Summary: Outstanding! Wonderful!
Review: I stayed up late so I can get to the ending, I just couldn't sleep until I found out all the particulars. This book keeps you hopping. Very few writers write about the man being a virgin and the woman being experienced. I loved the change. I even felt sympathy for the villain! A must read!!

Summary: EXCELLENT -- #3 0F 3
Review: I was so happy to find out what happened to Noah LeCroix.
I don't know what else to say -- I fell in love with the characters of all of these books and will revisit them again.That, to me, makes a good book and worth keeping. I can sympathize with Noah and Olivia - sometimes there are just too many people around, too much noise and confusion. I do believe that they have learned the value of silence and contentment on Heron Pond. The story that led them back to their home was so very fascinating. I don't see it as turning their backs on family so much as their need to just be together. Definitely Recommended and another keeper. But form your own opinion.

Summary: Excellent and original... I couldn't put it down!!!
Review: I've always been a big fan of historical romances, it's about 95% of what I read, for some reason those times capture me and I can imagine being there myself. After reading this book I couldn't stop talking about it and nearly drove my husband crazy with my enthusiasm about the originality of this book. If you like historical romances and you're looking for something that's different from your typical characters (who in most other romances almost always seem to be the same people in my opinion) this is what you need. Jill Marie Landis did a great job. This was the first book of hers that I've read and I'm looking forward to reading more of her works! An excellent read!!

Summary: Romantic, unforgettable love story
Review: More than 5 stars, in fact. This my first Jill Marie Landis book I read and it is not my last. Blue Moon is a fabulous read. This is a very beautiful love story of two emotionally tortured people who at first believe that they are not worth of love but gradually feel the true love from one another as they fall in love. The hero, Noah LeCroix, one-eye, scarred half-breed is the hero of my favorite type - physically and emotionally scarred. Noah belives that he is not worth of being love because of his scars. The heroine, Olivia Bond, believes that she is worthless because of her being exclusive whore of Darcy Lankanal, a whorehouse owner in New Orleans. She is a real heroine who can forgive every unforgivable crime others did to her in the past. You will savor the romantic love story between the two while get excited by thrilling intrigues as dangers approach them.
If scarred-hero theme is your favorite, this book is for you. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Undeniably romantic, yet somewhat disappointing read
Review: No question. This tale of love between two lost souls is very sweet. Olivia Bond feels unworthy of love because of the year she spent as Darcy Lankanal's sex toy. Reclusive Noah LaCroix feels unworthy of love because of his severe facial scars. When Noah rescues Olivia after she gets lost in the swamp while on the run from Darcy, they begin to care for each other. Wonderful idea, yet two things bothered me. First, two such appealing characters in a romance novel deserve far more in the way of a sexual pay-off. More should have been made of Noah's loss of virginity. The build-up in tension between Olivia and Noah was never given a decent outlet. Second, and more serious, the last part of the book spent way too much time on Darcy and a shaky attempt to clean up his image in preparation for a novel of his own. I'm sorry, Jill, but Darcy is no hero.

Summary: Page Turner Status. Grade: B
Review: Oh, this was a good frontier romance. Jill Marie Landis did some wonderful things with BLUE MOON. She masterfully used a disfigured hero, a tarnished heroine, and a captivating villain. The results: a good story.
Mutilated by an accident, Noah LeCroix chose to spend most of his life alone. However, his solitary lifestyle changed the day he found the lovely unconscious Olivia Bond. Hesitantly, he brought her to his cabin, to care for her, to make her well again, but now desire fills him.
Experienced with the wiles of men, Olivia recognizes Noah's attraction, but thinks that her wantonness breeds his desire. To hinder his attraction, Olivia reveals her dishonorable past, a past spent under the control of whoremonger, Darcy Lankanal. Olivia Bond was Darcy Lankanal's personal toy. Now all she wants is to go home, but how will her family accept what she has done? Will they welcome her or ask her to leave?
Darcy Lankanal is angry that his bedtoy has run off. He is obsessed with his little student. She must be returned to his private quarters in New Orleans so they can continue with her instructions.
The story's favorable factors:
Jill Marie Landis' depiction of the harsh living conditions is first class. Landis' dialogue is top notch and the author cleverly nourishes the sexual tension between Olivia and Noah. But it is the portrayal of Darcy Lankanal that carries the book. Landis has created an enticing villain in Lankanal. His charming, scoundrel behavior is the story.
The story's non-favorable factors:
Olivia Bond's relentless struggle with her past becomes tedious. But it is the character of Noah LeCroix that is the big disappointment. Noah unfolds as a big mule - something akin to Li'l Abner or Jethro Bodine. His confusion and uncertainty are too much. Reality is good, but romance heros have to be divine beings. Grade: B
