The two fanfics are not bad at all, especially the one happening during the main arc and you pointed me to those!

He didn’t even meet the girl until she was locked in her room by her father, across the lane from him. Maria McCann's début novel is the story of Jacob Cullen, one of three brothers once of some substance but now reduced to serving in a minor aristocratic household.There was one point when I had a WTF moment and that’s when Jacob met up again with Zeb; I didn’t see the point of this – I didn’t understand how Zeb had the knowledge he had, why he didn’t use it and what the meeting was set up to do – it seemed rather pointless. violence comes all too easily to him; he is a man consumed by wrath, always ready when opportunity arises to indulge in that vice. Perhaps because it contains more of Jacob's friend and subsequent lover Ferris, or perhaps because it contains a little more of the author herself, there is one set piece that is different.

I can’t believe that Ms McCann meant him to be anything else, and as far as I am concerned she suceeded admirably.I'm rarely absorbed so much by a book - I think it actually sped up my metabolism, so, uh, yeah - and I was definitely overstimulated by this one.
