Continuing the fight for their happily ever after that began in Searching for Moore, Schooner Moore and Mia Silver struggle to overcome the ghosts and baggage they accumulated during their time apart.

Exploring the missing 24 years when they were separated, Moore to Lose follows Mia's journey from heartbroken teen to kickass businesswoman to her emotional reunion with Schooner and the exploration of the love that was ripped from them.

But is their love really strong enough to overcome the damage of those missing 24 years or will they continue to be ripped apart by pasts that can't be changed?

This is Book 2 in the Needing Moore Series. This is not a stand alone book. It is meant to be read after Searching for Moore.

My Review:
Moore to Lose by Julie A. Richman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review.  Spoiler-free review. I highly recommend reading Searching For Moore (book #1) prior to reading Moore to Loose (Book #2). Five Moore Stars for Julie Richman and Moore To Loose (#2).

Moore to Loose picks up where Finding Moore left off. Mia is on bed rest after her accident. In MTL, Mia’s heart breaking life story and painful unravels prior to reuniting with Schooner.  Schooner was always in her head and heart and she wasn’t truly emotionally available to another man. In turn, Mia hit her own “self-destruct” button that created an emotional abyss of mindless drug abuse and promiscuous behavior. Fast forward years later…will Mia & Schooner make it work?  Will history repeat itself?

Ok…let me just say that this book ends with a cliffhanger. It absolutely should not stop you from reading this book NOW. The way Julie Richman chronicled Mia’s life prior to finding Schooner was so real and believable. What a back story and character development. Kudos to Julie for knowing her downtown NYC stores, bars, restaurants etc. (I lived in the area she was writing about). I have a feeling book three will have many *Moore* gut wrenching twists and turns and HEA. You want these characters to win...and finally make it. They are both so lovable. Julie Richman I want Moore NOW.

Attended by reality TV star wannabes and Southern California social climbers, Schooner Moore knows the party his wife is throwing for his forty-third birthday has little to do with him and everything to do with her social standing in Orange County. The evening turns out to hold more surprises than just his wife's Botoxed friends groping at his privates, when a conversation with his old college roommate, Beau, reveals the biggest surprise of the night.

Beau has had contact on Facebook with Mia Silver. Just hearing her name sends Schooner into a tailspin, as he is now just a Friend Request away from the one who got away when she disappeared without a goodbye, leaving him wondering why she left.

A serial failure at romance, Manhattan boutique ad agency owner, Mia, gets a blindside of her own when a Facebook Friend Request from first love, Schooner, appears in her email. Going with her gut reaction, Mia hits accept, propelling her past to catch up with her in a New York minute, as a forceful Schooner is determined to understand what tore them apart and to explore the possibility of a second chance at love.

From a 1980's Southern California college campus and a devastating first love to present day New York City, Searching for Moore explores how technology has eradicated the divide between our past and our present, and asks whether you would give up everything to reconnect with The One in a single keystroke?

As he hardened beneath her fingers, Mia's devil smile grew wider and wider.
"You're incorrigible."
Mia looked at him with her "You didn't just figure that out now, did you?" look and he laughed.
She could feel his erection straining against his jeans and she wanted to take it out probably as much as he did. With a quick kiss on the lips, she ducked her head down the bed.
He started to protest and Mia looked up at him and put her finger to her lips, "Shhhh."
And then she did what he did not expect. She did not undo the top button of his jeans, she did not unzip his fly, she did not reach inside his jeans to pull him out and fondle him (even though she was dying to). With her teeth, Mia outlined his cock through his jeans. As she moved from base to tip at an excruciatingly slow pace, she

Storm (Storm MC #1)
by Nina Levine

Excerpt
Fuck, she wasn’t going to make this easy for either of us.  I was convinced that Scott was handing me my balls on a plate by sending me here.  One look at Madison and I wanted to shove them at her and get the fuck out of here.  Christ, she was still as goddamn sexy as the last time I laid eyes on her.  I ran my eyes down her body and took in the low-cut, short dress and fuck me heels; god I loved those shoes and my dick twitched just thinking about wrapping those legs around me.

“Can we talk outside for a minute?” I asked.

She pursed her lips and appeared to be assessing the situation before she gave me a curt nod and said, “Fine.”  And with that she grabbed her purse, brushed past me and stalked towards the front door.  I watched her ass sway as I followed her out and told my dick to settle the fuck down.  No way were we going there again; I was here for one reason and one reason only.

Once we were outside she reached into her purse and pulled out a cigarette.  She quickly lit it and took a long drag.  God, I hoped she was still sober; last I had heard she was and she looked pretty healthy but the way she sucked on that cigarette looked like a junkie fixing for their next hit.

“Scott told you I was coming, yeah?” I asked, taking in the glare she had levelled on me.  Yep, balls on a plate.

“No,” she snapped, “He said someone was coming but he failed to mention it was you.”  She looked like she was going to say something else but took another long drag on her cigarette instead.

“Well, you’ve got me until he pulls me back home so I say we make the best of a shitty situation and put our crap aside.”

She took another long drag on her cigarette, threw it down and ground it out before scowling at me, “You’re a fucking asshole, J and for all I care you can go to hell.”

Book Summary:
Throughout her 23 years, Peyton Prescott was used to running the show. That went into overdrive the minute she agreed to become a bride. Born into an affluent Southern family, she was expected to fulfill her social obligation to marry well, and found that unsuspecting groom in her pushover fiancé, Leland Goodreau. He, like the rest of her family, catered to her every whim to keep her happy, and she predicted a satisfactory, if not boring, existence as his missus.

