Under The Desert Moon
Disguised as a prim schoolteacher, Aubrey Granger travels to Santa Fe to avenge a past wrong and encounters Christian McBride, a man who had been jailed for a crime he did not commit. As reviewed by Kathe Robin of Romantic "Under The Desert Moon is the 'Silverado' of Western romances. [She] has incorporated every wonderful scene from every memorable Western into one extraordinary novel. With the vivid prose, vibrant descriptions, a delightful cast of characters (including Billy the Kid), fast-paced action and a strong story (to say nothing of the wonderful romance), readers will be spellbound. Ms Canham demonstrates the rare ability to breathe life into characters and situations in every historical era and setting. Yippee!!"Multiple Award-Winning USA Today bestselling author

At this book’s 96% point, Aubrey makes an admission:
“I’m sorry,” she said. “It was all my fault. I should have told you … everything … right from the beginning.”
And that was why this book lost a star in my rating. She definitely should have, anyone with any sense would have, and not doing it risked her life and the lives of people she cared about and made herself look stubborn and stupid in the process. A brilliant card sharp she might be, but a brilliant strategist she most definitely is not, and her very late admission didn’t win her any points from me.
The first half of this book is brilliant, though. In an emotionally brutal prologue, 23-year-old Aubrey experiences a frequent nightmare in which 13-year-old Aubrey witnesses her father being murdered, her mother raped and murdered, and the intruders chasing her down to do the same to her. Saved only by her younger brothers’ diversion which allowed her to escape, Aubrey wandered the desert around Santa Fe wounded and alone, until she found shelter with a shiftless, aging thief and con man who taught her the tricks of his trade.
Awakening from the nightmare, Aubrey packs and boards the morning’s stage to Santa Fe. It’s time to avenge her family.
The stagecoach journey introduces a bevy of interesting characters, including a handsome plainsman named Christian McBride, recently paroled from Leavenworth, and many surprises along the route, including a thrilling Comanche attack spearheaded by Quanah Parker, an actual historical figure. Marsha Canham’s books, whether set on the high seas or English ballrooms or the American Old West, are meticulously researched and the history is fascinating.
The second half of the book isn’t quite as good, except for a slam bang, action-packed and violent ending that came down to the wire for our book’s protagonists. Unfortunately, before that terrific ending, the reader finds out that the heroine’s revenge plan is for shit. The Grand Scheme was So it was a Bad Grand Scheme and her refusal to trust Christian with her story cuts her off from other possibilities and nobody is being careful enough in this dangerous town and it’s no wonder things devolve into chaos and people get hurt. I would have preferred smarter characters doing smarter things and more cooperation between Aubrey and Christian.
But yay! The villain got what he so richly deserved.

Aubrey Granger has waited ten long years to grow up and the chance return to Santa Fe to destroy the man she blames for sending his henchmen to kill her family and burn down their home (she was left for dead). Disguised as a plain schoolmarm for the stagecoach ride she meets up with just-out-of-Leavenworth-Prison Christian McBride (he's a hottie), and he seems to be the only one on the stagecoach that sees through her disguise and suspects she's up to more than teaching kids when she gets to town. The journey from Kansas is not without its ups and downs and some tense moments with the Indians, but Aubrey finally arrives in Santa Fe and begins her planned downfall of nefarious business man Maxwell Fleming - and Christian is none too pleased to find her apparently thick as thieves with the man he blames for sending him up the river for trumped up murder charges.
That's the basic run down and you really don't need to know much more going in, there are just too many surprises and plot twists to even try to recap it all. This is very much a historical romance and don't plan on taking things too seriously, because I'm fairly positive the author had her tongue firmly planted in her cheek while writing it. The barbs and one liners flew as much as the bullets did (we even get a very young Billy the Kid), but hats off to Lily Colorado for getting all the best lines. There is plenty of steamy sex between our pair, along with adult language so I definitely don't recommend this for the younger set, but those wanting a lighter read that still contains a real plot along with a healthy dose of romance might want to give this one a whirl.
Oh, and loved the epilogue and glad that little issue was brought back up and resolved.

