Customer Reviews

One of my top ten guilty pleasures...

Moonstruck Madness was the first romance book I ever read. I look at it with a certain amount of nostalgia and fondness. A friend of mine, lent it to me to read in 6th grade and I never gave it back. In fact, I still have that copy and like others, have read it to shreds. This book is probably why I'm addicted to historical "bodice-rippers". What makes this particular romance novel appealing is that it's set in the early to mid-1700's and it's not the typical regency romance at all. Is there anyone else who's tired of boring balls, Hyde Park and Gretna Green? In fact, McBain is one of those authors whose books very comfortably straddles that line between being historical fiction or historical romance because her books are very well researched and the historical events and places in her novels are as much in the forefront as the characters themselves. If you liked this book and your looking for more than the usual modern romance you should try reading: Kathleen Woodwiss, Rosemary Rogers, Anya Seton, Elswyth Thane, Dorothy Dunnett, Diana Gabaldon, and Phillipa Gregory.

Sexy, breathtaking adventure!

Ms. McBain, author of the wonderful "Tears of Gold" gives readers another treat with yet another strong-willed heroine and irresistible hero. Sabrina Verrick, despite her youth, takes responsibility for her abandoned and impoverished family and becomes a female Robin Hood to help them survive. Lucien Dominick, in desperate need of a bride, pulls Sabrina out of one scrape after another and sparks fly! An entertaining and thrilling romance and adventure you won't want to miss!

Lovely story

By the day she was Lady Sabrina Verrick, exquisite belle of high society. By night she was a criminal, Bonni Charlie, the lawless highwayman whose notoriety rang the length and breadth of the 18th century England.Wounded and on the run, hunted like an animal through the night, Sabrina's wild career drove her at last into the power of one man who was not afriad to tame her. Brutal, arrogant, he would hurt her, betray her, subdue her free spirit - but never admit that he loved her... (text refers to book's back cover)A very enjoyable book. Action packed and sensual too. I really enjoyed reading it. One of the best. I highly recommend it.

Moonstruck Madness

I read this book years ago in my late teens and literally reread it over and over until it fell apart. I am now trying to obtain another copy and hope very much to find one. This story is absolutely perfect. A strong female heroine, with a lot of vitality, proves to be humorous match for the devil-may-care hero. Absolutely love the highwayman(woman) scenerio. A must read for any romantic genre lover!

High English adventure and romance!

A wonderful tale of a young women and her family strugling to make ends meet, when she decides to take up highway robbery. What follows is an entertaining, rich and complete story that will stay with you and make you smile for years to come. Laurie McBain is one of those authors you will collect and teasure.
