About the Book
Mariah thought Robin Hood was just a legend—until time pulled her into his world and the outlaw stole her heart.
Nothing about Mariah Clinton’s passion for archery or her work as a sous-chef in contemporary London prepares her for the moment she’s pulled into another time—and another life. One minute, she’s stepping into McQuivey’s Costume Shop to rent a medieval gown. The next, she’s standing in a castle kitchen in twelfth-century Nottingham—with no idea how she got there or how to return to modern time. Forced to pose as a kitchen servant, she must draw on ingenuity and courage to survive in a world in which she shouldn’t exist. But when her skill with a bow draws the attention of outlaws in Sherwood Forest, she’s swept into a conflict that is more dangerous—and more thrilling—than she could ever have imagined.
Robin Hood has spent years outwitting the sheriff, protecting the innocent, and keeping his men one step ahead of Prince John’s reach. But when he crosses paths with a mysterious archer who shoots like no woman he’s ever met, he knows she’s hiding something. Her words, her ways, even the fire in her eyes—none of it belongs in his time. Yet the more she stands at his side, the harder it becomes to imagine Sherwood Forest without her.
Mariah is torn between a past she understands in modern-day London and an uncertain future with an outlaw who has stolen her heart. But as the sheriff’s grip tightens and betrayal looms, one truth becomes clear—some choices are impossible to undo, and love, once found, is not so easily left behind. (Goodreads)
My Thoughts
This story is such a unique twist on the life of Marian (Mariah) and how she crosses paths with Robin Hood. The author does a great job at making it relatively believable. I haven't watched or read many retellings of Robin Hood so I think I was a little bit at a disadvantage to some of the quips and comments throughout the book. That being said, this book really is quite an adventure that goes from the kitchen at the castle to Sherwood Forest. I loved the archery aspect (obviously necessary) and I thought Robin Hood's character was well written. It made me wish I was right there with them in the forest. The last few chapters held a lot and I wish that it was a tad longer. But there is a fun surprise at the end for us time travel fans! I am eager to read the next book in this series.
Four Stars.