Marsha Canham has described this novel as her foray into "Silverado territory". What she came up with in Under the Desert Moon is actually much better written than the storyline in Silverado, and steamy enough to fog up the stagecoach windows on even the coldest desert nights.
Aubrey Blue is a woman with a past: a cardsharp, a hustler, a tragic heroine, on a very personal mission that she's well aware just might cost her her life. Disguised as a spectacle wearing schoolmarm, she's traveling on a westbound stage to her final showdown with the man who murdered her family and destroyed her life, when she meets Christian McBride, a hunky (if slightly dusty) plainsman with a past, and a personal mission of his own involving the same villain. In true Marsha Canham style, Aubrey and Christian take one look at each other, sparks fly, and the adventure begins...
I loved this book. I loved the fact that Christian notices Aubrey immediately, in spite of the presence of a blonde bombshell who tries almost as hard to get his attention as Aubrey tries to avoid it. The plot twists were as unexpected as they were engrossing, the bad guys as nasty as they get, the love scenes steamy and well written. Canham has shown time and again that she can write, and write well, in any romance sub-genre she tries her hand at, and while I've never been a big fan of western-themed romances, this one is one of my very favorite romance novels, and has a permanent home on my keeper shelf. VERY highly recommended!

This one surprised me. I am not a cowboy fan, so this is the first western/cowboy novel I have ever read. The author is the only reason I gave it a shot. Canham did not fail to deliver. At first I read reluctantly and it was hard to put my mind into the place and time and submerge into the story. I was thinking, "well, she had to have some books that weren't too good, this must be one", but still I read on. I don't know of any other author I have read that can create a perfect hero, but Marsha Canham can. As the story develops, you get dragged under and the next thing you know you are reading about a stage coach under a Comanche attack and the ride begins. I am not saying that this was as good as her Scottish trilogy, nothing is, but this was really good. I loved the hero and I loved heroine, not to mention the secondary characters. Equally excellent at writing villains, this story had some nasty ones. I found that half way through the book I was unable to put it down. Read until 5 am. This book however is quite graphic in details and most likely the treatment of the women were the way they were treated for that time so don't expect rainbow and rose peddles, but there is a great romance and there is a ton of action and violence. I wish she had wrote more books and I wish all her books were digital, so be prepared if you fall in love with MC's writing style as I have, tracking down some of her books will be a bit of a task. Thank god for Biblio.com
The story focuses around revenge. The two main character meet by chance on a stagecoach ride and the relationship is very interesting to read. The characters are all so rich you cannot help but put faces on them almost immediately. Christian is to die for, William Bonnie makes an appearance which was so cool, Stink Finger the coach drive was brilliant, and Aubrey was perfect. Great read would highly recommend.

4.5 stars. June is Western HR month on Regan Walker’s monthly blog so I chose to start with a great author. This is an excellent western with some twists in the plot towards the end! Every book I have read by M. Canham has been great. I own almost all of hers books and I doubt I’ll be disappointed by any of the others I have yet to read. I highly recommend her books! She is truly one of the best authors I’ve ever read.
October 17, 2024
Under the Desert Moon was barely okay.. there was attraction between the MCs and their story was interesting but the plot of vengeance and continuing shootouts, gunfights etc left me cold. Way too much action compared to character development. Actually there wasn’t any character arc .. at least I don’t think so. I skim read the last 50 pages .. glad they finally got their HEA.

Aubrey Blue is this close to avenging her family. There's just the last leg of her journey between her and her goal, a journey that will take her through the desert, fending off Comanche attacks, unwanted drunken advances from one of her travelling companions, and not-so-unwanted advances from another, a former convict who's after the same man she is, Christian McBride...
Marsha Canham never disappoints. Be it set in the Highlands, on the high seas, or way back in the medieval times, her stories never fail to entertain and/or intrigue the reader.
This one was no different. Set in the wild-wild West in the late 19th century, it featured everything one comes to expect from a western, and what I've come to expect from Ms Canham.
Old feuds for land, money, power, and/or women, gunslingers, chases through the desert, fighting "Injuns", gun fights, saloons...descriptive, evocative narration, wonderful characters, drama galore, and a romance that makes you tingle.
Christian McBride might've been a typical Canham hero (they all pretty much look and act the same), but it was still a pleasure learning about him, discovering the depths of his personality, and watch him topple like a felled oak for the one).
Audrey Blue was rather special. An acquired taste and as much of a puzzle for both her hero and the reader. Some of her choices and decisions were rather incomprehensible (when there were simpler ways to accomplish what she wanted) as was her unwillingness to tell Christian the entire truth. Turns out, she had a good reason for keeping her cards close to her vest, and that reason sure was a doozy.
Together, these two made for quite a couple, with sparks flying every each way whenever they shared a scene, and though the romance might've come across as rather rushed, it was fiery and all-consuming, like romances "of old" are supposed to be (and Ms Canham sure can write a fiery romance).
The rest was just as wonderful, rife with mystery, intrigue and enough suspense to keep the reader engaged, on the edge of the seat and furiously turning pages to learn what would happen next. Multiple villains with multiple motives, each got their well-deserved end, with the most satisfying confrontation offered as cherry on the cake.
Rife with intrigue, wonderful characters with more or less shadowed pasts, revenge-seeking, scorching passion, and stunning imagery, this novel is a must read for all Marsha Canham fans, as well as fans of romance set under the sizzling sun of the frontier or under the glowing desert moon.

