What a fun random find on the libby app. 
This was a 5 hour audiobook that I randomly chose because it was available now. I had no idea this was part of a larger series of little stories and I will absolutely be reading this authors other books. 
I loved this retelling, for being a 200 range book (222 pages) it isn't classified as a novella but it is a shorter read. Even with it being smaller the characters and plot were well developed and I was very much invested in the story. 
This is a Robinhood retelling where Robin is a 29 year old 6ft tall woman with a sassy attitude.
She devises a plan to marry the Duke (Guy) and save the kingdom by stealing riches right under his nose as his wife. Plans start to change though as secrets are discovered and the Duke may be hiding more than Robin originally thought. 
This book is fantasy/fae elements as well. It was just a good fun lighthearted read. 
I love that it was YA friendly with NO SPICE. 
The romance was cute and well done, the main character had good development, and the plot was captivating. 
If you are looking for a shorter read I would highly suggest this cute little standalone romance.
