Moon Over Water (Deliverance Company, No. 3)

By Debbie Macomber

Book Overview

Lorraine Dancy has always been a dreamer, but she couldn't imagine finding her long lost father, getting framed for the theft of a priceless artifact and having to make a daring escape all in the same trip to Mexico. With both the cops and the local crime boss after her, she's pretty relieved--and completely smitten--when renegade Jack Keller comes to the rescue. She just hopes that they both live long enough to act out the rest of her romantic fantasy.

Customer Reviews

Good-hearted and unpretentious entertainment

Although not normally a romance reader, I picked up "Moon Over Water" while vacationing in an effort to cleanse my brain of the noxious after-effects of the "beach book" I had just finished (which was "Summer Sisters" -- absolute trash!) And this book did the job; this generous-hearted novel is responsible for restoring my usual upbeat view of the world and people. Even though much of the action is propelled by a series of lies and deceptions, the main characters and their friends and family are people whose behavior is governed by considerations of honor, decency, and obligation. They are people who, although likeable to start with, gain depth of principle as a result of having loved. This is refreshing and fun reading, and leaves one with the comfortable feeling of having passed the day with good people.

Romance with real people!

I love Debbie Macomber and this book proves she just keeps getting better. In the characters of Jack Keller and Raine Dancy we get to see two people who have real lives and normal human fears. The subplot of the aftereffects of the Vietnam War is excellent. Many of us have friends or relatives who are still living with that nightmare. Ms. Macomber handles the moral dilemmas of that time with sensitivity and understanding. Both Jack and Raine learn to appreciate the gift of love on any level and become able to share it with others. There is plenty of action and adventure as well as lots of romance. Those looking for steamy sex will be disappointed. In my opinion this is a welcome change of pace from traditional romance/suspense novels. Enjoy the book. I'm sure you will become drawn into the lives of the characters by the end of the first chapter!

enjoyable

it very much reminded me of romancing the stone. in fact, i kept picturing kathleen turner and michael douglas in the title roles. with danny devito thrown in for a little humour! a good lighthearted summer read!

If You Loved Romancing The Stone, You'll Love This!!!!

Moon Over Water is a hysterical, deeply romantic combination of Romancing The Stone and African Queen. I found myself wanting to laugh, cry, and fall in love all at the same time. The true tender love that is shared between Lorraine and Jack, makes your heart melt, and leaves the reader yearning to go searching for a man just like Jack Keller. The storyline had everything; adventure, suspense, emotional insights, doubt and tender love. I read this book in one sitting and found myself so engrossed in the story and characters, that I was actually found myself commenting on the characters actions aloud (and attracting much attention, may I add).I loved the novel and would highly recommend this novel to any one...romance reader or not. And if you weren't a romance reader before, you will be after reading this outstanding novel!
