Remember Me
CAN A LOVE BE LOST THAT WAS MEANT TO BE?
A rising star in the modeling world, Margot Radcliffe hasn’t forgotten the hurt that sent her running from Rosewood, the beautiful Virginia horse farm where she was raised. Travis Maher, a ruggedly handsome rebel and gifted horse trainer with a hard-knock past, had once captured Margot’s heart—only to break it.
But when tragedy strikes her family, Margot is forced to set aside her skyrocketing career and return to a place she never expected to see again, where the legs that everyone admires belong to Thoroughbreds, not supermodels. Now Rosewood Farm’s success depends on Margot, and the only person she can count on for help is the very man who so ruthlessly rejected her love all those years ago.
As Margot and Travis enter an uneasy truce to save Rosewood from financial ruin, their wild natures clash and their unresolved passions for each other begin to surge. But can this hard-edged horseman find a way to express his desire for the one woman he’s ever loved before she’s lost to him forever?

This book made me angry. Most conflicts revolved around the couple lying to each other. I couldn’t buy their motivations.
REVIEWER’S OPINION:
I enjoyed the setting of the horse breeding world, but the plot and sources of conflict were frustrating. I was angry while reading it and still angry at the end. Travis and Margot lie to each other throughout the book. These lies cause the other to be hurt, angry, and frustrated. Margot’s main motivation for lying to Travis is that she doesn’t want him to leave the farm. Later they have a fight, and he’s going to leave. Now she no longer has her motive for lying. So does she admit she’s been lying? No, she lets him leave thinking all the wrong things. I also disagreed with Travis’ motivations. He didn’t need to lie to Margot and her father. These were just excuses for more conflict. He also took some negative actions because he incorrectly assumed Margot had a relationship with another man, which was not true. He didn’t ask her about it so she could clear it up, he just assumed. The main conflicts revolved around my pet peeve: vague communication and inaccurate assumptions about each other. Great storytelling doesn’t need to use this. Conflicts are so much better when based on outside events happening or actions of other characters based on “reasonable or interesting motivations.” Aside from the above, the author has a good writing style. She just needed someone to fix her plot/conflict outline before she started writing.
ON THE SUBJECT OF LYING:
Sometimes lying makes a good story. For example, guy and girl just met. Guy likes her. Girl calls an agency to hire an escort for the evening. Guy is not an escort, but he shows up and tells her he is. That kind of lying is ok and can be fun. What is not ok is when the couple has secretly liked each other for a long time. The girl makes the first move, and the guy lies saying “I’m not interested. You’re not my type.” She feels humiliated and rejected. His motivation is she’s the boss’ daughter and he doesn’t want to lose his job. Since he secretly loves her (which means he shouldn’t want to hurt her feelings) he should tell her “why” they can’t be together - not reject her in a way that hurts. He did not act in accordance with his own feelings and motivations. This is the cheap way to create conflict. It’s not good storytelling.
STORY BRIEF:
Wealthy RJ owns a horse breeding and training farm. His daughter Margot has been attracted to Travis for years. Travis works for RJ as a horse trainer. At age 18, she tells Travis her feelings. He lies and says (page 18) (shaking his head as if enjoying a good joke) “Sorry, but no dice, Margot. Screwing a spoiled princess just isn’t my idea of a turn-on. You see, I’m only interested in real women. I don’t do pity.” Her father also says some things to hurt Margot, so she runs away to become an internationally famous model. Eight years later her father dies, and Margot returns to the farm. There is no money from the estate. To avoid selling the farm, Margot continues modeling to earn money to support the farm. She hires Travis to run the farm but doesn’t tell him of the money problems. A second story involves Jade, Margot’s stepsister. Margot becomes Jade’s guardian. Jade is difficult to get along with and has difficulties at school.

eh, the horse setting was pretty fun and I actually really liked her character, but I felt the first kiss RIGHT when she gets back was pretty unrealistic for what their relationship had been and what the situation they found themselves in at the moment was. That kinda pulled me out of the story and I never quite got back in.

