Summary: Readers will feel good after this historical romance
Review: Colonel Sullivan and his river pirates force the father of teenager Oliva Bond to surrender his daughter to them. In turn, they sell Oliva to Darcy Lankanal, owner of a New Orleans house of gambling, liquor, and prostitution. As is his want with any new prostitute, Darcy uses them for two-three months before he turns them over to his customers. However, Oliva was still with him after a year. One month ago, she fled his boudoir. By 1820, a desperate Oliva runs into an Illinois swamp, seeking asylum, but instead takes a nasty fall. Hermit Noah La Croix finds the unconscious teenager and carries her to his remote tree house. When she first awakens, Oliva seems frightened by the scarred visage of her host. However, as he shows her kindness and compassion, the duo falls in love with one another. Still both have deep rooted scars to overcome and the obsessed Darcy plans to have Oliva return to his house of ill repute no matter what it takes to get her there. Anyone who has read a Jill Marie Landis historical romance knows they can count on authenticity, an exciting story line, and a haunting climax. BLUE MOON takes off from where its prequel, JUST ONCE, leaves readers. Noah remains the same recluse, but even lonelier as his only friend has just been married. Oliva has demons chasing her, but still can see the beauty inside her savior. The story line vividly paints to readers a different, more complete side to the Era of Good Feeling. Ms. Landis illustrates why she is a best selling, award winning author with this awesome Americana romance. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Deliciously delightful read!
Review: From beginning to end, Blue Moon kept me reading almost nonstop for two days. As always, Ms. Landis paints the most exquisite visual imagery and evokes the deepest emotions from her characters. Looking forward to her next book, Orchid Hunters!

Summary: Not as good as I had hoped...
Review: I am usually a sucker for romances with men that are the outcasts in some way, so when I read the reviews for this book, I thought I would love it. However, I found it fairly predictable. I found the main female character rather dull actually, and I didn't find the obsessed pimp character all that believable either.

Summary: sweet
Review: I liked this book, but I can't put my finger on what it was that made me not want to keep it. I loved Noah. He was sweet and kind and a virgin. I liked all of that. I also liked Oliva. I just got tired of the repeated vows of being unworthy. I thought this a good story, just not as good as the other reviewers.

Summary: A Beautiful Love Story
Review: I read "Blue Moon" initially out of boredom. Someone had left it behind at our summer condo in New Jersey. I could not put the book down and read it late into the night until I couldn't even see the words on the pages anymore because I was so tired. The story of Olivia Bond and Noah LeCroix is one of genuine love. Jill Marie Landis did a wonderful job researching Illinois' wildlife and history. If you are looking for a love story that will make you feel good inside after you read it, look no further. Also, If you are a fan of Jill Marie Landis, this book is the sequel to "Just Once."
