Welcome to Litsy!

Gisborne said nothing for a time, watching her. Then he took her hand in both of his and raised it to his lips, bowing his head and lingering with all the chivalrous deliberation of a knight out of legend. “Long live Robin Hood.”

Just like Gwen & Art are not in love, the new novel by #LexCroucher is fabulous and a lot of fun! Definitely don‘t read it if you are looking for the biblically accurate Robin Hood stories (which I adore!), but read it for the witty dialogue, the fast-paced plot and the building romance between Clem & Mariel 🥰.

★★★☆☆

Not great writing but pure nostalgia.

"'What a paragon of virtue you are, Gisburne,' laughed the Sheriff. 'I'm really most impressed. If she'd tried to bewitch me, I think I'd have been inclined to let her.' Gisburne reddened but kept silent." (page 71)

As I read this, I could see and hear Nickolas Grace and Robert Addie in the television series so vividly in my mind.

I‘ve decided to read Ivanhoe since Jonathon Darcy is reading it at Juliet Tilney‘s suggestion and love of all things Sir Walter Scott in The Perils of Lady Catherine De Bourgh
