This is my first book by Tara Grayce and I thought it was a really well written story with great world building and complex characters. This book combines the stories of Bluebeard with Robin Hood and I thought it was a very enjoyable story and loved the characters of both Robin and Duke Guy and seeing how they interacted with each other. The elements of the story drawn from Bluebeard were naturally a bit darker but the Robin Hood aspect helped lighten things up a bit to even things out overall. I am adding several more of this author's books to my TBR List including Forest of Scarlet about Robin's brother Munch as well as Basil & Meg's story Stolen Midsummer Bride.
