Book Summary
Award-winning Broadway actress Leighanne Webster has it all until an on-stage panic attack brings her career crashing to the ground. Then her sister throws her a lifeline: Come home and help produce the annual Robin Hood Festival play. Returning to England could be the salve Leighanne needs to heal her bruised feelings, except for the fact that ex-fiance, Jamison Blake, is the play’s director. But she’s a professional, able to do the job without letting old relationships get in the way. Then why does she find it so hard to focus on her work? Five years ago, Jamison Blake broke off his engagement to Leighanne, so she could travel to New York and become the brilliant, sought-after actress she deserved to be. But he didn’t count on his heart’s refusal to stop loving her, and life has been empty since she left. Her return to Nottingham is temporary, and she is still angry about their breakup, avoiding him at all cost during rehearsals. Can he convince her to give their relationship another try despite careers that span an ocean, or will he have to let her go again? This time for good? Can two people entangled in their own hurts and misconceptions, find their way clear to discover God’s plan for their lives-plans that may include a future together?

Book Review by Bree Herron
The show must go on, and for Leighanne that means facing her past and broken heart. And in a remake of Robin Hood, Leighanne will get more than she is asking for. A story that takes you back to the merry men and times of chivalry.
How would you handle having your love (past and present) conduct your play? How would you feel if you had broken down during a major time in your career and running led you right back to a spot you ran from before? I felt these were the questions that weighed on me during the read. Each page held a glimmer of an answer. Leighanne, certainly handled these questions of life, faith and love better than most of us would.
The entire character cast was beautiful. I felt myself drawn to them, Linda creates characters for readers to bond to. I bonded quickly with Leighanne, and this is the masterful skill that Linda gives her readers. Linda created a story that took you to the forest, back in time and made this reader believe in the fantasy of love conquering all.
