Of all the books historical and contemporary I have read, there are few I really love and keep. Of those, this is MY FAVOURITE! I have it in a well-used paperback, but was delighted to find it in hardback.
WOW!! Anne Stuart is always SUPER, but this one is absolutely a knockout!!!
Annie Sutherland finds fast out her life was built on nothing but lies. Her father has been murdered. The former head of the CIA hit squad (though she does not know this), he left her instructions, that she should seek out his former 'pet' James McKinley...and man she thought she knew, and once even fell in love with.
Only, nothing is as it seems; nothing was as it seemed. James is holding up on an island, looks like a man haunted by demons. Gone is the conservative bureaucrat she adored, leaving her facing a tortured fugitive - but one that is armed and extremely dangerous. Suddenly, the Texas accent is gone and in it's place an Irish brogue, hinting he hold secrets that could mean her life.
Annie and James are thrown together on a cross-country trek, which eventually leads to Ireland and back again to the US, all on the quest to solve the murder of her father. Is James a cherish lover or the man assigned to kill her?
Stuart crafted a knock out of a book that should not be missed.

A twisting tale, and a unique romance.
3 Aug 1999
Format:Paperback
A master of the psychosis that rules the human mind, Stuart puts a fresh twist on the darker side of romance. Suspicion, murder and mayhem are interwoven with a strong sexual attraction between the two characters. Who to trust and who to love never become quite clear until the end. A very good novel from a writer who never disappoints.

a scary, violent, and seductive novel of romance and mystery
13 Aug 1999
Format:Hardcover
Who killed Annie's father, and why,is the question to be answered by this very unique novel. Is James Annie's savior, or her killer? Even though you think you know the answers, the story pulls you in, and doesn't let go until the very last word. Anne Stuart's Moonrise does seduce the reader as well as the protagonists.
