Overall Opinion:
After months and months of exchanging letters, Kate finds herself in Texas to begin her new life which are filled of dreams of marriage, a home and a family of her own. Unknownst to her, the man she’s has been exchanging written notes claims he had never placed the ad for a wife. Without a notice, a whirlwind romance ensues after a proxy of marriage is set in stone and she suddenly becomes the caregiver of the Texas Ranger wounded child he rescue from Comanche.

Needless to say, from beginning to end, it became a bit more than difficult to put this down. It was a true western historical romance filled trouble leads who did everything in their power to fight the growing attraction between them. I don’t know how Jill Marie Landis did it, but I was honestly captivated by the overall flow of the story in which the romance was not rush nor force, the realistic characters including the secondary characters Daniel, Charm, and Jonah left a long lasting impression on me, and how she was able to tied everything together for a satisfying finish. Hands down worth the read and I would recommend “Summer Moon” to everyone looking for a great written romance series filled with perfect writing style, heartbreak, racy scenes, and real likable characters.

Jill Marie Landis has written a winner with Mai Tai One On, the first book of the new Tiki Goddess series. Put on your puka shell necklace, grab a mai tai and get ready for a Hawaiin vacation! This book has all the ingredients for a summer fun read or a cold, "I wish I were in Hawaii", winter read. There is the exotic location, suspense with a couple of murders and kidnappings to solve, romance and the laugh out loud antics of, my favorite dancers, The Hula Maidens. Reading the final chapter I couldn't help but wish the second book was already available. I love this book!… (mehr)