This book was well-written and exciting, that's for sure. Very descriptive and graphic with the violence that is characteristic of the Old West. Was a bit long and too drawn out in parts. And while I genuinely liked the heroine, I didn't LOVE the hero. He was just O.K. I felt he was a bit 2-dimensional. We rarely saw things from his perspective. This was a very heroine-centered book, and I tend to prefer somewhat equal time from both characters' points of view.
But generally a great read, and would highly recommend if you're looking for a very suspenseful 'old west' romance.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Book just built and built.... right up to the very end. There were two HUGE mouth dropping twists at the end that you won't see coming. Marsha Canham's writing will keep you glued to the pages. She's brilliant. Very steamy and HOT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I liked the characters and dialogue in this book. And the author has a beautifully descriptive style.
However, I found myself skimming A LOT. It was wordy and dry. The descriptions went on and on and on.....

I read very few westerns, but I would pick up any book by Marsha Canham, I like her that much! There are plenty of reviews on this book, I think Stevie's sums it up quite well. There is a lot of action, adventure, romance and blood and gore! And now Amazon has her out of print books for $2.99.
July 20, 2012
Hot. Sassy. And unable to put down. A real page turner.
October 9, 2012
Very "shoot 'em um cowboy." Fun and sexy. Much too verbose, sometimes felt like a textbook on life in the old west.
June 13, 2013
A perfectly respectable western romance.
The heroine Aubrey watched her family succumb to unimaginable tragedy at the hands of ruthless Santa Fe business man Maxwell Fleming as an adolescent. She is found some days later and taken in by a gambler and sometimes con-man. Some years later, she decides it is time to take her revenge. By adulthood she is a breathtaking beauty (aren't they all?). To exact her revenge she disguises herself on a stage coach as an uptight school-marm. We meet just out of jail hottie Christian McBride who sees through her disguise. Chaos, romance, and adventure ensues.
All in all, not a particularly memorable romance, but it did make for an enjoyable, easy read.

I'm not a fan of cowboy romances, but I am a HUGE fan of Marsha Canham. So, to make my collection of Ms. Canham's books complete, I had to get this book. WOW! I was totally blown away. This is an edge of your seat page turner that kept me guessing (and one nervous wreck) the whole way through. I loved it! And, I never would have guessed this was her very first book. It has all the elements of a classic.
Ms. Canham's books are pure gold and guaranteed great reading. I'm so happy she is writing again. :)

Not bad! Evocatively set on a stagecoach ride ending in Santa Fe. Interesting cast of characters (could have done with even more character development, but it wasn't too lacking) that included numerous secondaries, one of which was Billy the Kid, which should have been cheesy but it was pulled off. Pretty well plotted in two parts plus prologue and epilogue. Smoking hot romance between Aubrey and McBride that didn't jump straight into sex or avowals of love. Good relationship progression that led to some nicely intense moments. I approve.

This was a deliciously and remarkably well written story!
It was soooo goooood!
What more can I say? The story itself was interesting but Marsha Canham's writing was sublime. I gobbled it up, yet I was sorry to see the story end.
Highly, highly recommended. If you're looking for a western historical romance, this is the one!
The errors on the e-copy I had were very distracting but I was able to ignore them. For this one, getting a hard copy would be definitely better.

