    Ever since the untimely death of Lucy Marsh's father, danger has been on her door step. In order to flee this danger she accepts a proxy marriage when an old friend of her father's, Henry Stanton shows up offering her marriage to his son. She feels as if this is her only chance to care for herself and especially her young brother and sister. But most of all to keep them out of harms way.

    When she arrives in Texas things are not quite what she was led to believe. It seems as if her and her new husband, Nate Stanton have been hood winked by her new father-in-law. Also it seems as if the danger she hoped to leave behind has followed her. Now it is Nate's responsibility to keep his new found family safe.

    What would he be willing to give up to protect them?

    The character of Lucy is a petite young woman that knows nothing about ranching but is more than determined to prove herself. She had no idea how tasking a job it would be. It seemed like every time she turned around her new husband was having to come to her rescue. Had she made a mistake thinking he would accept her when she herself felt like such a failure. She clung to her faith and the word of God and she prayed fervently for God's will in this marriage.

    Nate's character at first was not very nice but when the truth of situation came to light he was very much the gentleman and was determined to take care of his new family. He found Lucy's trials in becoming a ranchers wife amusing and exhausting at times. He was more patient with her than she was of herself. He was also very patient and caring toward her brother and sister. He was proving to be a good example for her brother and father image to both her brother and sister.

    This is a wonderful story of faith, love and acceptance in a growing relationship between two people. There are some shocking evidence that pops up out of the blue and hearts are broken. But with faith and love hearts will forgive and heal with God's help.

    I highly recommend this book.

    I gladly rate this book a 5 out of 5.

    Lucy Marsh has nothing left and no one to turn to. Deserted by their mother with her little brother and sister to take care of, she is at the end of her rope when an old schoolboy of her lately deceased father shows up at her door. Agreeing to a proxy marriage to his son is about the last thing she wants to do but feeling she has no other way to save her siblings she embarks on a journey of a lifetime. Little does she know that the trouble she thought she left behind follows her all the way to Texas. There is mystery, romance, and suspense in Blue Moon Promise, everything I love in a book. This peculiar makeshift family gave me pause at first, but Colleen Coble definitely made it work. Lucy was so strong and inspiring. Nate was endearing and protective. Jed was brave and devoted to his sisters. Eileen was so cute and funny. All the characters in this book were just so likable! Then there is all the suspense, which was at every corner. Something is constantly happening and I can guarantee you won't get bored. Not only that but this book inspired me! I love it when a book teaches you a little something and this one really made me think. I think it's most important message was that God can turn anything bad into something good. I got so swept up in the story I think I may have squealed one or two times. All I can say about this book was that I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and I cannot wait for a #2 in the series!

    A delicious blend of historical and suspense, I was reader-giddy all the way to the end. Page one finds Lucy in dire straits, definitely a great hook to catch my interest but Coble doesn't leave it there. She ratchets up the tension by throwing more disasters at poor Lucy in rapid fire succession. What's a girl to do but get out of town?

    Which brings us to Gothic meets Wild West. Wow. This book took my breath away. That sinister Gothic vibe shadows Lucy all the way to Texas. Of course, she doesn't believe it at first and then tries to figure suspicious happenings out all by herself (Lucy has some control issues.) A true Gothic Romance heroine. And that obviously exasperates our stunning cowboy hero, Luke. Their marriage is off to a rocky start yet Luke can't help but be captivated by his unexpected wife. Their romance is sweetly tentative with just enough toe-curling to set my heart a stuttering. All in all a blissful read -- and bonus -- it's the first in the Under Texas Stars series which means there's more enjoyable reading to look forward to.
