5.0 out of 5 stars Unusual writing style does it for me, Jun 15 2003

By	"acharra" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Upon a Moon-Dark Moor (Mass Market Paperback)

I've just read several of the reviews for this book. I must admit, it was the first book I'd ever read by Rebecca and, to me, the most powerful. I feel that the way she wrote in first person was the most amazing part of this book. I felt as if I were experiencing it or as if I were reading a diary of someone who had. It made it more than an enjoyable read, it made it real. That doesn't happen too often.

I haven't read this book in a few years but I can't imagine that the dialogue and flowery phrases are too different that what was the norm when it was written nor is still the norm today in the romance genre. I don't remember it taking away from the story for me.

I don't read romances for the steamy sex scenes. I read them for the characterization and historical accuracy mostly. If the relationship works by taking a bit longer than 200 pages to have that first kiss, then so be it. Isn't that how life works sometimes? If a book is good, which I feel this one is, then I will gladly read 200+ pages of why they might want to kiss in the first place.

I feel that this book is much more than your basic romance novel, always have. I loved it when I first read it when it was brand new and I still love it.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Sequel is Better, Feb 2 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Upon a Moon-Dark Moor (Mass Market Paperback)

This book wasn't Brandewyne at her best ("Love, Cherish Me")or near best ("Across a Starlit Sea", "Forever, My Love," "Desire in Disguise"). But it wasn't her worst either... better than some of her recent ones.

The second book in this series, "Across a Starlit Sea," was much, much, better. And it was leading up to a third book which looked like there would be a big payoff, but the 3rd book never came out! Does anyone know why?

I would really like to know what happened to the third book in this trilogy and also to the third book in Brandewynes fantasy romance "Passion Moon Rising" trilogy. If anyone has information please post it on this site.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best Brandewyne book I have read..., Dec 26 1999

By	CJ Bookreader "cjbookreader" (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Upon a Moon-Dark Moor (Mass Market Paperback)

The book is written in 1st person, as Maggie, the main character tells her lifestory. It was a little difficult to read at first; not usually what you see in most romance novels. The storyline is good but it was slow to grasp my attention. Although I have LOVED other Brandewyne books, I couldn't get into this one. The story really picked up & I got interested about 1/2 way through the book. I still thought the book was good & story line was interesting...it just wasn't of the same caliber as "Love Cherish Me".
