This was a romance with a difference. Usually I get lost in the century in which the book was set but maybe because of the language or not enough description it took me a while to really feel like I was in 1191.  However, once I was able to picture the scenes, I guess after Merry became very descriptive, I was there in the forest or wherever the story was unfolding.The hero was a bit hard to take, being beaten up as he was by the sheriff, but I guess it balanced out because the heroine was such a Robin Hood-like person. It was a bit disquieting that she spent all her years loving Ethan who turned out to be such a selfish rogue. He sure looks like some of the men we know. In retrospect the hero turned out to be the heroine for me!Over all it was a good read and I have no desire to rewrite it.  Some of the twists & turns took me by surprise and kept my interest to the end.J. E. Powell, Author