In fact, the only real human to stand up to this bridezilla from hell is Mateo Bravo, one of the chefs she considers to cater the blessed event. Sparks fly the minute they meet and out of sheer defiance, she hires Mateo and his sister Naomi for every social gathering in the remaining months until she marries.

Mateo, unlike any other man she's ever met, doesn't put up with Peyton’s behavior. With a masculine energy that she finds alluring and exciting, he turns her entitled existence upside down by showing her she's not always the boss. No one is more surprised than she is when she finds out that she kind of likes it.

Peyton decides to seduce, and then dump, the middle-class cook, just to get him out from under her skin. Instead she finds out that there are a few things in life even the great Peyton Prescott can’t plan.

About Ginger:
Ginger Voight is prolific author, freelance writer and optioned screenwriter. Her fiction is diverse, with novels like the edgy, coming-of-age drama DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS, and the fun family adventure for kids of all ages, COMIC SQUAD.
Having grown up reading different authors like Danielle Steel and Stephen King, Ginger has always been drawn more to story than to genre. This shows up in her various stories. Titles such as MY IMMORTAL and TASTE OF BLOOD are a delicious, heady mix of horror, suspense, and romance.
Genre romance, however, has held a special place in her heart, ever since she read her first Harlequin novel when she was only eleven. As a result, Ginger is making a name for herself writing romances of her own, starring women who look more like the average American woman rather than those traditionally represented in the size-biased American media. Her Rubenesque romances were created especially for those heroines with fuller figures, who can still get the man of their dreams if only they believe they can. Such titles include UNDER TEXAS SKIES, LOVE PLUS ONE, THE GROUPIE TRILOGY, THE FIERCE TRILOGY and PICTURE POSTCARDS.
Ginger was included in the best-selling book by Smith Magazine NOT QUITE WHAT I WAS PLANNING, featuring her six-word memoir.

Excerpt:
“The Undisciplined Bride,” tagline: “What do you do when you run into the Bridezilla from hell? If you’re Mateo Bravo, you bend her over and show her who’s boss.”
She punched the button on the elevator to take her up to the roof where she hoped to get a breath of fresh air.
She stepped inside the luxurious box with the gold accents and glass wall facing out over the Houston skyline. Just before the doors closed a hand appeared and forced them back open.
Her mouth fell open when she saw Mateo enter the elevator, larger than life. He was tall and elegant in his finely tailored tuxedo, and his cologne filled her senses as he stepped closer so the doors would close.
“What are you doing here?” she stammered.
“Following you,” he answered softly as he caressed the curve of her face with the back of his hand. “We have an appointment, do we not?” She watched stupefied as he used his other hand to press every single button on the way up the high rise hotel.
“What are you doing?”
“Taking the scenic route,” he replied before he curled an arm around her waist and drew her up against his rigid body. Before she could protest, his mouth was on hers, gently probing her lips with his tongue until she wilted against him in perfect submission to his kiss. Her arms curled around his neck as she pressed against him.
His fingers wound in her hair, tugging her head back so he could explore the delicate curve of her neck with his mouth. She couldn’t suppress a groan as her fingers dug into his back. He was so exciting and so real and so raw… she couldn’t get enough. Even when the doors opened on that first floor that his fingers had accidently hit, she couldn’t tear herself away from him. Instead she wrapped one leg around his and pulled him back against the side wall.
He chuckled against the nape of her neck. “Aren’t you scared we’ll get caught?” he asked.
“I don’t get scared,” she whispered back, her mouth flushed from the power and intensity of his kiss.
“No?” he asked as he curled a hand around the back of her neck. He turned her toward the glass pane that looked out over the city. She gasped as she felt him step directly behind her. He ran his hands up her legs under her skirt until they cupped her ass. She gasped as she rested her face against the glass, staring down at the domed roof of the atrium below. It was though they were flying somewhere above the rest of the world.
He nuzzled her ear. “Tell me what you want, Peyton.”
“You,” she breathed.
He rocked his pelvis against her, pressing her into the glass. She could feel how much he wanted her, too. “Right here? Right now?”
“Anytime. Anywhere.”
“That’s a good girl,”

There were still lessons to learn and consequences for the truth!
When Claire Nichols met Anthony Rawlings, she didn’t know they had a past, or that he had plans for her future. Over time, the role of teacher changed—games became reality—and domination turned to desire. Despite an insurmountable history, Claire and Tony found their way back to one another.
Just when they seemed to have it all—love, respect, and the promise of a family—the game master exposed the truth. Claire’s world once again spun out of control. Unwilling to allow her child to suffer the consequences of an old vendetta, Claire fled...
At one time, Claire was held captive in an opulent mansion—then her incarceration was a cell inside a state penitentiary. Was her new prison—a tropical island—truly less lonely? Perhaps that was the game master’s plan, all along?
Who will save Claire from her oldest nightmare and her newest reality? Will it be Tony? Can he forgive her for leaving him—again? Harry? Will he utilize previously unknown connections to save the woman who infiltrates his thoughts? Maybe Phil? Will his devotion in keeping Claire and her child safe be rewarded?
As the cards are played—sins of the past, innocent victims, and truths are revealed. With compartmentalization no longer an option, is the reality too much? Could there be an even worse isolation?
With the game master dealing from a stacked deck, can this new high-stakes game possibly be won?
When it’s all over and their cards are on the table—SOME will discover their bets were too high—they have nothing left to lose—ALL will learn the crucial lesson—the most important rule—there are CONSEQUENCES for the TRUTH!
