Moonfire - Anne Clarke March 31, 2008
I enjoyed this book very much. The author quickly pulled me into her world and kept me there pretty much non-stop til I finished the book. My compliments on that feat!!
Joanna is a negotiator working to help bring about peace among warring factions in a star-system far from Earth. All of a sudden, she finds herself kidnapped via beam from her ship and married to a commanding (hunkalicious), irritating (drool-worthy), non-negotiating (gorgeous) neanderthal!
Alex knows he has to marry outside his world as part of the peace accords and since he hasn't been able to get the curvy (stubborn), beautiful (disobedient), and sexy (head-strong) Earth woman out of his mind, isn't it handy that she's been declared compatible by the Match Key? Well...rather than go through the whole courting rigamarole, he'll just order them married and get on with it. No problem, right???
When these two titans clash, it's truly marvelous. While at times I was irritated with both of them, I still heartily enjoyed their meandering path to happiness. Several secondary characters deserve a book of their own and I think the author means/meant? to develop this world more as I was left with lingering curiosity regarding some events in the book. But still a satisfying read and I'll look for more by this author.

I thought the book was well written, and I just loved the delima of the heroine. I did not figure out the plot till then end, and I was surprised at the ending.
Fun Futuristic Romance April 16, 2005

I was excited to see that the sequel to Moonfire has finally been published and decided to read Moonfire again before jumping into the sequel. Once again Anne Clarke took me to an exotic future where two people from different worlds fall in love. I'm a big fan of futuristic romances and always snap them up whenever I find them. Some concentrate on world building at the expense of the romance while others are romances with a bare bones future world. Anne Clarke achieves a good balance between romance and world building and has some laugh out loud humorous scenes. I thoroughly enjoyed re-reading this book and am looking forward to reading the sequel StarJumpers Bride, which is published under the name J.A. Clarke.
 sadly, a poor effort November 13, 2003

I feel bad doing this, since Ms. Clarke put effort into writing a book (one would think), while I am taking the much easier route of tearing it apart. However, in the spirit of fair criticism, I have to say that in my opinion one could fill an entire term paper with what is wrong with this novel. Here are some possible entries:(a) I know that the enjoyment of reading erotic scenes doesn't always depend on good writing. Here, however, it is most certainly hampered by crass writing. In addition to fairly formulaic and stereotypical erotic scenes, which constitute the bulk of this book, we often find stuff like: "He had a brief moment of doubt when he wondered if she would breed less easily because of her daintier size" (p.42); "While she never initiated their lovemaking, she had never refused his advances, except once on the first day of her monthly bleeding." (p.190) And more of the same. (b) The emotions of the two main characters are agonies of pointless and exaggerated misunderstandings. He wants her, but is put off by her cold demeanor; she wants him, but won't yield just for the sake of it. When at last we think they understood each other and sigh with relief, the book goes right back to "he wants her, but...", as if nothing had happened. The reader often wishes the characters would have a long talk about it and move on to more interesting emotions. (c) Although the author makes it painfully clear that the "adventure" part of the plot is as crucial to the book as the dialogue to a porn movie, I was hoping that the "mystery" would be resolved, at least. The whole thing is squeezed in the last 50 pages or so (out of 300) of the book, in which we hear about a strange city, a strange being, and a strange prophecy. At the end of the book, we sort of solve the prophecy, and find nothing about the city, the being, or why the prophecy was important in the history of that planet, for that matter. I am sorry, but I wouldn't recommend this book, unless you really have nothing else to read on a train ride.
What a wonderful suprise! September 12, 2003

I love paranormal/futuristic romances but I am very picky and rarely find new authors that I like but Anne Clark has just been added to my list! I won't write a storyline for this book as others have done so but I thought the book was well done. I will be looking for more books in the future from this author!
