BOOKANISTAS REVIEW: LADY THIEF (SCARLET #2) by A. C. Gaughen










Lady Thief is finally here!! I've been waiting months to share this review with you!

So... in a very un-Shari-like move the other day I organized my Kindle. Did you know you can do that? Well, you can. I went through ALL my books and put them in categories by genre. Or in the case of LADY THEIF and SCARLET I created a special folder named FAVORITES. Because they are.


Here's what Goodreads has to say:

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.



Let's talk about Lord Gisbourne. Being a true Robin Hood fan I've seen the BBC TV series so I know what he looks like. He looks like him.  ---->
And if you're like me, and you've seen every episode, then you know that Gisbourne is very evil and mean and intense. But here's the thing. Gaughen's version of Lord Gisbourne is far more evil and hate-able than you can ever imagine, and yet... you just might find yourself strangely drawn to him as well. The relationship between Scarlet and Gisbourne alone should get you to read this book. It nearly took my breath away.

But then there's Robin. And John Little. And don't forget about Much.

LADY THIEF goes beyond what a sequel should be. The adventure and danger is amplified allowing the opportunity for each and every character to grow and exceed our expectations.

The worst part of this series is that I just don't think I can wait for book 3.

Everyone should read this book. No, seriously. EVERYONE.