Marsha Canham is a good writer, but this story did not have enough romance. I liked the hero a lot, but the heroine was too sneaky and untruthful to be compelling. Overall, you won't regret reading this book--but I doubt you'll read it a second time.
July 10, 2021
4 1/2 stars. This was a fun western adventure romance story that kept me reading! The two main characters were great but the side characters especially Dolores with her fantastic lines cracked me up. I kept picturing Berda, the maid from the show Two and a half Men.
March 17, 2016
A 200 pages book written in 500 pages.
June 28, 2025
I really enjoyed this book and had a hard time putting it down. My only critique is that the majority of the pages were devoted to nonstop action, leaving limited space for the development of the romantic storyline. That said, the moments the characters spend together were absolutely scorching and their chemistry was undeniably electric.
October 28, 2025
I think this is the first Marsha Canham that I don't rate 5 stars. I've been on a western kick this year but this one was a tad too over the top. Yes this author really knows how to set the scene be it the Scottish Highlands or Medieval times or pirate ships, but I found myself zoning out in the middle of all the never-ending gunfights and action sequences.
January 1, 2025
Parts of it were really good but it was long and drawn out and lost my interest for several pages at a time.
March 17, 2025
My first from this author and unfortunately she didn’t write any more in this genre! What great read, captivating throughout. Loved the story, wonderful main characters, plus romance and spice.

synopsis:
aubrey's family were killed years earlier. she barely escaped with her life. since then, she has been plotting revenge on the man who killed her family. she boards the stagecoach, dressed as a prim and proper school marm. also on the coach is christian, a man who was wrongfully acused and has been in jail. he, too, is seeking revenge on the man who imprisoned him. when he first sees aubrey, he thinks that there is so much more beneath the surface. as they travel the dangerous route together, they find out that they had more in common than they first thought. by the time they are pinned down by some renegades, christian and aubrey have come to depend on one another. when they finally reach where they are going, though, nothing will stop aubrey from getting her revenge.
what i liked: i liked the relationship between aubrey and christian. i also liked the surrounding characters. aubrey's single-minded purpose got people around her hurt, and i liked that there were consequences to her actions, and that, in the end, she regretted making those choices. christian was supportive and understanding, and put his needs second to aubrey, once he found out what was going on.
what i didn't like: there were quite a few tribulations to go through; the attack, the stagecoach being trapped, christian being shot, aubrey being held prisoner, etc.

I love this author! I’ve read her Pirate series books and was enthralled with the realism she writes into that series. Now, writing about the old west, the drama is also as real as it gets. People die. Women are treated abominably. They are dirty, sweat, and smell. Traveling is atrocious and fraught with danger, from outlaws and perhaps even from traveling companions. Life, especially life in the 1870’s southwest, wasn’t all roses and sunshine. We need realistic portrayals of what happened then and this book fills that need,
Aubrey Granger has been planning revenge on the man who killed her family for a decade. She’s now traveling back to Santa Fe to bring his empire down.
Christian McBride served five years in Leavenworth for a crime he didn’t commit. He’s headed back to Santa Fe to right this wrong.
They’re both targeting the same man, but they don’t know it. Other players, with their own agendas, are on the stage with them to Santa Fe. Their hardships along the route bring them closer together, but will their ultimate goal be successful, or will they play into the hands of their enemy.
Absolutely riveting book. Great dialogue, wonderful characters, and the evocative writing of Ms. Canham draws you right into the time period. I recommend highly.

I first read this book back in 2016 or 2015. And since then I have read this book about a good 20-30 times.
The story is BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN and my nerves and emotions were working double time whenever I had to read this. The writing of this book will make you feel like a Lady Gaga song. It will make you want to wear your cowboy boots and shoot the men who have wronged you while old cowboy music plays in the background.
The female protagonist is such a badass and goes toe-to-toe with the male protagonist and she is UNAPOLOGETIC! Their relationship is filled with such twists and turns and the words will help you picture everything so well. For those who like their sweet and spice together in a book, this will serve you just that.
The plot is EXCELLENT with the BEST plot twists. I can assure you 100% that you will not see it coming!
Apart from that, there's humour, pain, love, redemption, vigilante shit, and so much in this story. If you're wondering whether to read this book or not, TAKE THE JUMP. READ IT! Thank me later.

August 8, 2021I Loved It! Suspenseful and Gripping right from the start. Not your typical Western but Marsha Canham has her own unique writing style were she weaves this trip to the old West with guns blazing on this rollercoaster ride that brims with tension-building twist and turns that swirls down into a vortex of terror, murder Indian attacks and a depraved, malicious enemy and his hired guns terrorizes their victims in Santa Fe. Under the Desert Moon is a heartstopping, edge of your seat story filled with characters that come off the pages and pulls you into their tale, sizzling passion, action packed, with a superb plot and with setting descriptions that will hook you from the start and keep you turning the pages to the very end.
