When night fell on the lawless streets of old San Francisco, Matthew Covington—seemingly just another wealthy society idler—became the mysterious crime-fighter known as the Black Bandit. Nothing could tempt him to reveal his secret identity, until the English gentleman met Georgia Waterhouse, whose pseudonymous newspaper accounts had made his daring exploits famous. He was coming to care deeply for this woman, who shared his passionate devotion to justice—and the Lord—but she could never know he was her shadow-shrouded hero. What would become of their growing love if he revealed the truth that lay behind the mask…?

5.0 out of 5 stars Masked by Moonlight. I loved it!
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2011

What a charming and well crafted story. I loved it!

I have read quite a few books by Steeple Hill and this defiantly has to be one of my favorites. A refreshing tale about an English gentleman fighting crime in the lawless streets of 19th century San Francisco under the cover of night, his identity concealed behind a mask and known only as the Black Bandit. I loved the sweet romantic tale of the gentleman behind the mask, Matthew Covington, and Miss Georgina Waterhouse. Allie Pleiter has written a story that kept me reading from start to end added with a good Christian theme. As soon as I read the libray copy I came onto Amazon and bought my own. I will certainly look forward to reading this again and more of her books in the future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet

This was just a sweet, fun book to read. Matthew was a sweetie who liked to play with exotic toys and fell for a lovely girl. After he saves a young boy from some brutal men, the boy spreads his story until Georgia finally writes a story in her brother's paper. Hence the bandit was born. Matthew made everything more interesting by carrying out the bandit's stories as they appeared.

The romance was sweet. I felt bad for Georgia having such a rotten brother, but we can't choose our family.

I'm excited that there is a sequel to this book that cover's the boy's story.

2.0 out of 5 stars Masked by a clever title
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2008

I'm not going to say this was the worst book of my life. But I will say it was miles away from the best.

The premise is this: Handsome man, wild at heart, feels the pressure of the family business. Matthew Covington, away from England checking on a branch of the family company, is in San Fransisco. The pressure of business drives him to strange releases of energy...like wielding a whip and sword. On one particular evening he saves a little boy, a victim of thieves. The boy runs off telling others of the "bandit" who saved him.

Georgia Waterhouse, volunteer at the Grace House (a mission house) hears the the story of the bandit from the little boy. She believes it to be a tale but realizes that in a city of corruption such a story could fill people with hope. So she begins writing a fictional tale in her brothers paper (under a phony male name).

Her brother is corrupt and only sees dollar signs and yada yada yada. There is a reverend trying to show the "bandit" the Way.

The problem actually wasn't in the story itself. At first I was worried it was going to be like a historical comic book Spiderman or Superman... you know, where the heroine pulls a Louis Lane "Who could it be behind the mask?" I was happy to find I was wrong on this account. The story had a nice twist in it... you could sense it coming but you weren't quite sure what it was.

My problem with this was the depth of characters. They were not developed enough for me to sense their emotions. I was not drawn in. I didn't feel for them. When you don't feel for the characters it is hard to get into the book.

This book and this author both have potential. She has a good mind that can think up a good storyline and I have great faith that with practice she will be writing tales that I will want to read and reread and reread again. This, though, was not one of them.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK read

Masked by Moonlight was an OK read. I think the second half of the book was way better than the first half. I could not see how the hero started liking the heroine. It seems as though he fell in love with her because she was there. I did not see any tension betwen them or conversely the admiration they felt for each other arose because they were merely in close proximity. Once the hero liked her though, he was very romantic so the book ended well. Overall an OK read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2015
I made the mistake of reading Quinn's story first, not realizing this was actually a series. Always better to read them in order and now will read Quinn's story again, no biggie, I loved it too. Don't miss reading them, no matter what the order. I love Christian romance and this was one of the best!

5.0 out of 5 stars Masked by Moonlight, a great story!
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2008
This is a wonderfully written story, one you won't want to put down. This was my first read by this author and I can't wait to read her next book, Bluegrass Hero. If Allie does come out with another book to continue, Masked by Moonlight, I will definitely pick it up.

I was a little hesitant to read this book, not seeming as something that would interest me...but boy was I wrong. The story took a totally different course then what my first impression of the cover and even the first few pages, brought to mind.

I love where Allie took the story and her writing is amazing. The story is one that I could imagine actually happening, which took me by surprise. It was very insightful, giving me many moments, connecting with how I feel, yet putting it into words I could not.

I love the two main characters, and would love to read about Stewart. As bad as he was, I would love to see God work in his life, having some heroine come along to save him from the life he had made for himself. And then maybe getting a glimpse into what Matthew and Georgia are doing...like adding to their family.
