Published by beckymmoe on 04/04/2025

“Not looking for closure. I don’t close a good book until the story ends.” And ours started when I was sixteen. Eighteen years later, we had become different people, living another life than the one we had imagined then. One without each other.

Loving him was easy, surviving him was hard. And I had a secret that was…

New Release Review! OH, HELL NO by Abbi Glines (Mississippi Smoke #3)

Published by beckymmoe on 01/02/2025

Taking her was a means to an end. The task was to weed out the man who had stolen millions from us. He may have succeeded, but he’d pay with his life. Hiding from us was a grave error he’d regret soon enough because once he found out that we had taken the one thing he cared for as repayment- he’d show up. When a man had a weakness, it was foolish to make a mistake like this. He would come for her, and when he did, he wouldn’t walk away unscathed, nor would the sister he adored. This was…

Release Day Review! BRAVELY YOURS by AJ Ranney (Half Moon Lake #3.5)

Published by beckymmoe on 08/07/2024

My lawyer said don’t do anything stupid. Almost setting fire to my kitchen probably fell into that category. And now the firefighter next door is breaking down my door. He’s hot and young and carefree. Everything as a single mom I don’t have time for. He should be running in the opposite direction. Instead, he keeps showing up, offering his help. But I’m in the middle of a custody fight. I can’t afford to let him become a distraction, and I can’t afford to make a mistake that could cost me my daughter. I should be smart enough to stay…
