I am reading simple bodice rippers to alleviate shittiness going on in real life, but I guess there is no such a thing as good, believable writing when it comes to romance genre. Pale Moon Rider could have been decent if the book was edited. Canham will introduce a fast paced scene where the hero is bleeding to death, only to jolt you into a snail crawl so that unimportant characters can laboriously explain to each other something that has been already established, or give you a lecture on history of a town. And never mind the whiny, self-pitying heroine and her slender legs and large silver tears.
Okay, now that I've finished this gets a meh. I never really got invested with the characters, particularly the dashing hero. The bad guys are SUPER EXTREMELY VERY BAD, the heroine is unceasingly described as pale and slender and in possession of pale and slender limbs/throat/whatever, and the hero has lots of scars. It just wasn't for me. The writing is fine, and if you're a fan of historical romance/highwaymen/the aftermath of the French Revolution, it might work better for you.
Thoughts while reading:
Man, this ebook cover is terrible. The book is markedly less terrible so far, but I'm still not totally sold yet. The heroine's plight reminds me a tiny bit of Paula Volsky's Illusion, but I loved that book so perhaps this one is appealing less because of the comparison.