I’ve waited so long for another book by Laura Moore, whose writing is such a pleasure to read. Her latest, "Remember Me" is written with exceptional care shown to language and detail, as well as plot and character. Her books weave passion onto the pages. She is a real writer!!
Set in the two milieus of high fashion modeling and Virginia horse farming, the backgrounds are terrific! The wonderfully well-developed and smart lead characters share a myriad of emotions. They are supported by an equally well-drawn cast of secondary characters. "Remember Me" is a story of love almost destroyed by a long history of misunderstandings. As a reader, I could feel the emotions of hurt, mistrust, and love in these characters. Plenty of pleasantly steamy romance and fun is included, too!
I didn’t want this book to end - thoroughly divine read - from beginning to ending! Looking forward to Book Two in The Rosewood Trilogy, "Believe In Me."

Laura Moore obviously knows horses. Her peek into the inner workings of a Virginia horse ranch was fascinating for someone who knows nothing about that world. Equally fascinating and in complete opposition was her heroine's supermodel lifestyle. I liked the dichotomy and it made for lots of conflict between her hero, Travis--the hunky ranch hand from the wrong side of the tracks--and her heroine, Margo--the rancher's daughter turned supermodel who has to come home to save the farm after once having been spurned by said ranch hand. When the two worlds collide, it makes for a wild and romantic ride! I found the story engaging and well written, with secondary characters worthy of their own stories. A perfect blend of steamy romance, family drama, and a hero and heroine worth rooting for! Great job, Ms. Moore.

This was cute. I've been reading easy going books, and this fit perfectly. :)
Review to Come...
October 25, 2009
I hate romance books. Hate them, hate them, hate them. But I surprised myself after I read this and found I actually liked it. It's got the usual heaving bosoms pressed up against sweaty chests, but the author is either a expert on horses or did a lot of research on them, because the information about how to run a stable and raise horses was fascinating (and interesting!). Oh sure, SOME of the writing was a little exasperating for me (exasperating in the same way that you don't understand why someone would run up the stairs instead of out of the house when Jason is coming after you with a machete) Put aside the fact that this is a romance book and enjoy a little sauciness by reading this. You'll learn a lot about horses in the process!

I don't usually like modern romances, but I do love romances involving horse people, so when I saw the horse farm on the cover in the library, and I happened to have nothing at home to read, I picked this up. It is just as cheesy as I anticipated. It is fluffy cheesy goodness. It is so lame that I cannot in good conscience actually recommend it to anyone, and yet ... I am enjoying it. I am sick in bed, I barely have two brain cells firing, and this is perfectly mindless entertainment - score!

Even though she was young, Margot Radcliffe fantasized about and lusted after sexy Travis Maher, the family's horse whisperer until he let her know they weren't going to happen. When her father refused her help on the ranch again, home was suddenly extremely unattractive. Making her own plans, tearful Margot dusted off her feelings and went to New York to find fame and fortune as a model.
Eight years later, tragedy touches the Radcliffe family. Their father and his wife are killed, leaving Margot and her sisters, Jordan a mother and wife with a marriage less stable than she thinks and stepsister, Jade, a surly teen. It's up to Margot to find a way to care for Jade and save the ancestral home. Not to mention her own career.
Margot's shocked to find she also has to find a way to make amends with Travis since no one knew exactly why her father fired him just before he died. Closed mouthed about the details of his leaving Rosewood, Travis grudgingly returns. Margot and Travis dance around their feelings as she hides the family's financial issues, parent Jade and tend her career and Travis tries to hide his feelings for Margot.
Pride, predictability and mixed messages had the leads hard pressed to stay out of their own way as the fashion industry and horse husbandry shared the spotlight. However, this fairly strong, medium-paced, heart-felt read with flawed characters had a bit of depth and would be a perfect beach or rainy day read.

