Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In Canham's (The Pride of Lions) latest dashing historical romance, beautiful French refugee Renee d'Anton, who has narrowly escaped the guillotine, lands in almost as great a mess in England. Caught in her uncle's web of scheming, and with her younger brother's life at risk, she reluctantly agrees to help the evil Colonel Roth catch highwayman Tyrone Hart, better known as Captain Starlight. But when she meets the highwayman, Renee gets a better idea: she'll double-cross Roth and escape with the handsome outlaw. Entertaining plot twists follow, enlivened by sharply drawn characters and plenty of sex. If the elements are familiar (echoes of The Scarlet Pimpernel, in particular) and a few of the French phrases are mangled, engrossed readers are unlikely to mind.

Outstanding!,
By lgbdx3 (VA heartland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pale Moon Rider (Mass Market Paperback)
Canham definitely has a new fan here, following up Pride of Lions & Blood of Roses with this fantastic story.I was on the edge of my seat through this entire book it seems. The hero & heroine & villains are in such close proximity the entire time that I was constantly on edge for something to go wrong...in a most delicious way. The hero is unabashedly UNapologetic for his lifestyle; he is not troubled or tormented, there is no deep pain rooted in his past. I found that refreshingly different. The heroine is a refugeee from the French revolution, towing along a younger brother & a humorously stiff but protective servant. Pale Moon Rider is well written, fast moving, and just has all the right elements of a great romance; passion, humor, excitement, drama, tenderness. Ms Canham, I put you right up there with my other favorite, Penelope Williamson. You have a beautiful skill for 'making it real' and drawing us deeply into a story.

My ideal book!,

This review is from: Pale Moon Rider (Mass Market Paperback)
What took me so long before I discovered this author?!!!Reading romance books for a long time, I thought I'd found some authors who always write good books they've become my fevourite authors. Never had I found an author whose writing style suit my romance fantasy copletely ..not until found this author of my dream! When I read this book and enjoyed every part of it I realized how I love romantic adventure. Combinding a heart-warming love story with heart-stoping excitements, Marsha Canham wrote a terrific story that contained all ingredients I've ever wanted in a book. Now it's a mission of my life to hunt for the rest of her books, hope they'll be as good as this one!

Simply great,
This review is from: Pale Moon Rider (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm a recent convert to Marsha Canham's work and I love her style. Epic in scope and meticulous in detail, her well-written historical novels are an invitation to another world for a few hours, and I've enjoyed every trip I've taken with her.Pale Moon Rider is no exception to that rule. It's a swashbuckling tale of a resourceful beauty in distress and a reluctant highwayman hero drawn against his will into a scheme to save her from a truly unpleasant fate. If you haven't read any Marsha Canham before, you're in for a treat with Pale Moon Rider. If you have read her other works, then smile, because you've got another great one to look forward to!
