My Review:
"The Maid of Sherwood Forest" by Sian Bessey is
the second book in “A McQuivey's Costume Shop Romance” series. I really loved
the first book in the series and thoroughly enjoyed this one as well! This
time-travel romance series is so fun, and I especially love that this new book
focuses on the Robin Hood legend, which is one of my favorite subjects to read
about. As a huge Robin Hood fan, I appreciated the nods to the popular film
versions of Robin Hood in today’s pop culture. It was great to see the familiar
characters of Robin’s Merry Men in this story. It is clever how the author puts
her own unique spin on the story and makes the “Maid Marian” character, Mariah
Clinton, be a strong female heroine. It was so neat to see Mariah be so good at
archery and even at one point help save Robin Hood and go toe-to-toe with him
in an archery contest! It was also cool that Mariah could take her skills in
archery and cooking from the present and use them in the past (it was
interesting to see how she adapted to the medieval period). The historical
details were well researched, and I felt like I was in the time period. The
romance is what really shines in this book. The chemistry between Maraih and
Robin is sizzling. I especially loved the ending and a certain surprise that
Robin Hood aficionados will cheer for and recognize. This was such a fun story
that fans of historical romance and Robin Hood will love!
Content: I give this book a PG rating. Some examples of the
content: a character curses, but the words are not actually written.
TW: a person thinks they are hallucinating; physical abuse;
PTSD.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book
which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest
opinion.
