The opening chapter of this book will hook you in!Robin is definitely not used to living the way the people at Turtle Shores do. It becomes quite an adjustment for her, but one that she makes pretty well. She may even like the group that she now lives among. I love that Robin begins to learn that there is more to life than what you can buy, and how expensive it is. She learns to appreciate the small things.Creek is a good guy. He does some crazy things sometimes, but it’s all to help those he cares about. I also like that he is able to bring Robin out of her shell, and show her how amazing things are even when there is no money to be had.The romance is a little fast, but it is still believable. The characters are young, and sometimes intense situations bring out your emotions faster than any other time. The ways these two get themselves into trouble is insane. They definitely have luck on their side.Overall, I loved it. There is even a hint at something magical, and I really hope to find out more in the next books. This book is such fun! I love Diane J. Reed takes a classic tale and gives it a spin, creating a story that delights. This could have been cliché, but she infused such flare into the book, it wraps you up in the imagery and quirky cast. I was amused from the get go. Robin has such a dry sense of humor. At the same time, I was intrigued, especially as the story took off immediately, entertaining from the first moment. When Robin ends up in Turtle Shored, the supporting characters shape the story and keep you reeled in. Now things are about to get interesting… Robin and her dad are broke and on the run. Turns out…Turtle Creek has a whole world of kindred spirits. And among them is Creek, a modern day Robin Hood who steals to save and protect. Robin is swept up in a web of secrets and mystery, but to survive, she joins Creek in his criminal ways. Along the journey, she learns about what love really is, the true meaning of family, and begins to see a shot at happiness. Robin and Creek fill a whole in each other, but they both possess tears in their souls that can only be filled by finding answers to the questions and riddles that plague their life. This story has a basic conclusion, but not everything is tied up in a nest shiny bow. I’m so glad I don’t have to say goodbye to the characters of this book! On to Stone of Thieves!
