No one knows who he is or where he's from. But witnesses throughout San Francisco report a masked man in black is bringing supplies—and badly needed hope—to homeless earthquake survivors. Some believe that the city's gallant rescuer is a gentleman of wealth. But others whisper that he is a working-class man with courage as great as his faith. And rumor has it that one of the city's most spirited society belles is helping him against her family's wishes. What can be confirmed is that the masked messenger will need more than a miracle to escape those on his trail—and win the woman risking everything to save him….

5.0 out of 5 stars Glad I tried this author again

After reading the first book "Masked by Moonlight" and giving it a rather poor review I was reluctant to try it's sequel. But I had bought them together and well, I had to give it a fair chance. After all, I mused, the sequel was written a couple of years later and things could only improve, right? Yes, RIGHT! The sequel, "Mission of Hope" (which can also stand alone, thank goodness!) is FANTASTIC! I felt that the characters were extremely well developed in this story and REAL. The emotion was gutsy; I even teared up at one point when a little girl who lost her baby sister after the earthquake humbly requests a doll on the "Midnight Messenger" post. Heart strings are meant to be pulled and this novel delivers :)
The romance had depth and was heartfelt. Overall, the book is a winner and I think most anyone will enjoy reading it.
There is no cussing, and no sexual situations. The "preachiness" is minimal. More of a "God give me strength" kind of thing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mission of Hope by Allie Pleiter
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2010
In the chaotic aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Nora Longstreet fears all hope is lost, until a young dockworker gifts her with a locket that had belonged to her cousin thought to have perished in the earthquake. With a renewed sense of purpose and with Quinn's help, Nora plans to offer others the same hope if her father doesn't stop her.

Quinn Freeman needed to see something, even if only a locket, find its home. What he never expects to find is his soul mate. Encouraged by the glimmer of hope he sees in Nora's eyes, Quinn sets out on a masked-mission to do the same for others, even if it means risking his life.

The two survived the deadly earthquake, but can they survive the outrage of a torn city? Can they survive the thick walls of prejudice? Will Nora walk away from her family in order to save Quinn's life? Can Quinn prove to Nora's father he is worthy of her heart?

Rich in history, faith and intrigue, Mission of Hope, written by Allie Pleiter, is one of the most beautifully written romances I've read in a very long while. With a unique twist on the typical Cinderella story, Pleiter paints a world with such reality that one can't help but be drawn into her characters lives. I look forward to reading many more Allie Pleiter books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun read
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2015
Related to earlier book: Masked by Moonlight."

After reading "Masked by Moonlight," I was excited to read Quinn's story. According tot he author, twenty years has passed between the two books (She said he was 12 when he knew Michael Cunningham, but he's only 26 now...). Though there was suspense in the first book, I thought this one was a bit darker and heavier. The romance was oh so sweet! I loved watching Quinn and Nora's relationship grow into love. I thought the "forbidden love" angle was so great. I loved reading about their intimate moments with the help of the pastor of the Hope Mission (remember how he helped Michael in the first book?) And I loved the story of the Midnight Messenger!

If you haven't read the first book, that's okay. This is definitely a stand-alone book. Though I think it was a much more fun read having read the first one (with reference to the Bandit), the hero and heroine isn't hardly mentioned except for a few quick references. This was just a fun book and one I had trouble putting down at times...

5.0 out of 5 stars So Good!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2015
I do read a lot of historical romance books, and the best ones are those that are based on actual history. First one I have read based on the historic San Francisco earthquake. Horrible and devastating to say the least, but amazing how the American people came together. Today, I wonder how the people would react to a tragedy such as this. In this book there was a separation of classes, where the hero, Quinn was considered lower class and the heroine upper class. It's an amazing love story, a must read and one I will read again.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2010
Wow, wow, and triple wow. MASKED BY MOONLIGT was the first book I read by Allie Pleiter, and it blew me away. I've since read the Kentucky Corners series, and though they were good, I longed for another MASKED BY MOONLIGHT. When I heard she was writing a sequel, I was overjoyed.

The cover captured me immediately and being a historical, well I just had to read it. But what I hadn't expected was that THIS was the sequel to MASKED BY MOONLIGHT. You can't imagine my excitement when I made the discovery.

MISSON OF HOPE was amazing! From the first page I was hooked, and from there it never stopped. There are books that you can barely make it through...ugh. There are books that you fly through. And then there are those like MISSON OF HOPE...ones you read purposefully slow, absorbing EVERY word because it's that good.

As an inspiring writer I was blown away by Allie's writing, the plot, and the wonderful characters. All of them capture me, so realistic as if they would suddenly step out of the pages. I am in awe of how she writers so completely different from the Kentucky Corners, to a Historical.

MISSON OF HOPE was based on the same concept as MASKED BY MOONLIGHT, though Allie was able to create a completely unique story with just the right touch of MASKED BY MOONLIGHT to connect the two.

I will miss Quinn, he's such a neat characters.
