Secrets of a Midnight Moon

Rating:
Summary: FULL OF PATHOS, HUMOR, AND HEAT.
Review: Anna Jensen is subtly kidnapped by Nicholas Gaspard to teach Indian children he has rescued from the hands of those who would mistreat them. Unbeknownst to her, her employer is dead, and Nicholas is his son. Sparks fly when Anna realizes what he's done and tries to escape. Being raised with preconceived ideas about Indians, Anna believes that they are ignorant and savage. To Nicholas, Anna reminds him of the white woman he loved, a woman who scorned him because of his half-Indian blood. But as time passes, Anna comes to love these abused and orphaned children, and Nicholas as well. But Nicholas's half-brother Marcus and his father-in-law, who have been tracking the mysterious savior of the Indian children, are closing in fast. I liked the fact that this book addressed the prejudices Whites harbored towards America's first inhabitants. Secrets of a Midnight Moon was fast-paced and packed with humor and sensuality. It was funny when Anna was struggling with Nicholas because she thought he was going to kill her, when all he wanted to do was give her a bath because she threw the chamber pot at him, only to have it backfire on her. As she's clutching onto him while they're in the lake, she cries "Why are you doing this to me?" and he simply replies, "Because you stink."
