About this listen
Peregrine Hind, known to all as the bloodiest highwayman ever to bedevil the road, seeks only one thing—revenge against the Dartham family.
And so when a robbery sends the second Dartham son and notorious rakehell Alexander Dartham tumbling to Peregrine’s feet, it seems like fate has given Peregrine his vengeance at last.
Except then Alexander offers him a desperate bargain: to kidnap him instead, so Peregrine can harvest a generous ransom from Alexander’s family first. Peregrine agrees, but he’s in no way prepared for a captive like Alexander, who insists only on the softest beds and the finest wines … and who enjoys being tied up a little too much…

The Shane East & James Joseph love story we craved
If you are narrator led, like myself, then you have probably been dying for this duo to get together in the same book. Shane East and James Joseph are two of the leading voices in romancelandia for a reason and finally we get to hear them together in this delightful historical MM romance.
This is a story from Sierra Simone's Far Hope series and it is really amazing how even though it is just over four hours so relatively short, she manages to pack in this really sweet and spicy little tale of two kindred souls who find their way to each other despite the numerous barriers in their way. In the early 1700s, the disillusioned ex-solider turned highwayman, Peregrine Hind cares for nothing except revenge on the Dartham family. However, his plans are put in disarray when he captures the Duke's younger brother, the notorious and charming rogue Alexander. Despite a mutual intense attraction, Peregrine tries to resist the pull of the flirtatious Alexander who in turn seems to enjoy being tied up a little too much ;) There is plenty of spice and heat in this one for those of you who enjoy that but it is balanced by a heartfelt love story of two men struggling with their own personal demons and unexpectedly finding their desire and peace in each other in a world set against them. I loved it!
This book is in dual narration and while that might remove some of the intense immersive feel that duet can bring, it really doesn't matter in this one when you have two skilled narrators like these. Shane East takes on the role of the gruff and broken Peregrine and plays the tormented highway man to perfection and this is balanced beautiful with James Joseph's light and incorrigible performance of Alexander who I defy doesn't wring out a smile to everyone who listens. Such is the power of these two together, who are able to match each other scarily well. Its a lovely escapism listen, so grab your headphones and prepared to be transported to the 18th Century English Countryside and this wonderful little story.
I need the rest of this series like, right now....good thing they are all on Audible.

Stand and Delivered ? not really
IMO the narrators should be transposed: James Joseph has a strong "country" accent for gentry "Sandy", and Shane East sounds too refined for an uneducated highwayman.
The tale is very much as you would expect from the blurb, with some laughs, and some poor research ie in 1710 "a few shillings" would be a whole year's salary for a maid, not a tip for the postman. One characteristic of moors is lack of forrests, so quite how a highwayman and his band hid in the trees to hold up the carriage sounds odd. All churches have a set layout, so for Sandy to not be able to find his way out is illogical. The Americanisms were expected as the author is American, but are irksome. No effort at historical vernacular was attempted.
Have had several books by this author, the best of which is the excellent: Priest, which is recommended. Over all this was just very average.
IT WAS OK
For a real rip-roaring historical MM escapade I recommend 1. Any Old Diamonds by K J Charles, and 2. The Guilded Scarab by Anna Butler, my reviews of both on are Audible.
