5.0 out of 5 stars Canham delivers another first-rate historical romance, 4 Jan 1999
By A Customer
As a longtime fan of Marsha Canham, I was thrilled by the release of PALE MOON RIDER. Canham writes vivid, complex, lusty romances with some of the best heroes and heroines in the genre. Highwayman Tyrone Hart is a prototypical Canham hero -- strong, yet willing to be vulnerable in matters of the heart. Renee D'Anton, a survivor of the French revolution, is his perfect match. When I've finished a Canham romance I always feel that I not only know her characters, but will remember them. The little thrill I felt upon mention of the name Eduard FitzRandwulf, the hero of her novel IN THE SHADOW OF MIDNIGHT, is proof of her characters' staying power. In PALE MOON RIDER, Marsha only made one small, eminently forgivable faux pas: she had Tyrone playing Chopin before Chopin was born!

3.0 out of 5 stars Ms. Canham's Books Not Short on Description, 20 April 1999
By A Customer
Another great story idea from Ms. Canham, but it was weaker than The Blood of Roses. The end was too rushed and the middle too drawn out. It was easy to fall in love with Tyrone, however. It was nice to see him soften more as time went on. It would have been nice to get to know Renee a little more deeply. Perhaps we will be surprised with a sequal that will further tell the story. It would be nice to see Renee's brother have his own story as well. I still recommend it, though, because Ms. Canham pays such intricate attention to detail that you can see the characters, the landscape, and feel for the characters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely an enjoyable read...., 10 April 1999
By A Customer
I have always been a Marsha Canham fan and this book does not disappoint. Tyrone and Renee's story, as has been commented upon before, is not your typical highwayman story. That she does not follow the "Robinhood" theme as most of these stories do, is quite refreshing. Tyrone is a great charater who has depth and personallity, unlike most of the cardboard cutout characters which are written today. I also appreciated the fact that Ms. Canham does not forget what her characters have done in the story. Tyrone is hurt, as the story progresses, we see how this handicaps him in dealing with the "bad guys". He limps, and breaks out in a sweat, etc...he doesn't miraculously recover and fight evil with nary a misstep. Most authors forget that no matter how great their heros are, they are still human, Tyrone is definitely human.

Such care is also taken with Renee. I felt that her character was not quite as strong as Tyrone's but there is depth to her. Fighting her way through a war torn France, especially as a highly placed aristocrat, was not an easy task. Her brother was left mute at the horrors he witnessed, and she had to deal with that as well. Renee had help, which leads us to the secondary characters of the story, who really made the whole plot come together. The plot was richly interwoven with dispicible deeds, great writing and colorful characters.

I only have a few small problems with the story. After going through so much trouble to record the feelings of horror that the aristocrats in France must have felt and the care that they took to try and secure their futures outside France, I felt it was a bit shabbily done that Ms. Canham misplaces (in time)someone as famous as Chopin. I also felt she rushed the end. I don't want to give away the plot, but, what happened to the uncle? Are we waiting for a sequel with her brother to right that wrong? A brief mention was made by Roth that Paxton ran, but there was no confirmation of this and no real care about it. I realize they had plenty of money but wouldn't you try to find him on principle? Anyway, this was a great read, so don't miss it!!!
