Excerpt
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 opened her mouth so that her top teeth were on one side of his cock, her bottom teeth on the other.
The sound of his moan and the feel of his fingers in her hair, made Mia ache to have him inside of her. She nibbled the soft head of his cock through the rough fabric.
“Oh God, Mia.” He reached down and pulled her on top of him so that they were laying face to face. Both panting, he took her face in his hands and pulled her lips down to his, kissing her roughly.
She could feel his cock between her legs and pressed down, “I want you,” she said into his mouth, rubbing along the length of him slowly clockwise, and then lifting her mouth off of his slightly to smile, she changed the direction of her grinding to counterclockwise.

Dawn’s Review 4.5 Stars
In Searching for Moore, I was instantly caught up in Schooner’s and Mia’s story and after the way SFM ended I was definitely in need of Moore to Lose to take me off that cliff that I was left on. I love Julie’s writing style and found myself again completely involved with Mia and Schooner in Moore to Lose.
After SFM, I was ready to jump headfirst into the next chapter of Mia and Schooner. I fully expected Moore to Lose to be that but really, it was so much more than that. It was Mia’s story. In my mind, it’s the perfect transition between book 1 and what I fully anticipate (hope?) will happen in book 3. Julie shows us all that Mia goes through from the time she leaves Schooner at college until they meet again.
As difficult as it may be to see Mia’s life and those she surrounds herself with after leaving Schooner, those were moment of growth and learning. Mia is hanging on by a thread and hasn’t really dealt with some of her issues from book 1. Moore to Lose is an opportunity to see her grow and come to terms with all that has happened. As someone that is similar in age to Mia when she and Schooner reconnect, MTL was real and emotional and reminded me how all those who are part of our lives make an impact. A few of those people in MTL were Seth, Tom, and Michael. I won’t spoil anything but there is one part of this story that hit me very hard and had me sobbing for Mia (dammit – doing it again even thinking about it!). Julie Richman knows how to touch on a spectrum of emotions and her character development is spot on as we see Mia’s growth. I was quite a bit frustrated with Schooner throughout part of this book so I’ll be impatiently waiting to see what happens in book 3.
Overall, I was immediately drawn in to Moore to Lose and found myself finishing in 2 sittings (not 1 because I couldn’t keep the eyes open any more!). Julie Richman delivered a book that had my feelings right at the surface and I’ll certainly jump on book 3 the moment it’s available! (Oh, yeah, there’s a slight cliff on this one too…)

Another hit, by Julie Richman!! And, “Moore to Lose” packed a bigger punch than “Searching for Moore.” Women will gravitate toward this story because it follows Mia’s life journey – one the many of us have taken or know too many women who have walked a similar path. It is happy, sad, funny and deeply emotional, but it’s REAL. Like Mia.
I am so excited for the final book of the “Needing Moore” trilogy, for Mia and Schooner’s well-deserved HEA!! Julie cannot write fast enough!!
Loved this book as much as the first….We discover what Mia’s life has been about during the 24 years she was apart from Schooner….This girl has been broken and put back together so many times but comes back and kicks ass in the advertising world…Loved how we met some characters from the first book and discovered how they fitted into Mia’s world…Oh and of course the book wouldn’t be complete without the man himself Mr Moore!…Se excited to see what book 3 brings..