Remember me was full of technical information about the horses and breeding program, and you learned interesting info without feeling like you were bombarded with a technical manual. The chemistry between Travis and Margot was electric, but my favorite two people to watch grow and change was Jade and Margot's relationship. Such a dynamic sister relationship, and it was really interesting to watch. Jade's book is the one I am most looking forward to actually. I hope we have met her HEA already, cause I have her paired in my mind!! I would highly recommend Remember Me to anyone who loves a great contemporary romance. I am looking forward to getting to know the rest of the Radcliffe girls!!

Very enjoyable read and probably could have been rated higher if I was really interested in horses, I tended to skim through a lo of that detail. I was very interested in Margot's glamourous super model life. Did choke me up in the end, but I felt it took to long for the characters to get together. Looking forward to second book in series.

I enjoyed this book. I loved the idea that Laura Moore took a supermodel and gave her a set of problems that any one of us could have; then she introduced romance and tied it up into a lovely story. Great read.

A very enjoyable summer read, the book was not bad at all and I read it in no time. The only thing that got on my nerves was that Margot didn't tell Travis from the beginning what the real situation was with the ranch.

Horses, romance, strong female lead character and sexy cowboys!

The reader meets Margot Radcliffe at a crossroad in her life. Gorgeous and headstrong, she wants a place by her father's side to run Rosewood, a first-class horse farm in Virginia. Her father and, more importantly, his new trophy wife, think marriage is a much better idea for Margot. Tempers flare, and Margot leaves her family to become a super-model. A tragedy forces Margo back to the farm and back to face the man she'd rather forget.
I know what you're thinking. Horse book? Syrupy romance? Erotica with hooves? If any of that were true (or offensive), I wouldn't tell you to READ THIS BOOK!
First, the "horse book" genre is populated with young adult and coming of age novels. This book is neither one of those. Yes, there is romance and yes, some steamy sections, but the similarity stops there!
Margot has to do what she can to keep her family's farm solvent. Along with stepping into her father's shoes as farm manager, she has to step up as parent to her half sister. The inner life Moore brings to her characters kept me turning the pages. Bad boy Travis is a treat. Oh, and the terrific descriptions of horse farms and the business of training helped too!
What I loved about this book is what readers don't see a lot of. Each of Moore's characters has a strong moral compass that keeps them on solid footing. Margot has to raise a teenager rattled by grief and determined to be, well, a teen. How Margot deals with the half sister is wonderful mix of love and muddling through the slop of life with only an inner compass to guide her.
Moore's writing is first rate and her story is tightly constructed and readable. Treat yourself and read book one of the Rosewood Trilogy, Remember Me.

CAN A LOVE BE LOST THAT WAS MEANT TO BE?
A rising star in the modeling world, Margot Radcliffe hasn’t forgotten the hurt that sent her running from Rosewood, the beautiful Virginia horse farm where she was raised. Travis Maher, a ruggedly handsome rebel and gifted horse trainer with a hard-knock past, had once captured Margot’s heart—only to break it.
But when tragedy strikes her family, Margot is forced to set aside her skyrocketing career and return to a place she never expected to see again, where the legs that everyone admires belong to Thoroughbreds, not supermodels. Now Rosewood Farm’s success depends on Margot, and the only person she can count on for help is the very man who so ruthlessly rejected her love all those years ago.
As Margot and Travis enter an uneasy truce to save Rosewood from financial ruin, their wild natures clash and their unresolved passions for each other begin to surge. But can this hard-edged horseman find a way to express his desire for the one woman he’s ever loved before she’s lost to him forever?
At first I thought Travis was a major pain because his attitude sucked and he was so aloof it made me sick; however, after Travis apologized to Margot I forgave him for his stubbornness. Margot was a great heroine. Smart,independent, and brave, she made Travis work for her affections. There is nothing sexier than a man who is persistent and passionate. That was exactly what Travis was. I was sad and a little angry at the end of this book, but in the end a happily ever after was just what the doctor ordered! Great book! I will be reading more of the Rosewood Trilogy to see what happens to the other sisters!

