Story
Victorian Era England. Stetson revels in being unconventional. So when society shies away from her independent nature, the bold woman creates an imaginary boss and opens her own detective agency. And her keen observational skills, convincing disguises, and Holmesian methods quickly bring in a string of tough-to-crack cases. Struggling to squeeze a personal life in around a series of hazardous investigations, Stetson worries she'll never find a woman of like-passions. But with her heart set on true love despite the risk, she carries on hunting for the perfect relationship.

Hannah Martin has an unusual job: she's a professional cuddler. While she has a big heart for her clients, she hasn't found someone special to snuggle up to in her personal life. Winter Sullivan isn't looking for love. She's an aloof workaholic who's built walls of ice around herself.

When Winter's estranged father dies, he leaves her one last surprise: she and Hannah, a perfect stranger, will inherit a building together.

Summary
Winner of Rainbow Awards Best Historical Lesbian Romance, 2018-2019!
What if Robin Hood was real, only the heroic outlaw had been a woman?
Robyn lost everything: her home, her family, and her freedom. Branded as an outlaw by the Sheriff, she reinvents herself by joining Little John and his band in the guise of a boy, soon becoming their leader. But she misses the woman she loves, her best friend Marian.
Marian is distraught over the news concerning Robyn, and wishes to leave court for Nottingham to find her. Queen Eleanor sends her back as a spy to check up on Prince John, Sir Guy, and the greedy sheriff, while she tries to raise money for King Richard’s ransom. Soon Marian forges an alliance with Robyn to foil a traitorous plot, discovering her feelings run much deeper than friendship.
Can Robyn win Marian’s love, help the poor of Nottingham, save the king, and defeat the sheriff, or will his merciless sword strike her down?
From award-winning and best-selling author, Edale Lane

My favorite „Robyn Hood“ Story!
The narration is a treat!
I love when a story grabs me and the story of Robyn Hood was always one of my favorites as a kid.
Robyn Hood as a woman is all the more a treat for lesbian fiction lovers.
It's as exciting as you'd expect from a Robyn Hood story with Lady Marian and all of King Richard's faithful who join Marian and Robyn in their fight for his release.
However, the narration really made the whole thing a treat.
Every mood, every emotion was rendered really beautifully.
The tenderness that Robyn and Marian feel for each other as well.
This book does not thrive on detailed love scenes, but on the deep and true love between these two lovers.
I was rooting for them, even though i knew somehow how it's going to turn out. Nevertheless, it grabbed me.
The political intrigues were interesting and the resolution at the end of Robyn and Marian's situation made my romantic heart very happy!

A wonderful listen!
Not my usual genre but I am so glad I received a copy of this wonderful audiobook. It was an absorbing and entertaining listen from start to finish. I loved the characters and the gentle humour. I even loved the history lesson. Kept me hooked from start to finish and all beautifully narrated by Jennifer Lewis. The many voices she used for the characters is amazing. For those who like heat in their Sapphic fiction, please note that this story is entirely fade to black which also suited me perfectly.

A pleasing twist on a well know tale!
I really enjoyed “Heart of Sherwood”. This is a very straightforward telling of the Robin Hood legend, except Lane changes Robin Hood’s gender. This added greatly to the story and I loved the fact that Maid Marian became a strong character in her own right. Overall, this book is more historical/political than romance. I found all the historical facts fascinating, despite the sprinkling of anachronisms throughout. The writing is very good but overly detailed in places. I thought the romance between Robyn and Marian was a bit rushed but loved the LGBTQI representation. “Heart of Sherwood” is well worth a listen and I leaned a lot about the time off King Richard. Jennifer Lewis does a great job with the narration despite the odd pronunciation here and there!

3.5 - an enjoyable sapphic retelling of Robinhood
I enjoyed this one - it was sweet and gratified my desire to see all my childhood fairytales in a queer light. The writing was solid and adhered well to the atmosphere and time period. Where the story fell short for me was in the insane excess of detail that served to detrimentally lengthen the entire story (which wasn't quite deep enough to merit such length).
Still, a fun and well-narrated listen that I would absolutely recommend for those who like their queer fairytale twists and HEAs ❤️

Great retelling of the classic
I absolutely loved this retelling of the classic with a woman as the main character. The intricacies of the relationships and scenes really build the story in your mind. The author does a great job describing Sherwood and all of the characters we love in Robin Hood.
The voices the narrator provides for the characters are really great and made the story extra engaging. I will be looking for more stories by both.

Excellent tale and narration - bullseye!
Edale Lane brilliantly reimagines the classic Robin Hood tale. The author provides characters with more depth and insights than usual, including bringing Eleanor of Aquitaine into the storyline, as well as evoking richness in the descriptions of the places and the communities.
Jennifer Lewis infuses the characters with warmth, humor, evil, honor, and other qualities throughout the pitch-perfect performance.
This was the first story I have enjoyed from either artist, and I look forward to more!
