Like, I get that what she experienced was horrible, but like the revolutionaries had no money or food, let alone a hundred pairs of shoes and a room full of fancy clothing, lol. As an aristocrat that managed to escape (though most of her family did not), it isn't a great look to bemoan the fact that you don't have a ton of clothes and shoes because of the revolutionaries. That part just wasn't very compelling, in my opinion.įour stars because overall the book is fun, but the heroine had a about the French Revolution. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the weird conspiracy with Renee's uncle felt kind of forced, and Canham spent way too much time detailing the genealogy and financial history of Rene's family. There's a lot of nuance and layers to both of their characters, which made the romance between them all the more enjoyable to read. Renee is beautiful and relatively innocent, but she's also extremely strong, and not in an annoying, "I have to argue with everyone," sort of way. In Tyrone and Renee's dynamic, they both have an equal amount of control. She didn't want it in the first place!įortunately, that's not the case at all in Pale Moon Rider. I don't want to read scenes where the man is literally forcing himself on the woman I don't care if she ends up being into it at the end. Although he's an intimidating man who could easily overpower her, she still has a lot of control in their relationship, which I feel I don't often see in many romance novels (and even some of Canham's other ones!).

Pale Moon Rider has both a well-developed story with fully defined characters, and plenty of sexy time.Ĭonsidering when this book was written, I was also very impressed with how much agency Renee had as a character. WHEW! So steamy! I was really impressed with how well Marsha Canham walks the line between cheesy and full-blown erotica.

So he agreed to risk his life for the fiery beauty-to recover the jewels that would free her from an arranged marriage and an unspeakable threat. She was pure temptation, challenging Tyrone Hart to steal a set of heirloom rubies and name his price. For the dark, seductive highwayman was her only hope in a perilous game of chance. Little did he know Renée had come in desperation to meet him. Renée d'Anton watched, breathless, as the cloaked figure commanded, "Stand and deliver!" and her coach shuddered to a halt. Like a wraith he appeared in the Coventry night, the notorious highwayman called Captain Starlight. ![]() "It was a fine night for treachery, dark with a pale moon rising." ![]() He lived by night-the dark, dangerous highwayman who stole her heart.