I loved it!
It's been on my shelf for months but I didn't even think to pick it up until I got bored and accidentally picked up this one. And boy, how could I not reading it!
First, this was my very first of Laura Moore's. The very reason I bought this (along with the other two) merely because of its cover. It's Paul Marron. :D And no, I didn't even read the back cover to find out what this novel is about. A gambler? A book hoarder? I don't know. You name it. So anyway, when I picked it up and read the back cover, I liked it right away.
I always love story where the female character is a famous figure and the male character has this low assumption about the job/career she has. And secretly, it eats him alive with jealousy knowing that men drool over her. But the truth is, she's not as bad as she may seems. It's more than meet the eyes. :)
I loved the characters in this book. Even though I was a bit annoyed with Jade's behavior at first, I fell in love with hers easily. I loved the interactions and the bounds between them, Margot, Jordan, Jade, Travis, and even Ned. It's so comforting to know you have someone to hold on to. I liked Margot for being strong and brave. I liked Travis for being nice and sensitive but tough for others at the same time. I loved their chemistry.
I think it's a very nice, light, sweet and comforting reading. I really enjoy reading it and loved it since it involves family bonding.
And reading the excerpt of Believe in Me at the end of this book makes me want to kick Richard hard in the butt and do the voodoo to make him suffer. Drat!

A pleasant surprise. I was all set to not like this book, since it had many of the characteristics that make me crazy in a romance - horses; people with more money than they know what to do with; a runaway that not only has no bad experiences, but becomes the world's top model without even realizing how beautiful she is; and an abundance of other cliches: the great-looking guy from the wrong side of the tracks who's in love with the boss's daughter (but of course can't let on), a father who doesn't believe women are good for anything but decoration, a wicked stepmother, and (later in the book) cyberbullying.... well, you get the picture.
However.
By the middle of the book, I actually found myself caring about these characters and buying into the whole improbable scenario. In fact, since this is book 1 in a series, I'm tempted - almost - to look for book 2. Almost. The "preview" at the end was a little off-putting.
The resolution was rather hasty - 40 pages left to go to the end, and the HEA was nowhere in sight - but all in all, a satisfying read. And if you like horses, you'll probably like this book!

October 14, 2011Well I usually try and stay away from reunion novels because in the beginning the heroine always ends up hurt in a F'd up way by the 'hero', Moore's Remember Me doesnt deviate from that, But I did enjoy the fact that Travis wasn't all he seemed to be but thats the usual case in these kinds of stories. I think the most I enjoyed was the relationship between Margot and Jade, how it changed from acid to base. Travis was all yummy hot and brooding but I think the misunderstood was not cool in this situation because he never made his feeling clear to Margot but I really did like Margot shes a model for how a girl want to be when she grows up loyal understanding caring and honest (to a fault). Yeah I think she was wrong to deceive Travis AND Ned keeping the truth from them. But the ending was awesome everything got resolved, I did have some issues with things that happened or the way they acted like Travis lashing out the way he does whenever his pride or heart hurt. The characters werent perfect they were realisticly complicated, but to say they complimented each other would be exceedingly misleading. Comingling scenes were H.O.T hot ! btw

A goood read, characters well developed, and a good story line. Margot leaves home to become a model after her father refuses to let her help manage Rosewood, a horse-breeding farm in Virginia -- and the man she loves has cast her aside. She does become a world-famous model, her father and step-mother are killed in an airplane crash, she becomes guardian of her half-sister, Jade, who is more than a handful. To make matters worse, her father has left Rosewood millions of dollars in debt, so Margot must assume management of the ranch, keep and/or get Jade out of numerous scrapes, maintain her modeling career to make enough money to keep Rosewood afloat, while keeping Travis, the man she has always loved, and Ned, formerly the barn manager but now Travis' assistant, from learning the precarious financial situation that Rosewood is in. The story turns out well, but it was a difficult time for everyone.

