Review: On of my favorites for 2011

I would like to start by saying I met Merry on Twitter and became good friends with her before this book was published. I'm not typically a romance reader, so the reason I picked it up in the first place was because Merry is awesome (she's a lot of fun to talk to and her blog is very informative. Her Medieval Monday posts make me actually like history).Robin Hood is my absolute favorite Disney cartoon, so The Loyal Heart is right up my alley. It is based off the Robin Hood legend, but gives it a much more realistic (and interesting) spin. I found myself falling in love with the guy most people normally hate (Crispin, the deputy for the Sheriff) and hating Ethan (the one who plays the part of Robin Hood). The story is told beautifully and had me hooked from the start. I actually stopped reading a sci-fi book (my usual fare) after I read the first page of this one because I wanted to know what happened next. If all romance writers wrote like Merry, I think I would read more of it.
