"The plot has imaginative twists and turns, and the backgrounds are lush and evocative. It's good, satisfying fun." -Publishers Weekly She's one thing by day, something else altogether by night...... This description may be from another edition of this product.
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.

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!
