4.5/5

When Clem is kidnapped by Captain Mariel and her crew of Merry Men, she assumes it's because reputation as a healer who is experimenting with more effective treatments, instead it's to make sure her guardian understands that consequences of healing anyone associated with the Sheriff of Nottingham.

I thought this was a fun re-imagining of Robin Hood focused on his granddaughter.

And now, dear friend, we also must part, for our merry journeyings have ended, and here, at the grave of Robin Hood, we turn, each going his own way.

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.
