REVIEWS

Margot’s fumbling attempt to seduce Travis in the beginning of Remember Me is both endearing and heart-wrenching. Her feelings of anticipation and then embarrassment for her unrequited love are tangible. Travis broke my heart when he rejected Margot. When it’s Travis’ turn to do the seducing, he has more success. He’s a pretty irresistible cowboy. Jade, Jordan, and Margot have very distinctive personalities. As the youngest of the Radcliffe sisters, Jade is the most traumatized by her parent’s death. Jordan, who always seems so in control, soon faces her own personal trauma. Margot has the weight of the world on her shoulders and realizing that time has not dulled the love she harbors for Travis makes things harder for her. The sexual tension between Margot and Travis is intense but it’s nothing compared to when they finally admit to and express their feelings for each other. Remember Me is a wonderful story about love, passion, and new beginnings."

"I have to say that I loved this book! Ms. Moore created believable characters you get to personally know and fall in love with and she sets them in a storyline that was creatively entertaining and enjoyable to read. I was pulled into her storyline immediately and found myself losing track of time. I saw Ms. Moore’s story play out before me and she made me feel as if I was another character stepping through her plot. I couldn’t help but fall I love with Margot and I had hoped that things would go okay when she saw Travis again after the eight years had passed. I even found myself secretly hoping that something would start up between them when they first laid eyes on each other again. I eagerly look forward to reading the rest of Ms. Moore’s Rosewood Trilogy. I highly recommend this story and I’m definitely going to look for more stories now from this talented author!"

"Remember Me is, without question, a romance lover’s ultimate fantasy. It has been a long time since an author made such an impression; to the extent that I purchased her other works the instant I finished. This is the kind of story that fans of the genre search tirelessly for, where the romance, conflicts, and character building remain front and center. Enriched by attention to detail, the result is people you fall in love with, care for, and want to have their much deserved happily-ever-after.

Remember Me will leave you breathless. Laura Moore has an incredible talent for detail and character development. Each sentence breathes life onto the page, bringing the reader directly into the center of the work, and allows them to experience all of the heartache, turmoil, and doubt right along with the cast. I quite honestly couldn’t put this story down, not from the moment I finished the gut wrenching prologue, and stayed up ‘til the wee-hours of the morning to finish.

I highly recommend Remember Me, so much so that I’m rating it a Best Book. I can’t wait for the second installment in the Rosewood Trilogy, Believe In Me, and have it marked at the top of my TBR list."

"Rich characterization, intriguing plotlines, plus the horse-world background make REMEMBER ME an absorbing read.

In one of those odd coincidences, I recently conversed with a friend about authors we like but haven't seen around lately, and I brought up Laura Moore and her great horse stories. Two days later, I received REMEMBER ME in the mail. What a welcome treat! And it's just the first of three. I highly recommend romance and horse lovers a like get in on the beginning of this trilogy."

"In Remember Me a supermodel returns home to save the family horse farm and take over the care of her sullen, sulky half-sister. It's an enjoyable, angsty read that begins The Rosewood Trilogy...

...Fans of a good family saga - pick this one up as soon as you can. You will love it."

"On the Rosewood Virginia horse farm, the eighteen year old daughter of the owner Margot Radcliffe decides to make love with the man of her dreams, employee Travis Maher. Although he wants her he rejects Princess Margot. She leaves for New York humiliated and becomes a successful supermodel.

Eight years later, irate family patriarch RJ accuses his horse trainer Travis of cheating with his wife Nicole, which Maher denies, but is fired anyway. Soon afterward RJ and Nicole die in a plane crash. The three offspring are stunned as married Jordan, teen Jade, and Margot must decide what to do. Margot realizes the only hope to save the nearly bankrupt Rosewood is with the man who rejected her when she threw herself at him.

Believe In Me (Jordan's upcoming tale) that the first Rosewood Trilogy is a terrific horse farm romance starring two strong lead characters supported by a solid cast to include steeds. Readers will empathize with Margot who still loves Travis; but root for him as he wanted her back then, never moved passed desiring her, and still needs her, but to this day feels he did the right thing for both of them when he rejected her. Fans will enjoy this fine tale as Laura Moore proves Virginia is for lovers.

