Orphan Moon
Orphan Moon was
a story I had trouble putting down. Both Barleigh and Leighselle are
bright and strong characters that earn respect as this story
progresses. Hughes is easily likeable immediately not just for his
high standards but also for his stand to protect those around him.
This story is a wild adventure from the beginning to the end. Though
the events as they unfold, both the memories, and what is happening
present day in the story, break your heart, there is this strength of
character that comes out and you watch Barleigh shine as she makes
hard choices and ultimately finds love. I really enjoyed reading
Orphan Moon from start to finish.
The story
begins with Barleigh losing pretty much everything that she's ever
known. She takes off on an adventure to gain the money to rebuild
her life for the sake of her and her baby sister. To do this she has
to learn to be someone she is not. But she is up to the task and
pulls it off beautifully.
Then there is
Hughes... He is a rough and tumble Texas Ranger that has a friend he
owes his life to. This friend, Leighselle, asks him for a favor
which takes him on his own adventure.
In Saint Joseph
Barleigh and Hughes meet.
This story is
almost like three stories that intersect then finally join together
around the middle of the book. I like that you really get to know
Hughes and Barleigh separate first before their lives become
intermingled. You can see that it is going to happen, but there
really is two stories (three is pared down to two) going on until
that point.
Orphan Moon is
a great read that I would recommend to anyone who likes westerns,
adventures, or romance (though I would say it is more adventure than
romance for much of the story).
