Long Night Moon

Theresa Weir does it again with a heartbreaking story of a battered woman and a hardened, homeless, ex-con. Sound interesting?......even if it doesn't, believe me....it is! This author has just not ever had the notoriety that she deserves. Her contemporary novels are some of the most thought provoking and engaging of the entire genre, and her books never disappoint. Long Night Moon is no exception to this rule. Domestic Violence is a tough topic and Weir delivers a look into one woman's nightmare. Weir doesn't take any shortcuts and we see, up close, the cycle of abuse. Sara's story will haunt you. Nash is also a man with a painful past. He is a recluse, not letting anyone too close.....untill Sara. The friendship and ultimate relationship that develops between Nash and Sara is what really sets this book apart from others and makes it memorable. These characters deserve their HEA!

Because I love poignant, achy stories, a dear friend recommended Theresa Weir's LONG NIGHT MOON. Was I disappointed? Not really! Did I find it poignant? Not really! Did I find it irresistible? In a painful, unhappy way . . . YES . . . but perhaps 'overwhelming' would be a better word! Mini Synopsis: Nash Audubon has been to Hell and by his own choice he continues to live there. His outlook can only be described as careless and embittered, for to live his life any other way would mean Nash Audubon would surely lose his mind! Sara Ivy also lives in Hell. Is it her choice? In a terrible way . . . yes! Sara Ivy's existence is wretched and now with a little help from Nash Audubon, her situation just got worse! Or did it? To the outside world, beautiful Sara Ivy lives the good life. She is married to a very wealthy, attentive husband; who seems to dote on her every whim, or so tabloid reporter Nash Audubon thinks! But he is wrong, the sharp-worded newsman is very wrong; for it seems, Sara's thoughtful societal hubby beats the stuffing out of her, whenever he is unhappy and it seems Mr. Ivy is always unhappy! And if that isn't monstrous enough, every authoritative person is under his social influence. So Sara struggles alone! Very alone . . . until Nash Audubon senses things are not right! Reviewer's Comments: LONG NIGHT MOON is a well-crafted story thanks to Theresa Weir's skillful pen. The storyline may not be the sort of thing I generally seek; yet I must confess Ms. Weir's accomplishment kept me involved. Would I recommend this read? You know, I don't know! Although LONG NIGHT MOON is uncomfortable, it is extremely insightful! So I'm giving LONG NIGHT MOON my highest page-turner rating of B+. But more important, thanks to LONG NIGHT MOON I will hunt down more from this very fine author, which means everything from this reader! Just a quick note: In the opening pages, Ms. Weir wrote, "To used bookstores - thanks for keeping those out-of-print books in circulation." I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment - THANKS USED BOOKSTORES EVERYWHERE! Grade: B+ Sensuality: Warm MaryGrace Meloche.

There is just something so real about her stories and the people. You cant help but like sara and feel for her. Nick was a little slow in realizing there was something very wrong in Sara's life and that she was more than just the rich trophy wife figure that the world saw. her husband was very creepy. Weir did a good job of portraying him and I think the night Sara walked into the lake hoping to never come out was a very strong image of how hopeless she felt.

To the world, Sara Ivy had it all: a handsome husband, a manicured estate, the kind of ethereal beauty that drew all eyes to her. So when hard-bitten reporter Nash Audubon crashed a party to get an interview, all he expected was another run-in with a bored socialite. Instead, he got the surprise of his life. For Sra Ivy possessed an innocence that had no place in a sophisticated world of Chicago high society. Tempted to learn her deepest secrets, he followed her into the night...and in one dangerous moment discovered the real Sara- sexy, brave, and heartbreakingly defiant. She was ready to end the charade of her marriage to a brutal man, and Nash would more heaven and earth to cherish and protect her -even if it cost him his life. (text taken from book's cover)A powerful, passionate tale that will surely engross you. Fast paced with plenty of passion and action, reading Long Night Moon is like watching a movie. An original story with a different hero and a different heroine. Both have suffered very much in their life and both are embitterd by life.....
