Product Description
From Amazon.com
Setting: Southern Illinois, 1820
Sensuality rating: 5
Sensuality rating: 5
Eighteen-year old runaway Olivia Bond assumes no one can love her because of the ugliness of her past. Reclusive half-breed Noah LeCroix believes no one can love him because of the ugliness of his scars. When Noah rescues Olivia from the dangers of the Southern Illinois swamp he calls home, each recognizes the beauty and strength of the survivor inside the other. Returning Olivia to her long-lost family should be the most difficult task of Noah's life, but in fact leaving her there turns out to be unbearable. But when prejudice and intolerance, as well as a mysterious stranger from Olivia's past, threaten their hard-won peace, both face the challenge of a lifetime, namely letting themselves love and be loved. Bestselling author Jill Marie Landis, whose award-winning novels include Come Spring and Sunflower, will capture readers with a mesmerizing historical tale of the battles and rewards of passion and romance. --Alison Trinkle
From Publishers Weekly
Noah LeCroix made an appearance in Landis's Just Once; now the enigmatic recluse gets his own story, set in 1820. After a near-fatal accident while guiding 200 families down the Ohio River, Noah loses an eye and retreats to the swamps of frontier Illinois. He avoids all human contactAuntil a mysterious girl stumbles into his swamp. Olivia Bond was kidnapped by river pirates and sold into prostitution. Having escaped, but still wary, she grudgingly accepts Noah's help. As she heals, Olivia comes to feel safe with Noah who, in turn, is intrigued by her beauty and how easily she has slipped into his lifeA"invading his senses and stirring up his world." Desire sparks between them, but Olivia doesn't feel worthy of his love, and Noah, respecting her refusal, agrees to see her home. He leaves her with her family in Illinois, unaware of the danger that awaits her at the hands of an obsessive ex-lover. In this gripping and emotionally charged tale, Landis delivers another unusual, beautifully crafted romance. (July)

A Sweet and enchanting love story,
By
This review is from: Blue Moon (Paperback)
Blue Moon is a sweet love story of two people who have scars inside and out but are determined to rise above their problems and live their lives the best they can. Olivia is a girl on the run who gets lost in a Southern Illinois swamp. Noah is the half-breed man who finds her and nurses her back to health. He also helps her find her way to her family who she has been separated from. In doing this he sets aside his own feelings for his love of Olivia.This book is a fantastic read. The characters are real and the story wonderful. It doesn't take long for the reader to be engrossed in their story and wanting them to have their happily-ever-after. Blue Moon is a wonderfully written book with a great storyline and well-developed characters. Blue Moon is a book to keep on the shelf and revisit again and again.

EXCELLENT -- #3 0F 3,

This review is from: Blue Moon (Paperback)
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.

Romantic, unforgettable love story,
By pigpig (BKK, Thailand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blue Moon (Paperback)
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.
