Although Robin Hood is the focus of her daydreams and the most intense crush of her life, Marian never believed she'd meet him. Yet, when she and her friend, Orlando, are swept back in time by an overheard spell, where do they land but ancient England in the time of King John, when the wily Sherriff, Sir Guy of Gisborne, and, of course, Robin Hood are alive. Things are not exactly like Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner, Michael Praed, Jason Connery, or Jonas Armstrong have portrayed. For one thing, the "real" Marian is Robin's horse, not the fair maid in the midst of a love triangle with Guy and Robin.

That would be Elaine, who this Marian is a dead ringer for, and who is presumed dead, thus losing Guy the dowry money he had hoped to gain by marrying her. Having Marian fall into their laps suits both his and the Sherriff's plans. Not only will they get the money, but they can possibly, by claiming they found Elaine's long lost twin, keep John from being too irate over Elaine's death. Of course, Marian is not happy with that plan and just hopes Robin will show up and rescue her. From there on, things get more complicated, and she finds herself married, but not to Guy.

Instead, she's forced to wed Roland, the lord of Huntingdon. Little does she know there's much more to her new husband than there seems to be. Being taken back in time is really the least startling thing, when all is said and done.

If, like me, you have had a long standing love affair with the idea of Robin, whether he's Errol, Michael, either Connery, Jonas, or a literary character, you will have to read this story, as will any fan of time travel romance. Marian proves to be just as feisty as the best versions of her namesake. She's no diminutive Marian, Madam Librarian, but a lady who can handle herself in any era. Her story shines against a rich, vivid background of the long ago, far away world that his fascinating whether it is the canvas to tell Robin's story or the verified factual events of the era. This proves that a book can be both fun and have a touch of an epic sweep, all at once.

Synopsis
My name is Sarah Dearly, and I've got major problems. Last month, I was turned into a vampire by the world's worst blind date. Then I may have, totally by accident, started a war between the mostly peaceful bloodsuckers and a bunch of sociopathic vamp hunters who have nicknamed me the Slayer of Slayers. Now I'm being used as bait to draw out the hunters' bad-ass leader, while my gorgeous 600-year-old boyfriend Thierry seems to be blowing me off, and my sizzle-hot, fanged friend Quinn is trying to turn my self-defense lessons into make-out sessions. So you know what? I'm done. I've had it. There comes a time when a vamp has to just suck it up and go after what she wants. And as soon as I figure out what that is, that's exactly what I'll do...
