Publisher's summary

An unforgettably rich and romantic novel of colonial America.

Brash, beautiful Jessica Darling preferred to forget what she'd done to survive her destitute childhood. Now, her shameful past safely behind her, she found contentment as the governess of two motherless children - until their long-lost father returned unexpectedly to take them.

Fletcher Danforth, imprisoned for five years in the colonies, felt little love for anyone - except his son and daughter. He would take any risk to claim them from their guardians - even blackmail Jessica into marrying him! But as the sweet passion of moonlit nights claims them, Fletcher discovers the healing power of Jessica's love, only to realize he may have lost all hope to win her heart.

moonshadow

The concept of this story I found very interesting. I mostly had trouble with the communication between the main characters. Too much uncertainty and lack of confidence. I found the Narration to be well done and I enjoyed it.

Tiresome

Slow as molasses. Conflicts very artificial and redundant. Reader fails terribly at male voices especially leading man. She reads him as expressionless. Wiggs has done better this was pretty boring. Plot ok

Just no

Plot too simplistic, characters are stereotypical. There are No shades of grey to either the characters or the plot line. The premise of this book has a lot of promise, but the book itself? Take a pass.
