Moore than Forever is such a perfect ending to this trilogy. I cannot think of a better ending for Mia and Schooner than how Julie Richman wrote it.

While all the past secrets were revealed to readers in the first two books, they were not revealed to all the characters. On top of Schooner’s divorce dragging along at a molasses pace and the early arrival of Nathaniel, those secrets are hovering just outside of the story worrying Mia and Schooner that maybe there really is something that can pull them apart. 

At the very beginning everything was so emotional. Schooner messed up big time at the end of the second book, and the fall-out from his actions and Mia's reactions hurt to watch. As much as I could understand Mia’s reactions, I hurt knowing how Schooner was going to feel when he found out what happened. 

The whole cast of characters was a fun, lively, dynamic group of people. Both the California and New York casts worked so well together, accepting each other and supporting the needs of the individuals at the drop of a hat. The friends were back to support and push both Mia and Schooner to be better individually and together. I even started to like Zac by the end of the book. His actions through the second half of the book started to redeem him, to the point where I am looking forward to his book, Bad Son Rising. 

I loved all the little details in this book. There were so many things that came full circle in surprising ways. Signs became clear that were always a nod to the past as well as the future for Mia and Schooner. Discovering all the links, apparent coincidences, and symbols throughout the story was a big part of what made Moore Than Forever an absolute joy to read, even as tears were running down my face. 

While I don’t normally like cliffhangers as dramatic as Searching for Moore and Moore to Lose finished with, I loved this series. I did read them when all three were available to me, so I didn’t have to wait months between books to find a resolution, but I would have willingly waiting for Mia and Schooner -- I’m just glad I didn’t have to. It’s hard to say if I would feel the same way waiting months between books, but I’m thinking I would have gladly waited for each installment.

Mia was so young when we first met her. Her journey to happiness and Schooner probably left me with the biggest high and low feelings. She lived through and learned from so much during those first two books, that she almost couldn’t help coming out a strong, independent, caring woman. 

Schooner had a different path he traveled and as a result, his life experiences were completely different than Mia. Not only living on the opposite coast, but marrying CJ and raising his family and building his business. But as much as I spent so much time wishing there had been some way for the two of them to reconnect sooner, without that time apart they would not have been the same people they were when they met again. And who’s to say they would have even made it without all the other things they went through in the meantime. 

This was a can’t-put-it-down series from start to finish. Mia and Schooner bled out of my Kindle and in to dinner conversation, consuming my thoughts completely. I’m pretty sure my husband was glad when I finished the series and moved on to books that didn’t make me feel like I had to share with him.

Attended by reality TV star wannabes and Southern California social climbers, Schooner Moore knows the party his wife is throwing for his forty-third birthday has little to do with him and everything to do with her social standing in Orange County. The evening turns out to hold more surprises than just his wife's Botoxed friends groping at his privates, when a conversation with his old college roommate, Beau, reveals the biggest surprise of the night.

Beau has had contact on Facebook with Mia Silver. Just hearing her name sends Schooner into a tailspin, as he is now just a Friend Request away from the one who got away when she disappeared without a goodbye, leaving him wondering why she left.

A serial failure at romance, Manhattan boutique ad agency owner, Mia, gets a blindside of her own when a Facebook Friend Request from first love, Schooner, appears in her email. Going with her gut reaction, Mia hits accept, propelling her past to catch up with her in a New York minute, as a forceful Schooner is determined to understand what tore them apart and to explore the possibility of a second chance at love.
