Book Synopsis
Mariah thought Robin Hood was just a legend—until time pulled her into his world and the outlaw stole her heart.
Nothing about Mariah Clinton’s passion for archery or her work as a sous-chef in contemporary London prepares her for the moment she’s pulled into another time—and another life. One minute, she’s stepping into McQuivey’s Costume Shop to rent a medieval gown. The next, she’s standing in a castle kitchen in twelfth-century Nottingham—with no idea how she got there or how to return to modern time. Forced to pose as a kitchen servant, she must draw on ingenuity and courage to survive in a world in which she shouldn’t exist. But when her skill with a bow draws the attention of outlaws in Sherwood Forest, she’s swept into a conflict that is more dangerous—and more thrilling—than she could ever have imagined.
Robin Hood has spent years outwitting the sheriff, protecting the innocent, and keeping his men one step ahead of Prince John’s reach. But when he crosses paths with a mysterious archer who shoots like no woman he’s ever met, he knows she’s hiding something. Her words, her ways, even the fire in her eyes—none of it belongs in his time. Yet the more she stands at his side, the harder it becomes to imagine Sherwood Forest without her.
Mariah is torn between a past she understands in modern-day London and an uncertain future with an outlaw who has stolen her heart. But as the sheriff’s grip tightens and betrayal looms, one truth becomes clear—some choices are impossible to undo, and love, once found, is not so easily left behind.

My Review
The Maid of Sherwood Forest is a fantastic read. This Proper Romance is book two in the A McQuivey's Costume Shop Romance series. It packs all my favorites: time travel, lively main characters, fun supporting cast, tender romance, and vivid writing that draws you right in.
The story spins a new twist on Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Mariah, a skilled modern chef, feels lonely despite her looks and talent. One moment, she's in the costume shop, and next, she's in 1193 Nottinghamshire, England. Mariah's talent for archery pays off, and the men of Sherwood Forest soon learn she is a better shot than they are, all except for the great Robin Hood. I adored his kind, humble heart. No wonder Mariah falls for him fast.
The best parts of the book for me included the tense archery matches and sharp banter among the Merry Men, and also between Marian and Little John, which had me chuckling. I also loved the touching friendship between Mariah and Ellen.
Readers will love this version of Robin Hood. With all of the action, the angst, and the sweet kisses, you are guaranteed a story that will leave you with an exciting and satisfying reading experience.
