Many readers know the tale of Robin Hood, but they will be swept away by this new version full of action, secrets, and romance.
Posing as one of Robin Hood’s thieves to avoid the wrath of the evil Thief Taker Lord Gisbourne, Scarlet has kept her identity secret from all of Nottinghamshire. Only the Hood and his band know the truth: the agile thief posing as a whip of a boy is actually a fearless young woman with a secret past. Helping the people of Nottingham outwit the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham could cost Scarlet her life as Gisbourne closes in.
It’s only her fierce loyalty to Robin—whose quick smiles and sharp temper have the rare power to unsettle her—that keeps Scarlet going and makes this fight worth dying for.

When I was younger I loved Robin Hood and this book just made me love it even more. Scarlet the main character is one of the sassiest characters I have ever known. Her sass is what makes the book one of the funniest books I have read. Scarlet is in the band with Robin, Much, and John. From just reading the blurb, you can figure out that two guys are going to fight for her heart.
Robin, to be frank, is a jerk. He could've been nicer, but I guess the author did a good job of making people hate him, until he wins everyone's heart in the end. His powerful demeanor that can make anyone scared or obedient is an amazing trait that is hilarious when he uses it on Scarlet. When he does it usually is followed by a sassy remark and them trying to out-glare each other.
John is a ladies man, from the description of the book. He is actually a pretty sweet guy. He fought his hardest for Scarlet's love, and that's whats important.
As I read on, I automatically knew that Much was going to be an important character. Neglected because of his bad arm, it was quite obvious that he would eventually do something heroic. And he did. Thank you Much!
Just watch our for Gisbourne :)
If you love Robin Hood, this book will just increase your love. Scarlet's sass will keep you laughing as you read on the book. There are many plot twists that you wouldn't ever expect (or at least I didn't) and once you start, you can't put it down! It has suspense, romance, plot twists, everything for a good book!
My rating, four out of five stars.
