Published by beckymmoe on 10/28/2017

Completely by Ruthie Knox Synopsis: Everest. If they can make it there, they can make it anywhere. Maybe even New York, where Ruthie Knox takes her charming rom-com style to new heights. Beneath her whole “classic English beauty” appearance is an indomitable spirit that has turned Rosemary Chamberlain into something of a celebrity mountain climber. But after an Everest excursion takes a deadly turn, Rosemary is rescued by her quick-thinking guide, New York native Kal Beckett. Rosemary’s brush with death brings out a primal need to celebrate life—and inspires a night of steamy sex with the rather gorgeous man who…

New Release Review: HARDER by Robin York (Caroline & West #2)

Published by beckymmoe on 09/16/2014

I reviewed Caroline & West, book 1 (Deeper), here. You really shouldn’t read book 2 without a working knowledge of the events of book 1. Harder by Robin York In Robin York’s provocative new novel, two young ex-lovers find themselves together again in the shadow of tragedy—and an intense, undeniable attraction. Caroline still dreams about West. His warm skin, his taut muscles, his hand sliding down her stomach. Then she wakes up and she’s back to reality: West is gone. And before he left, he broke her heart. Then, out of the blue, West calls in crisis. A tragedy has…

Looking for an Excuse to Read More? How About Bookish Bingo, Summer Edition?

Published by beckymmoe on 07/13/2014

Procrastination is a wonderful thing. It helps me find such interesting stuff online… It’s Camp NaNoWriMo month, so I should be writing. (But I already wrote 1001 words this afternoon, so I’m more than halfway to today’s goal, so… 😉 ) I’m taking two online writing courses that I’m shamefully behind on. I’ve got boxes, crates, and bags of books LITERALLY all over my house from my now not-quite-empty-but-closer-than-it’s-ever-been-before classroom that need to go somewhere. Not to mention all the other stuff from my room that needs a home in my home. Seriously. It’s like the labyrinth over here. I…

Seriously Awesome Proposal! (Week in Review 12/8/13)

Published by beckymmoe on 12/08/2013

I think he can forget a few birthdays and anniversaries yes? It’s almost enough to make me start watching basketball. And appreciating cheerleaders. Almost. Wow. Just…wow. After that, I’m not sure I can even remember what I’m doing…or reading….. Mr. Moe proposed at Christmas. Kind of, anyway. He really proposed a week after we met, but I figured he was either 1) kidding or 2) crazy, so either way my answer at that time wouldn’t be binding. But I did get the ring for Christmas. 😉 Speaking of Christmas, it’s coming–and report cards go out on Thursday, which means it’s…

Ready to be Blindsided? Ruthie Knox’s Roman Holiday #3 is here!

Published by beckymmoe on 12/01/2013

Title: Roman Holiday 3: Blindsided Author: Ruthie Knox Series: Roman Holiday Genre: Contemporary romance Published: 2013 Pages:  50 Format read: ebook Rating: B+ Blindsided  is another short installment–just 50 pages–but it somehow manages to pack quite a wallop anyhow. We left Ashley and Roman at the swamp–newly arrived at a hippie commune, and just about to join in the “drum circle”. Not exactly Roman’s cup of tea, as you can imagine… This episode gives us a deeper insight into Roman’s character, and, because we also see one scene from his fiancee Carmen’s eyes as well, we learn a bit more about his relationship with his mentor and…

I Survived NaNoWriMo! (Week in Review 11-29-13)

Published by beckymmoe on 12/01/2013

  Me, on Saturday… and then at 11:30 PM EST…   Woot! Finished with a half an hour to spare! Okay, let me clarify–my word count has been achieved, but the novel is far, far, from finished. Many scenes need to be written and/or fleshed out, and don’t even get me started on the revision–I left notes for myself all over the place (in the chapter labels, where they didn’t count toward my word count, of course) about issues I encountered after the fact (e.g.–rewrite scene–JANE NOT THERE YET!) that will need to be dealt with. But–fifty thousand words! I did…

Ready for Some More Roman Holiday? The Story Continues with Hitched, Episode 2!

Published by beckymmoe on 11/29/2013

  Title: Hitched Author: Ruthie Knox Series: Roman Holiday Genre: Contemporary romance Published: 2013 Pages:  50 Format read: ebook Rating: A- Ruthie Knox’s Roman Holiday continues with Hitched, the second “episode” in the serialization. Although it wasn’t quite as laugh out loud as the first (for which my daughter thanks you, Ruthie), it was still a darn good read. Hitched begins shortly after Chained left off–okay, a while after, since we have to wait for our heroine to regain consciousness…which she does, in a different location from where she lost it. Interesting, yes? She got there somehow, and two guesses as to how… 😉 Oh, and she’s…
