Who says Chivalry is dead?Robin King lives up to the legendary name of Robin Hood more than he should—a bigshot billionaire and successor of King enterprises, a Prince of Mischief and a rogue who steals hearts … and maybe even a few kisses. He never thought he’d follow the storyline so closely, until the day he gets in trouble with the law and pays the price—all for protecting his younger … price—all for protecting his younger sister Scarlett.
Taken in by an Outlaw
Marian is a hard-hitting reporter … or would be if the New England Chronicle would stop assigning her puff pieces. Now she has the chance to prove herself, but it could prove her undoing—since the story of a lifetime might just be Robin King, a ruthless scoundrel, who she swore would never break her heart again.
Making New England Olde again
Together, they must overcome their differences to save their hometown from thieves and corruption. And they’d better do it before someone gets killed. As danger lurks closer, legend becomes life, and Robin’s feelings for Marian deepen as he struggles with sharing the secrets that could clear his name and ruin his sister.

A good clean modern day Robin Hood romance with a little twist. I enjoyed it.
I loved this book from beginning to end. So much fun, and Tuck is one of my new favorite side characters ever.
All is not well in Merry New England. Robin has taken the fall for embezzlement to protect someone he loves. He does his time for four years in prison until his Grandfather’s retirement celebration gives him an early release.
He comes home to try to figure out how to win back the trust of his home town and the regard of the fair Maid Marian. He has his work cut out for him. I enjoyed reading about him and his escapades. He has a few loyal friends and they work to uncover who the bad guy really is.
Stephanie Fowers did a great job at surprising me with some of the characters. They did things that I was not expecting. She had written an adventure with suspense and romance. I loved the parallels with this contemporary story to the original tales of Robin Hood.
This book is clean with non-graphic violence and kissing.

There were so many things I loved about this book. First, the Robin Hood references all throughout, and I mean references that reminded me of the Disney cartoon Robin Hood. So many little things as well as the obvious bigger things like names and places. It made me happy. And, I think I’ve had the Robin Hood and Little John song running on a constant loop in my head since I started this book. You know the one? Ooo Da Lolly, Ooo Da Lolly, Golly What a Day!
But obviously, this book wasn’t like the cartoon, it was a grown up, real life version, full of treachery, deceit, lies, jealousy, danger and my favorite- love. Robin is a literal hero. Honestly, you probably couldn’t dream up a better man. Chivalry is alive and well in this book. I loved that! The intensity grew throughout the whole story as the mystery deepened. The ending was climactic and the epilogue was the perfect bow to tie off my present.
This book is a long one. It’s almost double the size of normal books so know that going in. Things don’t progress super quickly plot wise, but I never felt bored or distracted. It was like a modern day Robin Hood soap opera saga and it was fun!

This was a fun quick read that kept me laughing. Tuck stole the show and Robin stole my heart. I love Marian and how she was no chump. She definitely fits the role of Maid Marian. I love the author’s remake of the old tale and how she has characters that fit each of the originals. Robin is true blue and loves his family. He takes the role of Robin Hood and twist it to his own means. A lot of characters to keep track of and plenty to enjoy as Tuck weaves his way through the story and in and out of every scenario. Controlled chaos makes this a fun read with suspense and characters that have you all twisted up in the story and invested in the outcome. I loved this new to me author and plan on enjoying more of her fun clean reads.
Scapegoat
Thrown under the bus. Despised. Guilty by association. Judged by appearance. Robin’s sister committed a crime. Robin took the blame and did the time in her place. Nobody must ever know. He did it to protect her and to allow her a chance at happiness. It all happened on her wedding day. Now everyone hates Robin but he needs to keep playing the part or his sister could still go to prison. Cut off from everyone and a social pariah in the eyes of society, how long can Robin live like this?
This story, loosely based on Robin Hood, is so original and I found it absolutely riveting. Definitely one of the author’s best works to date. Highly recommended.
