ruin and forces Joanna to reconsider the desirability of her business arrangement.

      Martha Keyes is a favorite author of mine! I'm slowly working my way through all of her audiobooks.

      This is the 5th book in the Sons of Somerset and series. Each book is written by a different author and have stand alone stories that can be read in any order. I have actually only read 2 of the 5. There has been a common cricket match st the beginning, but other than that and the fact both contain letters, I haven't found a connection between the 2 that would require having read either of them to understand the other.

      The Highwayman's Letter is a tale of Reggie and Joanna. They are separated by class and hidden identity. The story is woven with threads of humor and a bit of mystery. I really enjoyed thr whole thing! Well, maybe except for the sister, Francis. I wouldn't have minded boxing her ears occasionally. ?

      I listened to the audiobook and thought that the narrator did an excellent job. She has distinct voices for all of the characters that really helped bring them to life for me.

      As always, I love when the author's notes are included in the audiobook!
