Summary from Goodreads
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.
After reading the summary of this book I HAD to read it. Will Scarlet a girl?! I love it when authors put women back into history or legend and Scarlet is the perfect heroine for that. It is so much fun unraveling Scarlet's history chapter by chapter. This book is more than a retelling of a legend that happened long ago - it is a story full of emotions and situations that are still relevant today. It is about hope, family, sacrifice, and trying to do good in a world filled with evil. This book was a great kick-off read for 2012!
