SHE RETURNED TO THE ISLAND TO CLAIM HER LAND, HER FREEDOM—AND A FORBIDDEN, TENDER LOVE
Lovely Elyse was a child when her father's death left her sole heir to a vast plantation on the lush island of Jamaica.
Raised in England by scheming relatives anxious to claim her wealth, highborn Elyse planned a daring escape—and fled to her beloved home in the Caribbean.
Then she saw Brace Denham—the handsome convict's son she had once adored as a brother—and now, to her surprise, desired as a man. Bewildered, she watched as be fought against his love for her. Impassioned, she fought for the love his pride would deny.

A fascinating story!
This story fascinated me beyond words. It was set in an exotic Caribbean world of a bygone era and I was enchanted to read about the plantations and the local magic rituals among many other things. The irresistible sexual tension between Elyse and Brace had me turning the pages thirstily, especially in the beginning when misunderstandings and Brace's hard front made it impossible for the two to express their deep love for each other. I found myself hating Elyse's evil aunt and uncle, and her anguish for what harm they might cause her next felt palpable inside me. The climax was fantastic, with many twists and turns along the way, and wonderful revelations at the end. By reading this book I felt like I'd traveled to Jamaica and witnessed it all first hand... this was a truly exhilarating journey. Quite a feat, and well done to Monica Barrie for that! I look forward to reading more from this author (I was given a free copy to read in exchange for an honest review).

Silver Moon By Monica Barrie
Elyse, raised in England is left a plantation in Jamaica when her Father dies. She decides to leave England and her overbearing greedy family and go to Jamaica. Once there she reconnects with Brace, a man she once looked at as a brother. The two fall for each other. But things are not so simple for them. Will the act on there feelings for each other? Or will they go their separate ways?
The story moves at a fast pace, the plot is intriguing, the characters are likable. The setting in (mostly) Jamaica adds a tropical flair, the writing is good and pulled me into the story. I felt satisfied after the story ended. I highly recommend Silver Moon to those who love romance.
(I suggest to readers 18+ due to sexual content)
