Julie Moffett brings readers the sequel to A Double-Edged Blade. Across a Moonswept Moor is an imaginative tale of love, sacrifice, and commitment.
Northern Ireland, 1997: Fiona Chancellor arrives in Ireland looking for her cousin who has been missing for a year. When she arrives at the quaint antique shop, the last on her list, she shows the charming elf-like owner, Seamus, the double-edged blade belonging to her missing cousin. It has a new inscription that only she and her cousin would understand, and it wasn't there a year ago when she first saw the dagger. She's hoping it holds the key to where her cousin is. Seamus tells Fiona of an Irish legend, and how the dagger is said to be enchanted - magical. Late in the night, Fiona heads out to the one place that may hold the clues to help her find her missing cousin.
Ireland 1649: Scotsman Ian McClaren rides in the dark through Ireland to the castle of friend and Irish rebel leader, Miles O'Bruaidar. O'Bruaidar has been captured by Englishman, Oliver Cromwell, and is expected to be executed. Mile's wife, Faith, needs Ian's help to save her husband. Little does Ian know it will take a British woman with determination to teach him the lesson in compassion and determination when rescuing his friend.
Ms. Moffett's distinctive writing style makes her sequel, Across A Moonswept Moor, a pleasure to read. The characters are delightfully drawn and the dialogue clear. Her natural talents and creative imagination successfully bring this story to life. It's a romantic adventure all romance readers should experience, even if only to see how a dagger, a magical stone ring, and dragon's teeth can lead one to love.

Countess Angelica needs a man who is powerful, strong and clever to protect her from her enemies and King John's wrath. She plots to capture the one man who is all this-the elusive, Robin Hood-style hero known as "The Devil of Midnight."
Nicholas St. Clair is none to happy to be trussed up like a sacrificial lamb as he is presented to the lady, but once she tells him her tale he agrees to her charade-that they pretend to be husband and wife. Nicholas has heard the rumors that Angel killed her husband, but he finds it difficult to believe.
Angel must prove she is innocent of the crime and if "marrying" the Devil is what it takes then she'll sell her soul for her freedom. However, her plans go awry when she and Nicholas fall in love.

Then Fortune meets Williams brother Kieran, whos been disinherited because he is a devout Catholic. William may be the logical choice for a husband, but Kieran is the one who arouses her passion. Will William stand in the way?
With the plot centering on the historical basis for the Irish Problem, the animosity between Protestants and Catholics, Ms. Small brings a new dimension to a world problem. Only someone of Ms. Smalls caliber could create such a marvelous sensual read and make history relevant. BESIEGED does just what the very best of historical romance should do: educate, stimulate and arouse. SENSUAL (Mar., 333 pp.)

Medieval Period. He was known throughout the kingdom as Hawk, legendary predator of the battlefield and the boudoir. No woman could refuse his touch, but no woman ever stirred his heart--until a vengeful fairy tumbled Adrienne de Simone out of modern-day Seattle and into medieval Scotland. Captive in a century not her own, entirely too bold, too outspoken, she was an irresistible challenge to the sixteenth-century rogue. She had a perfect "no" on her perfect lips for the notorious laird, but Hawk swore she would whisper his name with desire, begging for the passion he longed to ignite within her. Not even the barriers of time and space would keep him from winning her love. Despite her uncertainty about following the prompting of her own passionate heart, Adrienne's reservations were no match for Hawk's determination to keep her by his side....

Lillis of Wellewyn was the most beautiful woman Alexander had ever seen. A bride out of legend. Yet never could he claim her as his own, for he had vowed to let her go when the last of his people were free from her fathers tyranny. Alexander Baldwin was known as an honorable knight, yet to Lillis he was nothing more than a bully who had married her for her dowered lands. A man who had not only made her his prisoner, but had slowly, and ruthlessly, stolen her heart.

This is not a Romance. It is an historical account of Anne Bonny and Mary Reads lives. It has sex, violence and gore.
I found it to be a riveting story of what these two women would go through to have the freedom they so desired.
It did not romanticize piracy but answered some questions I had about the subject.
The author has written Non-Fiction on pirates.
I would rate it R for violence and sex.

A Child's Garden of Verses was slowly put together by Tobert Lous Stevenson as a diversion from his fictional works-as his wife comments, he plucked a blossom here and there until it was first published in 1885. Based largely on his own childhood it is an inspiring collection which has captured the imaginations of children for generations.
