Gregori Romanovin, Oxenburg's warrior prince, is escorting his grandmother to a ball deep in the Scottish Highlands when he and his entourage are robbed at sword point by a group of ruffians. Led by a man dubbed the Scottish Robin Hood, battle-savvy Gregori senses that something's amiss - that 'he' is really a 'she'.
Lady Murian is a young, beautiful widow seeking revenge against the powerful earl who murdered her husband and stole his birthright. Living in the woods, she and her banished band of men rob wealthy nobles visiting the evil earl.
But when Murian ambushes the Prince's golden coach, she gets far more than she bargained for. And she's left fearing that he is the real thief...of her heart.
My thoughts:
I have never read one of XoXos free reads, and now I did, and was all omg why did I not do this before! Arghhh, the books I have missed that have been free!
I have read, like 2 novellas in this series, but I do think this is the first full-length book. And yes it's part of a series, and no I did not read in order. But this is historical romance, a man meets a woman, they fall in love, in lust and live happily ever after. I do not need to see his brother fall in love to follow along with that. Which means, yes it works as a stand-alone, never read a HR that did not.
Murian is a widow after an ass of a Lord killed her husband and stole her castle. Now she robs people.
Max is a general and prince of his country, and he is bringing his grandma to the ass of a lord for some reason he does not understand.
They fall in love, they do it, there is drama with the ass of a lord, and they live happily ever after.
Conclusion:
The next book sounds fun too.

Good.

XOXO free read
I'd love to read this fun, light hearted book.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun for sure :) Still free on XoXo ;)
DeleteThat's great when a book can be read as a standalone. These days almost everything is part of a series that need to be read in order.
ReplyDeleteSo true, I am not a fan of it really
Delete*waves wildly*
ReplyDeleteHiiii!
DeleteHow do they meet? Curious about this one now!
ReplyDeleteShe robs him
DeleteSounds like a winner of a historical romance to me!
ReplyDeleteYay!! Glad you were able to enjoy it via XOXO <333
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteLOL! Well that sums it up. I've never read one of their free reads either even though I subscribe to their newsletter for ebook deals. I'll have to keep an eye out for the next one.
ReplyDeleteI think I have to check back once a week to see what is new. And only read what I reeeeally want to try
DeleteThis looks good and something I would enjoy. I haven't used their free books before b/c I hate reading on my comp. Wish I could download it to my ebook reader.
ReplyDeleteI know! That is mostly why I have not tried it before, but I put a short cut on my tablet, and they do have so that when you come back it remembers where you ended it. And I do not have eink on my reader either so *shrug*
DeleteXOXO Free reads are awesome! It's great that they do the free time longer now, before you only have 24 hours! There were a couple of times that I had to wake up super early just to catch the freebie and finish on time
ReplyDeleteWhat? That was short! Sure I could have made it, but it would have had to be a weekend
DeleteNot really my type of book, but can't go wrong with a free read! I just had to look up XOXO Free Reads now!

ReplyDeleteI get why they are only available on the page but stil
DeleteLOL, your recap sentence at the end cracked me up!
ReplyDelete;)
Deleteoh I LOVED this book!!! Karen Hawkins has done great with these prince brothers. Hope you read the other books and love them like this one. Wasn't the humor great? I loved the banter these two have. Cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteThey are fun :D I so wish I had gone for that last one on NG, sounded superfun
DeleteHaha - the lord is an ass.
ReplyDeleteSuch an ass
DeleteI like the concept. Horrible brigand = Lady in Hiding. Although I'd like the concept better if she was just a badass without feeling the need for disguise. 8D
ReplyDeleteLOL, that would be fun, but now Ass Lord does not know it is her and he would really want her head on a platter if
DeleteOh sounds fun, love the idea of a lady robber!
ReplyDeleteMe too :)
DeleteWell it's not really one of those freebies, it is free for a month on the publisher's page and only there
ReplyDeleteLove your description :)
ReplyDeleteBahaha - funny review
