Good and getting better

The Moon and The Stars, is Consnstance O'banyon at her best. I loved the lovestory, the nobility, the fast pace. I have been reading this author for years and she never disappoints.

THE MOON AND THE STARS

The MOON AND THE STARS is a phenominal book! I loved it! The characters live and the plot of THE MOON AND THE STARS just sings with action and romance. The sexual tension between the hero, a bounty hunter we'd all like to be hunted by, and the heroine, just feisty enough to make us proud, sent chills down my spine. I read far into the night because I couldn't seem to put the book down. Constance O'Banyon's books never fail me and this book is certainly one of her best. Bravo Constance!

O'banyon rocks!

I like O'Banyon's books, have been a fan for over 20 years. This book is up to her usual excellent standards. If you like well-written, historically accurate romances set in Texas, then COB is the author for you. Romantic Times gave this book a wonderful review. I'm wondering why she and her editor are getting such vitriolic attacks in this forum. Let's try burying the hatchet, but not in Ms. O'Banyon or her editor.

Awesome!!

Carolyn Richmond and Wade Renault are fantastic characters! O'banyon's tale unfurls dramatically and will pull you into the story. You won't be able to put it down until you get to the end. Romance, mystery and adventure will entertain you! I burned the midnight oil with this one, and so will you. Do yourself a favor. Read this book! To the author; Thank you again Ms. O'banyon!

You CAN judge a book by its cover!!

This is one of the most beautiful covers I have ever seen! In an age when so many bookcovers are computer-generated and generic-looking, Leisure must have been excited about this book to put so much into the artwork. And rightly so. Bitter-sweet, poignant, and tender are just some of the words that I would use to describe this tale of romantic misconceptions and misunderstandings. Both the hero and heroine are the embodiment of courage and honor; it just takes them a while to see those same qualities in each other. I teach Shakespeare, though I am an avid reader of many genres, and I have to say that Ms. O'Banyon understands human nature in a way I rarely see portrayed by today's writers of historical fiction. Her characters, Caroline Richmond and Wade Renault transcend 19th-century Western/Southern culture and would be believable in any time period. (Their banter is reminiscent of the witty exchanges between Beatrice and Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing) Here's to you, Ms. O'Banyon, the Bard of the Brazos!
