But when she robs Collin Goodrich, her red hair betrays her true identity.

well written and good story.

well narrated and well written. but i found the violence to be more graphic than i like. i found myself skipping parts. but that tells how well written the story is.

need both male and female voices

I really liked it but it would be so much better if they had a male voice for the man's parts. its hard to imagine when the man is telling his thoughts while it comes from a lady's voice

Great story

The author and narrator are fantastic! I would highly recommend this series. I am looking forward to the next book in this series!

A fantastic story!

This is a great story! Very well written, enjoyable, adventurous, clean! I was able to listen to this story with my daughter who is 10. It is a female Robin Hood type story that is so fun to listen to. The plot had many unexpected twist and turns with a ending that was so beautiful and worth waiting for!

My only negative would be that the book is not read with an accent that is fitting to the time and location.
The narrator does a nice job, has a pleasant voice, but it is sometimes hard to realize when she has switched from one main character to the other.

Loved The Characters! This is a great read, lots of noble and honorable characters!

Great story!

I really enjoyed this story! I know on audible it says that it's a children's book (????), but it's a clean romance. It had parallels to what Christ did for us. The woman who read the story read it in such a way that it sounded like a children's story, but there was a lot of kissing and shooting of arrows (and description of killing) for it to be a book for the age that her voice seemed to imply. Don't get the wrong idea, it was a perfectly clean story, and not bad at all, just not suited for 7 year olds or something.

loved it

A great Robinhood story with a good message.
wonderful character development. Fun banter and a good solid ending.

Solid, Enjoyable, Comforting

I enjoyed this story. It had its own unique twist and turns. I considered it worth the time and money. This was my first book with Jody Hedlund, and I intend to listen to others.
