This book was from one of my favorite genres to read. It starts off with the Bandit and Crispin fighting after the Bandit is caught red-handed with his hands on a treasure being transported to Derbyshire and the Sheriff, and for once Crispin has the upper hand and is about to deliver the killing blow. In comes Sir Ethan, back from the crusades, stepping in just in time to save the Bandit. Later in the woods, the Bandit reveals that she is Lady Aubrey. From the get-go, Ethan seems to want the girl but his land is more important to him. Especially when he finds out that his lands have been given to the one man he hates above all, Sir Crispin.We follow this group of embattled knights and lady, squires, commoners, and even a prince as deals are made, alliances forged, and folks are literally stabbed in the back.  The Sheriff is a truly creepy and evil man that seems to want Sir Crispin for his own pleasure, and a plot is a foot to kill the king when he returns from the crusades.The story had a very `Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves' to it, but told the story in an engaging way that it felt like a whole new story with only some similarities. Those I wanted to fall in love, did, and those who I wanted to fall on a sword complied.  In the end, I left the story satisfied. The bonus was the excerpt from the next book, which I can't wait to read.  All in all, I was satisfied and enjoyed the story.readmyotherwrite.wordpress.com
