Moonfeather

by Judith E. French

"I claim this captive as my own..."

With those words, Moonfeather brazenly stepped forward to save the golden-haired Englishman from the flames of Shawnee vengeance . . . by marrying him! An hour later, Viscount Brandon, son and heir of the powerful Earl of Kentington, was lying facedown on the floor of Moonfeather's wigwam, spared a fiery death . . . to endure the exquisite torment of sharing a bed with the tantalizing beauty who had rescued him.

But Moonfeather, the abandoned "lovechild" of a Scottish earl, had no intention of consummating her marriage to the reckless Englishman . . . whose intense sky-blue eyes promised days and nights of pleasures beyond imagining. Yet even as conflicts raged, heated passions turned to whisperings of love. And, determined to present his exotic bride to his family, Brandon brought her to England, where they faced treachery and danger . . . and the need to use the legendary powers of Moonfeather's enchanted necklace.

[Erica · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love the second book in this series, but I had never read any of the others until now. I would lean more towards3.5 stars. The story line was good, but a lot, and I mean a LOT of things happened in this book. I'm planning to read the entire series and wonder if I'll feel differently about the second book when I reread it.i

Brandon is the heir of an Earl in England and in charge of a tobacco plantation in Maryland. He is captured by a Shawnee tribe as an enemy to be burned at the stake but is rescued by the half-Scottish half-Shawnee maiden, Moonfeather, as she is the “peace woman” of the tribe and cannot condone burning at the stake. She claims Brandon as her husband in order to save his life. Thus began a strange courtship between the two and a conflict as well because Brandon wants to go back to his plantation and Moonfeather desires to remain with the Shawnee to be near her son from a prior marriage. There is further trouble from a disgruntled Shawnee warrior who wants Moonfeather as his wife and his attack on Brandon causes her and Brandon to leave the village to escape to Maryland. The rest of the tale involves a journey to England, treacherous relatives who want to end Brandon’s life, and Moonfeather’s escape to go back to America. It is a thrilling tale filled with intrigue, danger, adventure and romance!
