This review is from: Moonlight on Water (Zebra Ballad Romance) (Paperback)
Moonlight on Water is a pleasant read with good characters.

SHE SPINS A NEAT STORY!, October 4, 2002
This review is from: Moonlight on Water (Zebra Ballad Romance) (Paperback)
This story brngs Wyatt Colton to Haven, Indiana in 1876 shortly after Emma and Noah are married.
Here he meets Rachel Browning from River's Haven, just down the road from Haven somewhere near the Ohio River. This community is considered strange in Haven and people are suspecious of the residents and their considered immoral practices.
Rachel was allowed to take into her care, little Katherine, also known as Kitty Cat by her friends from the Orphan Train.
Rachel has a fear of child bearing because of her relatives dying in childbirth, so she figures that Kitty Cat will be her only chance to have a child to love.
Kitty Cat forms a friendship with Wyatt and his partner, Horace and takes off most every chance she gets to visit them and her friend, Sean O'Dell. Kitty Cat is approximately six years old.
Rachel must help heal and take care of Colton and Horace when their boat, The Ohio Star, is set on fire - Noah Sawyer and Sean helps to rescue Rachel and Kitty Cat from the river.
Ah, you must follow the action after the Centennial celebration and the resolution of the conflict between Rachel and Wyatt and his no commitment idea [neither one wishes to marry].
My only problem is the liscense the authors take with the morality of the times. Although most women may have been aware of sex, they were very circumspect in their deportment. They may have thought about hoping in bed, but their fear of ostracism would have prevented most actions not to mention their folks probably would have killed them.
Very entertaining story and excellently written but just like all the others with premarital sex. Of course it helped me skip through a lot of parts for a faster read.
Definitely recommended but a little bit of the same O, same O!
I wish the authors would get a bit more original in the romance department or give us more action.
