Customer Reviews

Painful

The main heroin is painfully stupid and racist and her stubbornness and incoherence create constant unnecessary drama. It’s so long and pretty graphic in some parts. I genuinely couldn’t finish this I hated the main character so much.

Drama

Disappointed for the first time by Catherine Anderson. If your looking for a romantic, entertaining, or a heart touching story, this is not the book. This book is more of a cold dramatic saga or soap opera where the hero and heroine are more apart and at odds with each other than they are together. They have both have shattered pasts and the shattering goes on way to long before any healing takes place. It gets repetitive, discouraging, and depressing waiting and hoping for some deep heartfelt feelings and healing to happen. I read for enjoyment and entertainment as a hobby...I did not get this in this book. I have the other 3 books in this series but im afraid to read them that they will be cold and depressing like this one.

A Complete Original!!

As a long time "romance reader" it is always refreshing to read something fresh and original. Comanche Moon is an EPIC LOVE STORY that is so fresh, original, and memorable that I feel I will struggle to do this book justice. It is a "must read" and one that has the power to impact, haunt, and emotionally move. This is a story about many things.....Good, Evil, Revenge, Destiny, Stereotypes, Culture Clash, Love, Loyalty, Family, Friendship, Betrayal, Forgiveness, and Fate. That may seem like many things for one book, but each of these subjects is thoroughly explored and dealt with. Hunter is a Comanche warrior. An ancient prophecy tells that Hunter will fall in love with a white woman. Hunter can not accept this because the white man is responsible for many murders of the Comanche people, including Hunter's pregnant wife. Loretta is the woman the prophecy has foretold about. She watched Comanche warriers kill and rape her mother. She has not spoken since. Hunter and Loretta's relationship starts out very slow. Both have intense hatred of one another's race. Both have been personally hurt by the other's race. They have much to overcome. Gradually the reader sees this transformation take place. It is no small thing that Anderson's writing ability allows the reader see this "impossible union" become "destined". This book moved me to tears several times. It evoked emotions that I didn't know I had as I learned about the historical truth of what happened between the white man and native american. It is heartbreaking how human beings can treat each other, but in the midst of this painful reality springs up a love like no other...between enemies. It is this unbreakable truth that lends HOPE to such a HOPELESS time. This is a PRICELESS book.

Take a journey you will never forget!

Orphaned after her parents were killed by Comanches, Loretta Simpson still lives in terror that the warriors will return, her fear so powerful, she is no longer able to speak a word. Hunter of the Wolf believes that Loretta is a woman of ancient prophecy whom he must honor. But Loretta can only see him as the enemy who has kidnapped her, and she refuses to succumb to his control--or his touch. Despite the hatred between their peoples, Loretta and Hunter gradually find their enmity changing to respect and care. In the midst of such conflict, it will take all the force of their love to find a safe haven. I am still reeling over this book. It is amazing! Loretta is such a strong and courageous heroin. You feel her emotions so strongly through out the whole book. And Mrs. Anderson new that she would need a strong heroin to go up against Hunter of the Wolf. I am still in love with this character. He was strong and smart and perfect with Loretta. Together they fell and triumphed. This was a powerful story. One of those books that takes you on a journey and after its over you felt like you were right there on that journey with them, fighting and falling in love.

Fall in love all over again............

I love every one of Catherine Anderson's romances, whether they are historical or modern day. This book is a love story that goes against all the odds, and with every challenge you fall more in love with each character in the book. In every book she writes, I cry, laugh, and when I am finished I am smiling. :) COMANCHE MOON main character HUNTER OF THE WOLF kidnaps a white woman, LORETTA SIMPSON whom he believes is his destiny from a ancient prophecy. Loretta tries with everything she has to escape Hunter and his tribe but she soon realizes Hunter is not whom he seems to be. Both main character's carry alot of emotional damage from pain caused by each others races, but when Loretta is taken home by Hunter as promised her little cousin Amy is kidnapped and realizes that only Hunter of the Wolf can help her .......... and destiny returns her to Hunter. HUNTER is what everyone woman wants, and you'll find yourself wanting more at the end of the novel. Can't wait for the balance of the series to come out, every character in this book is amazing - all have stength and all worthy of Catherine Anderson. GREAT BOOK, GREAT JOB CA
