Acclaimed author Jill Marie Landis has gifted readers with award-winning love stories that express the most intimate longings of the human heart. With unique insight and irresistible wit, she breathes vivid life into her characters while depicting superb settings of stunning beauty and realism. Now, in her long-awaited hardcover debut, Jill Marie Landis tells the tender tale of a woman without choices who risks everything for one last chance at happiness. RANCHER SEEKING WIFE. For Kate Whittington, the modest words of a newspaper ad are the answer to her desperate prayers. Daughter of a dockside harlot and raised in a bleak orphanage, she has no prospects in the unforgiving Maine village of her birth. Correspondence from the lonely Texas widower looking for a mail-order bride sparks tempting dreams of a house, a family, and a future in a land filled with possibilities. Kate arrives at the magnificent Lone Star Ranch eager to meet her new husband. Instead she is greeted by the news that Reed Benton has been wounded during a raid on a Comanche village and has returned with a prisoner--a wild-looking young boy who may be his long lost son. Even more shattering, however, is the fact that Reed has never heard of Kate, never wrote the searing letters that charmed her heart. Reed Benton doesn't want a wife. But he does need someone to look after the boy--a bitter reminder of a past ravaged by lies and betrayal. It will take a miracle to heal these two damaged souls . . . or the faith of one woman with nothing left to lose but her heart. Summer Moon is a deeply moving story of broken promises and new beginnings, crafted by a true master of romantic fiction. From the Hardcover edition.… (altro)
Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5 Stars) Title: Summer Moon Author(s): Jill Marie Landis Character(s): ― Katherine “Kate” Whittington: 29 years old, Auburn, Brown Eyed ― Reed Benton: 28 years old, Brunette, Blue Eyed Setting: Lone Star Ranch, Texas Tag(s): Romance, Historical Content Rating: R POV: Third Person Smexy Level: Hot Favorite Quote(s): ― “I want you to have what you want, Kate. I want to give you the whole damn dream. I love you.” ― “I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to love you the way you want, the way you deserve to be loved.” 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.

Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, Raze out the written troubles of the brain, And with some sweet oblivious antidote Cleanse the stuff'd bosom of that perilous stuff Which weighs upon the heart... --Shakespeare, Macbeth
