Now that everyone knows who Scarlet truly is, she has to be
more careful than ever with Gisbourne still on her trail.
When he comes to her with a dangerous, but irresistible
offer, she will have to work with him in order to get what
she desires most.
LADY THIEF by A.C. Gaughen is a phenomenal follow up to the
first novel in the Scarlet series. Gaughen takes such
interesting twists with the Robin Hood tales and weaves them
into something full of excitement and romance. Just as there
was danger in the first book, this one takes on a whole new
level of danger, especially when Prince John gets involved.
I love all the secrets with the royal court, and I
definitely didn't see many of them coming.
What I love most is Robin and Scarlet. Though I wasn't a big
fan of the love triangle in Scarlet, the first book, LADY
THIEF doesn't have one. Instead, Robin and Scarlet,
particularly Robin, are both still recovering from the
ordeals they faced previously. While Robin is especially
haunted by events that happened in book 1, Scarlet is facing
one of her biggest fears during this one. Her bravery and
her penchant for never giving up will astound you the whole
way through the story. The stolen kisses she gets with Robin
are extra swoony, and I love how well they mesh as a couple,
even with everything against them.
All in all, A.C. Gaughen has written another incredible
story with LADY THIEF. The amount of heart-quickening action
combined with the heart-fluttering romance is a combination
you don't want to miss, especially if you enjoy re-tellings.
I can't wait to see what happens next with Scarlet, Robin,
and the gang.
Scarlet’s true identity has been revealed, but her future is
uncertain. Her forced marriage to Lord Gisbourne threatens
Robin and Scarlet’s love, and as the royal court descends
upon Nottingham for the appointment of a new Sheriff, the
people of Nottingham hope that Prince John will appoint
their beloved Robin Hood. But Prince John has different
plans for Nottingham that revolve around a fateful secret
from Scarlet’s past even she isn’t yet aware of. Forced to
participate at court alongside her ruthless husband, Scarlet
must bide her time and act the part of a noblewoman—a worthy
sacrifice if it means helping Robin’s cause and a chance at
a future with the man she loves. With a fresh line of
intrigue and as much passion as ever, the next chapter in
Scarlet’s tale will have readers talking once again.