More than 4.5 than 5 full stars, but it's only that the book suffered of the 1st-book-of-a-series illness ;)
The story was good and even if at the beginning Margot was really sad I admired her courage and spirit in the end.
The story is simple, Margot is the middle sister of a family of 3 sisters, the last one a half-sister, being daughter of the second wife of her father. She doesn't like her step-mother (and her step-mother simply hates her) and has a conflicting relationship with her father. She loved only horses and Travis. But the latter refused her and she cannot work with horses anymore as her father wants her to become the perfect wife of someone. So she runs away and becomes a model. But the sudden deaths of her step-mother and father forces her to come back and face the ghosts of her past.
A really good story, recommended. I'm alredy onto the next one!

This review is from: Remember Me: A Rosewood Novel (The Rosewood Trilogy) (Kindle Edition)
This book was written well and the story line captures you from the beginning. The characters are likable, energetic, determined, and brave. My main difficulty with this book is that there is no closure with the deaths of the father and stepmother. His unforgiving attitude toward Margot was never dealt with. The stepmother's traitorous, spiteful behavior toward Margot was never dealt with. I realize that there are two sequels dealing with the other two sisters but these things were a part of Margot's story, not either one of her sisters. This story is not complete when these ghosts haven't been laid to rest. Having said this, it is still an excellent read and I highly recommend it.
April 1, 2013
Ms. Moore has a way about her writing that literally leaves you grasping for more. Her amazing structure and insight--the depth--she draws you inside the character's minds really has you genuinely caring for each.
This grip she manages to ensnare on you will leave you up for hours at a time, on fire to turn the page, in order to find out what happens next.
While some parts of the book slow the novel down, and really don't push forward the plot, the last half of the book makes it all worth while. You'll fall in love with both characters just as they do with each other.
Four out of five stars for a job well done.
This grip she manages to ensnare on you will leave you up for hours at a time, on fire to turn the page, in order to find out what happens next.

Readers!! I loved this one..finally a romance which had character and an element of thrill to it. The entire landscape of the farm cottage overlooking the breeding farm for horses was a treat! I loved the subtle chemistry which was described by the author and the long descriptions of sexual passion just made the book perfect. Very well described emotions and feelings for sure! This book has a sequel which I am dying to get my hands on, but it is not available somehow...if any of you have read the sequel, let me know if the dream comes true!? :))) Happy Reading! :)) Smiles, scherry :))

I loved it! I liked that there was so much description of the setting and how the horses were a part of the story, not just a convenient source of money. I used to ride, so it was great to be wrapped in that world again. The characters were well-developed enough that at times I was irritated with them. I can't wait to read the next book.

Old fashioned and predictable, and one of those books where all that is keeping the h & h apart is their inability to tell each other the truth. Reminded me of soap operas I used to watch as a kid in the early 1980s. I can see how it would appeal to many readers (especially horse-lovers), but it wasn't my cup of tea at all.

I can't believe I haven't read Laura Moore before. I picked the book on a fluke and couldn't put it down. I loved the love story and the troubled sibling relationship. I cannot wait to read the next book. I already read the excerpt and I can tell I'll be reading it in one day. If you haven't read this, you absolutely have to check it out.

Not my normal read, but the story line was interesting. It certainly kept my attention. The writing just wasn't there for me. There was too much detail about objects and not enough detail about relationships. There seemed to be parts left out too. The developing relationships and even the broken relationships weren't developed well at all.

This is my first by Ms Moore, and, it won't be my last. Remember Me is all about strength. Strong bigger than life men and women living with the most beautiful horses. Our Heroine is not only so beautiful, she becomes a famous fashion model, but she has such love for her family and her man.
I loved this so much I ordered the rest of the series.

Man this book was one of the best books I have ever read, it made me happy, sad, cry all in one weekend when I picked up this book I couldn't put it back down I'm happy to say I'm a proud owner of this book. So when I finally got hold of the rest of the books of the series I was so excited I couldn't wait to start my weekend!!!!
