Review

4 stars!!

I started reading this book without knowing very much at all about the series. The author immediately drew me in with Mia and Schooner’s story, and I stayed up most of the night reading Books 1 and 2! And I immediately downloaded Book 3 because I can’t wait to read their conclusion.

This is a beautifully written story of love lost, love found and second chances, helped along by the power of social media, which did not exist when our Mia and Schooner graduated from college. Schooner is the gorgeous, WASP-y star tennis player, who feels valued only because of his All American good looks. He has the perfect girlfriend, but he doesn’t really feel the connection with her that he feels for the fiery, opinionated Mia, who he feels really loves him for himself and not for his looks or wealth.

“Schooner kept everyone happy. Schooner Moore had no f’ing idea who he really was.”

They love each other but circumstances lead to them breaking up very painfully while in college. Fast forward years later, and Schooner has found her again, the girl he has not stopped thinking about for over 20 years. I don’t want to give a detailed plot description, because this book should be enjoyed without knowing what’s going to happen. I loved all of the characters in this book but be warned, you will need to second book handy to jump right in so you can continue Mia and Schooner’s story.

Julie Richman is a wonderfully talented writer and this book is a rich story filled with well-written characters, heartbreak, triumph and some really hot sex scenes.

Review

4 1/2 stars!!

I loved this book even more than the first because Julie Richman’s writing is even deeper and more detailed. Moore to Lose was totally unexpected and filled with characters that are essential to Mia’s growth as a person. It is not easy to tell a story in flashbacks, and with alternating POV’s, but the author did a great job.

Mia is somewhat of a lost soul and there are a few situations that are a little painful to read. Mia becomes reckless in her search for true love that will replace the emptiness she still feels after losing Schooner. But there are some beautiful scenes on Book Two and all intertwines with her reunion with Schooner, and her sometimes-difficult relationship with Schooner’s two children that he has from his marriage to CJ. There is lots of graphic sex in Moore to Lose (which I loved) and an ending that will leave to desperate for “more” (pun intended).

This was not really a story that was focused on Schooner and Mia but was more about Mia’s journey and relationships during their years apart. I thought this would be a story about the two as a couple but it was primarily Mia’s story during their two decades apart.

I admit I was incredibly frustrated with both Mia and Schooner at times during this book but I loved the fast-paced storyline and flawed characters that Mia meets during her time apart from Schooner. I love Julie Richman’s writing and I’ve already started Book 3!

About the Author

I must’ve been 5 or 6 when I started writing “stories”. I would write them and hide them. Not wanting anyone to see my “secret” thoughts. I needed to write -even back then. Now I’m just not hiding them anymore. Is that a sign of maturity? Nah ….
Writer, photographer, insatiable wanderluster, edge-player, foodie, music addict, pop culture fanatic, animal lover, warrior for the rights of people and planet, and avid cusser (am a Native New Yorker, so very little offends me … and if I am offended, it must be pretty freaking bad .. like bad grammar!).
I am big believer in signs and if we keep ourselves open, there are guideposts all along the way. Stay humble. Be true. Be you.
Life is not a dress rehearsal…

Excerpt

“Damn, it’s cold in here!” Schooner grabbed Mia and pulled her close.
“Will be much better under the down blanket – naked.” Mia said into his chest.
The now gale force winds were slamming her bedroom windows, chilling them with each rattle, a fine snow had begun to fall and sounded like sand hitting the window with each gust.
She started to unbutton his shirt and he took her hands, “Baby Girl, I’m getting naked under the blanket. It’s freaking freezing in here.”
He pulled her toward the bed and lifted the down comforter.
“Afraid of shrinkage?” she teased, getting under the blanket next to him and pulling off her clothes.
He pulled her underneath his now naked body. “This feel like shrinkage to you?” He pressed his hard cock against her.
She threaded her fingers through his hair and pulled his lips to hers. “It feels like Heaven to me.”
“Feels like home to me,” he smiled into her mouth, before kissing her deeply.
Mia wrapped her legs around Schooner, his warm body covering hers completely. With each kiss she could feel herself becoming wetter and wetter, wanting him inside of her desperately. She ran her hands down his back, feeling the definition of his muscles, kneading them, trying to memorize what he felt like to her touch.
His teeth were at her neck, softly grazing one of her most sensitive areas. Moaning, she tilted her head, giving him access, wanting to feel his teeth. Pressing his head into her neck, she could feel the pressure of his teeth biting harder and she wrapped her legs around him tighter and pulled his hair.
He moaned and his lips went back to her mouth, his kiss savage and rough.
She could feel the head of his cock pressing against her, maybe an inch away from where she wanted him, needed him.
She pulled her mouth away, they were both panting, blood rushing. “Schooner, did you bring condoms?” Even in the dark, she could see the shocked look on his face.
“Fuck. No. You’re not on anything?” He was searching her face, trying to get his bearings.
“Forty and not dating anyone.” She shook her head. Schooner gave Mia an incredulous look saying how could you not be seeing anyone.
She loved him for the way he saw her.
“Ok, ummm,” he looked at her wide-eyed, “what do you want to do?”
“Well, there’s a 24-hour Korean grocer about two blocks from here.” They both looked toward the window. A heavier snow had begun to fall, swirling and dancing in the street lamps below, then being whipped in sheets by the relentless wind gusts. “Ok, not a good idea.”
Schooner went to move off of Mia and she held him tightly in place on top of her with her arms and legs. “You are not making this easier,” he gave her a soft kiss on the lips.
“That’s because it’s my job to make it harder.” She pulled his head back down to her for another kiss.
