About this ebook

Desperate for coin and knowing her skill is unmatched, Lady Mariel Crawford enters an archery contest—as a boy. But instead of winning, she ties with the intriguing, frustrating, and very handsome Earl of Huntington. Robert of Huntington seems like any other young philanderer and Mariel, fleeing a cruel father, trusts no man. Yet Robert proves to have a softer side that threatens her resolve to remain alone and unattached.

Besting the young woman at a tourney is intriguing enough, when Robert realizes she is the daughter of the ruthless Beast of Ayr, his curiosity only deepens. Especially when he learns that Mariel’s father is conspiring with the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Now Robert is compelled to protect Lady Mariel. Even if it means lying. Even if the only way to save her is by marrying her. And even if it means losing everything to guard the Scottish wildling who has pierced his heart.

    An Earl for an Archeress by Elizabeth WatsonA Ladies of Scotland Novel #1Romance set in 1190 with a twist on the Robin Hood theme sees Mariel and Robert tiptoeing around the best way to keep her safe from her abusive father who is not only set on taming her but also desirous of marrying her off to someone that will further his political aspirations. Robert and Mariel seem well matched in more ways than one BUT there are many things against them and the possibility of them spending time together in the future – whether or not they will conquer all is what this story is about. Well, it also introduces Rob’s band of merry men, Mariel’s sister, someone that has a thing for Mariel’s sister, some other women that may or may not show up in future books and a fun story to read set in the medieval time period. I did have a quibble or two about whether or not codpieces and corsets were actually in use in 1190 and even though I googled was not able to find out for sure…but the question did send me hunting for information. What I liked: * Both Mariel and Robert are strong in mind and body and willing to state their minds* Mariel was willing to leave everything to get away from her father* Both, though highborn, saw the needs of those less fortunate* Everything was not easy for the two of them* The side characters were intriguing* I wondered who the next book in the series would be about* The writing style* The villains were heinous and deserved their comeuppance* The camaraderie of Robert and his followersWhat I didn’t like: * Mariel always haring off like a rabbit when afraid* Mariel’s lack of trust in Robert although it might be reasonable considering her past* Her sister’s choice at the end of the book (unless she stars in the next book and all works out well for her)Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4.5 Stars
