I have no complaints when it comes to this book. Beau is a excellent heroine. I grow tired of leading heroines depending on a guy for everything, even though they say their independent. That is definetly not the case with Beau, shes intelligent, witty and passionate. She does her job to the T so no one can say she didn't earn her palce on the ship. She has a tongue thats quick and can sometimes land her into trouble but thats part of her charm. Across a Moonlit Sea was the first book I read by Marsha Canham, and when my copy got lost, I had to buy another one, cause I couldn't get the story out of my head! This is a serious page tuner, and a book I often pick up when I want a guarenteed good read. I'm now searching for more books by this talented author!
A Pirates Delight

I absolutely loved this book. I think Marsha Canham did a great job of writing this book. There seemed to be a few facts in the story that I believe were incorrect, but no big deal to me. Her discription of all the characters was wonderful; especially the cook. It actually made me laugh out loud. Her description of the ship and it's manoeuvres seemed right on. This book was adventurous, humorous and sexy enough for me to truly not want it to end. I have never kept a book with the intent of ever reading it again, but I do not want to part with this book just in case. I love pirate stories and this one did not disappoint me at all. I hope you find it as enjoyable as I did.
Terrific, fast-paced adventure!

Well written adventures that take place on the high seas are hard to find these days and this is definately one of the best. I LOVED Simon Dante. The scene in the cabin when he is massaging oil into his bruises! I could imagine seeing each stroke. The action sequences were stunning and so visual it was like watching a movie. Hey, Hollywood, why ISN'T it a movie?
Splendid adventure.

Usually I don't care for pirate stories...but..Ms. Canham has the ability to take any setting and turn it into a grand adventure. Simon and Beau were great characters. I had a good time with this book.
