Comanche Moon

This was prolly the BEST book I've ever read. The characters are well developed. Virginia really took her time with this book. I strongly recommend it!!!

I've never before enjoyed books centered around abduction by Indians, but this book convinced me that such a plot can be very intriguing if done correctly. I was swept away from the beginning. The author has done a magnificent job of portraying a character torn between his white heritage and his Indian heritage. And after the first chapter, who wouldn't root for this man anyway? All I can say is that I couldn't wait to turn the next page... and the next... and the next. Of course, I'd recommend this book to anyone.

I bought this in 1993 when it first came out in paperback. Zachary Banning is a half breed who leaves his Texas home at the age of 14 when his step-father can't stand the sight of him and he learns his true heritage. Deborah Hamilton is from Natchez, Mississippi and has come to the Territory to wed a Spanish man who's rushed and pawing manner just slightly irritate her. A Comanche raid occurs on her wedding night and she is abducted by Spotted Pony and taken to the village. Zach under his Indian name of Hawk now, sees her and barters horses for her with Spotted Pony. Like all Indian Romances, Deborah learns the ways of the Comanche as she becomes more intrigued with Hawk. Virginia Brown is a wonderful writer of intrigue, suspense and romance rolled into one story!
