fun Americana tale, Aug 2 2009
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Comanche Moon Rising (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1846 Texas, the Blue Norther killed her father and left Shiloh Braden worried to death about her ranch failing and when it does what will happen to her and her younger brother who she is raising. Shiloh also finds the storm left a young female Indian with a fever stranded in her barn. Without a second thought, she takes the child inside to try to heal her; which she does.
Comanche war chief Shadowhawk comes for his younger sister Moon Song stranded by the storm. He knows he owes her for protecting his sibling. When a neighboring rancher proves perfidious and dangerous, Shadowhawk, paying off his debt of honor, abducts Shiloh and her brother over her protestations to keep them safe. As they fall in love, Shadowhawk knows he cannot keep Shiloh at his side as his wife so returns her to her ranch when he deems it safe.
This is a fun Americana tale due to the strong lead characters who know they have no future together although the well written storyline and the cast will remind sub-genre fans of Cassie Edward's "Savage" romances. Filled with depth, readers will enjoy COMANCHE MOON RISING as a taboo love between the Indian war chief and the white rancher makes for an exciting "C. Edwardian" historical tale.

O'Banyon Fan NOT Disappointed At All, Oct 11 2009
By Sarah Elizabeth - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Comanche Moon Rising (Mass Market Paperback)
Like the last reader/reviewer, I have collected and read Constance O'Banyon's books since the early 1980s. There is no one who can tell a story like O'Banyon! As a history teacher, I know a lot about the Comanche, who were the fiercest warriors of the American Plains. I thought Ms. O'Banyon did a wonderful job making the Comanche, who historically have a reputation for ruthlessness, sympathetic characters.
COMANCHE MOON RISING has it all--romance that tugs at your heart, wit and humor, and descriptive passages that allow you to imagine you are there with the characters. This book not only has strong main characters, but real-to-life secondary characters, like the heroine's brother and the hero's grandfather.
Like the previous reader/reviewer, I was not ready for the story to end. If you have read Ms. O'Banyon's books, you know that her earlier books were a lot longer, but weren't all the romance books in the 80s and 90s! There seems to be a trend to make the books shorter and shorter, and I have heard that it is high printing costs that have forced the publishers to require less word count from their authors. We shouldn't blame the authors!
I really liked Shadowhawk, the hero, because of his strength and honor, and the difficult decisions he had to make.
In her over 50 books published, I do have my particular favorites, but any O'Banyon book is well worth the reading.
Listmania!