"Brava! What a delicious read. Moore's heartfelt tale will resound with fans of Diana Palmer and Judith McNaught. The characters are vivid, the settings stunning and the emotional conflict between Margot and Travis will stay with the reader long after the last page. This reviewer cannot wait for the next installation in the Rosewood Trilogy.
      
Summary: When the wealthy Radcliffes die in a plane accident, they leave behind three daughters and Rosewood, a world-renowned breeding stable. Their two adult daughters, Jordan, with her perfect political family, and estranged Margot, a world-famous fashion model, gather up their teenage sister, Jade, and retreat to the estate, only to learn that their parents have left them riddled with debt! Will Margot and Jade be able to restore the farm to what it once was? And what is Margot to do about Travis, the only man in the county who can bring Rosewood up to snuff--and the one man she never really got over?"

Excerpt

Prologue

Rosewood Farm, Warburg, Virginia

 

Eighteen and no cleavage to speak of: life was so grossly unfair.

 

Clad in matching panties and bra, Margot inspected her image in the cheval mirror. Her boobs did seem a bit bigger with the help of the push-up bra, didn’t they? At least her legs were okay, and the high-heeled mules she had bought to go with her dress would make them look even longer. For reassurance, she stepped into the new shoes. Beneath the soft light of her bedroom chandelier, her tanned skin glowed. She’d made sure to slather moisturizer all over. She’d even remembered perfume, spritzing a cloud into the air before walking through it, a trick she’d read in a magazine. As nervous as she was, she needed all the help she could get.

 

Margot gave herself a last hard look and imagined Travis standing close enough to breathe in the sultry scent she’d chosen. She pictured desire flaring bright in his flint-gray eyes, felt the heat of his passion as his dark head lowered. His breath, warm and butterscotchy from his favorite flavor of Life Savers, would mingle with hers. Then the long-awaited touch of his lips, firm and commanding, as his strong, calloused hands reached for her. . . . A thrill coursed through her.

 

Yes, she thought, dizzy with excitement. Tonight, after so many nights lying in her bed and dreaming of Travis Maher, those dreams were going to become reality.

 

She spun around and scooped up the dress lying neatly on her double bed. A vibrant peony-pink wraparound, it was deliciously simple, held together with a single large rabbit-eared bow. She tugged it on. Once she’d gotten the bow just so, Margot pivoted this way and that in front of the mirror, pleased with how the soft fabric hugged her body. If only she were curvier. Still, the dress was a far cry from her usual attire of breeches and polo shirts. He wouldn’t be able to ignore the way she looked in it.

 

Grabbing a brush from the mahogany dresser, she gave her hair several vigorous strokes and debated whether to leave it down so that Travis might see how glossy and shiny it was. No, a loose knot was more sophisticated. Her hand trembled slightly as she applied mascara, and she grimaced when a black clump stuck to her lashes. Plucking it off, she abandoned the task. Her lashes were dark enough. After coating her lips with a raspberry- tinted gloss, she gave the mirror an inviting smile. Yes. This was definitely a new Margot Radcliffe. She looked worldly and mature.... She looked hot.

 

Surely Travis would think so.

 

Tonight she was going to make Travis forget she was the boss’s daughter. When he looked at her, he wasn’t going to be thinking of the skinny kid who for years now had been trailing after him from one horse barn to the next, peppering him with questions every step of the way, thrilled when he answered, because getting Travis to talk was like pulling teeth. And when he spoke to her this evening, he certainly wouldn’t be calling her by that odious nickname he’d invented: Princess Margot. He’d have no reason to, because she wouldn’t have to resort to ordering him about, demanding he fetch her hoof pick or her longe tape just so she could get his attention and have him acknowledge her existence. Tonight she’d be gracious and charming and witty, and he’d be dazzled. Everything would be different between them.
