This is the first Alexis Harringto novel I have read. I will definitely be searching for others. Though at times I grew a little weary of Althea's sacrificing herself for Olivia, it made the end that much sweeter. She painted very real characters in Jeff and Althea--and made you feel the pain that had held them both captives for so long. A must for anyone wanting to read a sweet gentle love story!

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.In 1880 Decker Prairie, Oregon, Althea Ford enters town, a place she hates visiting because she realizes that the townsfolk look at and her sibling as though they were crazy. She detests coming to the town because everyone not so subtly keeps reminding her that her mama committed suicide and her beloved sister Olivia suffers from spells. However, it is only in town that she will find someone to help work her run down farm. Former Sheriff Jefferson Hicks drowns his sorrows in a whisky bottle to bury the guilt eating at his gut caused by a fatal shooting. He hits a new low when a local farmer catches him stealing eggs and presses charges. Instead of locking up Jefferson, Sheriff Will Mason assigns his old friend to work for four months on the Ford spread.
As Will and Allie work closely together on the farm, they find salvation and fall in love. However, the frail Olivia, encouraged by their now deceased father, grew up totally dependent on her older sister. She cannot abide the developing relationship between her ¿guardian¿ and the former law enforcement official. Olivia does everything in her power to break the lovebirds apart. A murder occurring on the Ford property casts doubts on the innocence of Will and Allie and threatens to destroy their blossoming affair.
Alexis Harrington is quickly earning a reputation for her relationship dramas that focus on love¿s ability to heal the most scarred souls. Her latest novel, ALLIE¿S MOON is a deeply moving western romance with an exciting story line that is clearly character-driven. The lead protagonists are scarred from life¿s lessons until they find one another and teach each other how to heal. Olivia is an interesting but complex secondary player who challenges those around her. Ms. Harrington has spun another triumphant book that demonstrates that true love can be the salvation of lives¿ walking wounded.

It was an ok story. Not the best by this author though. The character of Olivia was fascinating but not developed enough. The rest was predictable.
