This review is for the entire 3 book series.

The story put forth in this series is a beautiful trail of love, loss, surviving, then thriving when love is restored. This series has so many great moments and characters, I absolutely love what this author gave us with these books.

While I knew I was going to love this book, I was hesitant to read it. Why? Because I didn’t want Mia and Schooner’s story to end. I love those two so much!

Julie did an amazing job with giving us the end of their book story and the beginning of thier lives together. I knew she would, I expected it and I was in no way disappointed. I have said it before, when it comes to creating REAL characters, Julie Richman is a pro. I think if I met Mia and Schooner at a party I would feel like they were old friends.

Yes, it was bittersweet to have this story end, but the story was worth it. It was beautiful, real and made you feel the emotions in a lovely way.

If you haven’t read this whole series, you need to now. It’s SO worth it.

Thank you Julie for creating such a wonderful cast of characters that will stick with me for long into the future! ( )

5 Smoochal stars for Mia and Schooner


This is the conclusion to the amazing story of Shooner and Mia. I would suggest if you have not picked up this series yet that you should. I truly think you will not be disappointed with it.

When Julia first introduced herself to me and asked me if I would be interested in reading and reviewing her first book, I was intrigued by the blurb and thought it was definitely a story right up my alley to read. Well I fell in love with Shooner and Mia in that first novel and I was begging Julia for MORE right away. She never failed to make sure I had the next book right away when it was ready to be read.

Today I am sad to see the end of Shooner and Mia, but I also know I will be getting a little more of them in the next book Julia is working on. Which excites me very much and of course I can not wait for it. ( hint, hint).

This journey with Shooner and Mia has been an amazing journey. Julia brought every single aspect of this story together within three awesome books and she did it so great. Each book is so unique in it's own way, and Julia does an amazing job with the entire series.

With this final book in the series, we pick up where the last one ended with Mia on her way to the hospital in labor and Shooner on the West Coast dealing with the drama. Although Shooner ends up not being there when Nathaniel is born, he truly makes up for it afterwards.

I love how We got to see these two work together to get every aspect of their lives in order so that they could have their happily ever after. I loved each and every moment in this series with these two characters. They will forever hold a special place within my heart.


“I love you. I have always loved you. I have never stopped loving you. I will never stop loving you. You are the love of my life, you always have been, you always will be.” ( )

Moore Than Forever is now live on Amazon so it is safe to post my review. NO SPOILERS HERE!

When we last closed the chapter on Mia, she was on her way to the hospital, alone in a cab and in labor. I felt so conflicted with Schooner not being there for her, I was crying. These are fictional characters, I kept saying to myself. The problem is that Julie Richman has the gift of writing such real characters, you cannot possibly separate fiction from reality. You become immersed in the story to that extent and a full range of emotions are engaged.

Now the final installment of Mia and Schooner has been be told. If you have been following this series, you will not be disappointed. Like any new couple, Mia and Schooner need to find their balance. With a baby in the mix, this is not so easy to do when the obstacles that separated them before still exist. Schooner needs to settle his personal demons so he can freely love Mia the way she deserves.

I have enjoyed this journey. I love the writing, the plotline and the characters who are so real to me. To Julie Richman I say Bravo! You hit this one out of the ballpark, lady! For me, it felt like coming home to a warm fire and the security that is implied in the word HOME. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. It was well worth all the emotions and waiting for the final outcome. ( )
