Left me in tears, Jun 26 2008
By Sun Set - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Comanche Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
Comanche Moon is a sweeping romance about a young settler who finds love among the very tribe that killed her mother. Yes, there are brutal scenes but that goes along with history. It is beyond me how some readers claim to enjoy historical romance but expect the author to candy coat reality. History is history, it cannot be changed. Ms. Anderson did an amazing job on Comanche culture and beliefs and even mentions that certain editors asked her to change her story but she refused. So if you want a really good romance with historical respect, this is the one for you. The romance sizzles and the understanding the heroine eventually develops for the Comanche people is breathtaking. There is also minor characters that lead up to her next book; Comanche Heart, Little Amy will break your heart.

The Hate.. The fear...The Love..., April 25 2009
By babs "babs" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Comanche Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
There have been some wondrous reviews written about this book so I'll not even attempt to out write them...What I will do though is tell you that I have never read a book like this, and I doubt I ever will again.The hate... the fear... the love... the coming together of polar opposites to meet and walk as one literally has you sobbing one minute and rejoicing the next. Anderson gifts you with the heat of the sun, the sound of horse hooves beating the earth, the whispers of the flowing streams and the vibrant colors of war paints...and even though it will truly hurt, she gifts you with the pain of loss.
I recommend "Comanche Moon" to absolutely anyone no matter your reading style. You will end this fine novel with a new perspective of others that are different from you...no matter who you are or where you come from we are all the same. We mourn the same...we rejoice the same...we love the same...

A Complete Original!!, Aug 23 2009
By Krista Lyn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Comanche Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
As a long time "romance reader" it is always refreshing to read something fresh and original. Comanche Moon is an EPIC LOVE STORY that is so fresh, original, and memorable that I feel I will struggle to do this book justice. It is a "must read" and one that has the power to impact, haunt, and emotionally move.This is a story about many things.....Good, Evil, Revenge, Destiny, Stereotypes, Culture Clash, Love, Loyalty, Family, Friendship, Betrayal, Forgiveness, and Fate. That may seem like many things for one book, but each of these subjects is thoroughly explored and dealt with.
Hunter is a Comanche warrior. An ancient prophecy tells that Hunter will fall in love with a white woman. Hunter can not accept this because the white man is responsible for many murders of the Comanche people, including Hunter's pregnant wife. Loretta is the woman the prophecy has foretold about. She watched Comanche warriers kill and rape her mother. She has not spoken since.
Hunter and Loretta's relationship starts out very slow. Both have intense hatred of one another's race. Both have been personally hurt by the other's race. They have much to overcome. Gradually the reader sees this transformation take place. It is no small thing that Anderson's writing ability allows the reader see this "impossible union" become "destined". This book moved me to tears several times. It evoked emotions that I didn't know I had as I learned about the historical truth of what happened between the white man and native american.
It is heartbreaking how human beings can treat each other, but in the midst of this painful reality springs up a love like no other...between enemies. It is this unbreakable truth that lends HOPE to such a HOPELESS time. This is a PRICELESS book.
