Search - The Last Arrow (Robin Hood, Bk 3)

I can't say enough good things about Marsha Canham. She is, without a doubt, my favorite historical romance writer. The Last Arrow is the third book in her Robin Hood trilogy, and as difficult as it is to choose a favorite, this one is probably mine (all three are fantastic). Griffyn Renaud de Verdelay is a dark and troubled hero with a past - and a couple of pretty big secrets. When he meets Brenna Wardieu, daughter of Lucien and Servanne Wardieu (the main characters from book one) the tension between them is immediate and electrifying, and while their encounters are always sexually and emotionally charged, you're never quite sure if at least one of them is going to survive fully intact.

This plot has more twists and turns than any other romance novel I've ever read, and they keep coming right up to the very satisfying end. The secondary characters are strongly written without being intrusive to the love story, the villains truly repulsive, evil people, and the main characters, while not perfect, are worth caring about and cheering for. In short - it's a keeper.

I read this book without knowing it was part of a series and enjoyed it and didn't feel like I was missing a huge story. Now that I know there are 2 earlier books, I'll go back and enjoy those as much as I did this.

Originally grabbed thinking it would be mindless, dumb braincandy, I was thrilled to discover a marvelously written, plotted and characterized novel. The love scenes were probably the most effective I've ever read.

Outstanding medieval romance based on robin-hood myth. Definitely going into the "keeper" pile. Very sensual and lots of action/adventure. Griffyn aka "prince of darkness" is an exciting hero. Also loved Robin's sister, Brenna. Lots of action and plot twists. Very steamy.

Spellbinding. Passionate.

I love this book!
