I trusted them. I loved them. And they broke me.
I thought I was part of their world. That I belonged with them—the outlaws who stole my heart and taught me to fight for my own freedom. But when I learned the truth, I ran.
And found myself captured again.
Guy Gisbourne is everything Rob and his crew aren't. Polished. Respected. Dangerous in a way that doesn't look like danger—until it's too late. He says he's saving me, but his version of "protection" feels a lot like a prison. He's got a plan for me, a story he's spinning where I'm the lost, fragile girl in need of rescuing.
I've played the damsel before. I'm not playing it again.
Breaking free means going back to the last place I ever wanted to see. It means facing the men who betrayed me, trusting the ones who never stopped fighting for me, and uncovering secrets that could bring the whole town crashing down.
Guy thinks he can control me. The four shifters believe they can win me back. The sheriff thinks he can hunt me down.
They all forgot one thing.
I make my own fate. And this time, I'm stealing the whole damn kingdom.

This series is way under hyped because it is genuinely SO GOOD!!! Book 2 ended on a cliffhanger and I cannot wait to go straight into book 3. )

Jade Evans' Princess of Thieves is the second book in the Shifters of Sherwood series. The story started slowly, and in the beginning, I found myself aggravated with Maren and some of her decisions. Things pick up after she connects with the guys again. I love that she stood up for herself, and the guys realize they have some groveling to do. Lj was the most surprising in how protective he was of her, even against the guys. Eventually, things got really interesting with the peek into Rob's past...

This series has a lot of promise if it could be reworked. Sometimes it feels like characters talking about things with 0 context or dont even mesh with whats going on and hard to keep up. Spoiler... Also with her ability, it doesnt make sense at all since the 1st thing Rob noticed on her in the 1st was an old scar but now she can heal even tho shes had the ability the whole time? The bruises faded away, why wouldn't the scar.🤔 I do like the idea of the story but there's gaps and plot holes and...

The twist, the plot, the cliffhangers and scenes are so good!!! Some books you can kind of tell where they go and there aren’t many surprises but this is not that! She’s trying to catch on and I bet she does quick in the next one! This is an amazing series! )

This story picks up right where the first book left off. Hurt and betrayed, Maren runs from the boys right into the arms of Guy Gisburne. She quickly finds herself trapped in an \"engagement\" to a man she barely knows. The one thing she is sure of- he seeks a permanent end to the four men she can't force out of her heart. Can she save them, even if she can't forgive them? Will she ever be free? This book ends on yet another cliffhanger. I personally wanted more character development from...
