Providence Gold #1
Until Fools Find Gold
Luna
Two years ago, my dad had packed us up in the middle of the night and we’d left town. We weren’t allowed to contact anyone or look back – until now. I’d run away, going back to the only security I’d ever known with my best friend Levi and his family.
Coming home was hard. Although I got to see my best friend again, it also meant seeing the man I’d been in love with since I was six years old – Noah Townsend. Working for him brings us into close contact and makes my no fraternization with the family members of my friends rule difficult.
One trip to Vegas to visit his friend Sven and a lot of alcohol later, I woke up Mrs. Townsend.
The problem was, I didn’t wake up in our hotel room or with him beside me.
Noah
“Don’t touch my best friend” my brother told me. It’s like being told not to push the button – you bide your time until no one’s around and then pounce.
Now that Luna was back, I was pushing the damn button, and I didn’t care what he had to say about it. She’s mine to protect, mine to love, just plain mine.
My trip to Vegas wasn’t for the reasons that I told her it was, and there was little room for things to go wrong. But I woke up the morning after our wedding and she was gone.
Luna is my wife, my world, my boom, and I will find her.

About the author
Mary B. Moore
50 books1,035 followersI’m a British author who grew up all over the world. My parents were diplomats, so we were posted to all of the corners of the earth and it was a blast. Some wouldn’t seem so awesome if you heard about them, but my parents always made it a fun experience and it molded my brother and I into who we are today.
I live in Wiltshire in the west country of the UK. At random times of the day, I’ll hear a moo from the fields around me, or get a whiff of that…uhhh…’country air’, and I love it! I might not have grown up in the UK, but I’m a British girl to the bone (regardless of the suspicious whiffs coming in from the fields).
I’m a single mother with a son who is nearing his teenage phase. Maybe he’s reached it early? Who knows. But he’s awesome and has a personality and sense of humor that I can only attribute to my family. We’re slightly bonkers, we have a wicked sense of humor and we find the positives in every situation. I’m so proud to be his mum and to watch him grow and mature.
Writing was something that I’d always done. I had a teacher in the third grade who always set us the task of writing a story and making it into a book every weekend. After I left school, I kept this up and wrote as often as I could or just plotted out books. This evolved into me taking the plunge and publishing my first book in 2016 and I’ve been typing ever since.
I’m proud to be an Indie Author, and I absolutely love writing out my crazy Providence characters and the more complex ones in my other series’. It doesn’t matter if it’s romantic comedy or something with more suspense – so long as it has a HEA I’ll do it!
I’ve got so many more planned, so the best is yet to come.

This story wasnt for me. Luna was too frustrating for me. I guess, she was supposed to be funny and quirky, but she come more like immature or/and an idiot. I struggled to finish.
May 20, 2019
As much as i wanted to finish this book i skimmed the rest i made it to about 60%. i couldn't handle it anymore.. it was Luna (h) i had trouble liking she was coming off very annoying and kinda childish....for a girl who has been through 4 years of abuse/starvation she's very annoying im sorry but it is.. i liked Noah i just wish i could stand reading this story.. 😐 to enjoy the couple.. also the family cool..

New for me author! Yay!
I have not read this author before (at least I don't think I have), but this book is part of the world of Aurora Rose Reynolds' Until Series which I love so I took a chance and it paid off with a new author for me to read.

Luna is the bomb! Her thoughts that she filters out through her mouth had me laughing! She was just so refreshing as a character. I could totally relate to her as a person. The Harry Potter phrases? Yes! She's accident prone, funny and loveable. I can see why she brings the protective instincts of those around her.
When she finally escapes from her father after years of being kept hidden away, abused and neglected when she gets her chance she flees. She doesn't have much time and her only thought is calling her best friend Levi.
When Levi gets the call he's in his car and on his way. It's the call they've been waiting for, they never gave up hope of getting her back. Safe and surrounded by people who love her and will protect her with everything they have.
Noah is Levi's older brother. He's been in love with Luna for years. But age played a major factor in why he did not pursue her in the past. It wasn't a huge gap but for him it may as well have been. Throw in the fact that Levi warned him off her and you get the picture. But now that he has her back and the age thing is irrelevant Noah makes his move.
Throw in a family who are absolutely gold, a protective Levi, Luna's big brother Maddix and her new guard dog Vlad poor Noah has his work cut out for him.
With the threat of her father still hanging over all of their heads its not going to be smooth sailing. There's skydiving, a quickie wedding and then everything goes to hell. Luna is missing. Taken in the middle of the night. Getting her back is Noah's only goal.
I laughed. Laughed some more. But amongst the laughter there was pain. For what Luna had to endure at the hands of someone who is suppose to love you unconditionally. Her father.
A welcome addition to the Until world.

This one is the start of the cousins to the Townsend clan we all know and love and if you haven't read The Providence Series that started it all you are missing out on some brilliantly done laugh out loud, intriguing, twisty, and hot AF sexy men and the women whom love them!! We as readers actually meet most of these characters in Until Tom, Finding Forever. So see it's paramount in my opinion to reading them first...especially when you get to meet Taint oops I mean Tate Townsend too lol! But I digress this isn't his book so here we go.....
Luna "Miss. Priss." is in a heap a trouble and is need of help...it's been 2 years since the Townsend clan has heard or seen her. And man when they do it's horrible at what her bestfriend Levi finds the state she's in. I mean how can someone do this to this waif of a woman?? Someone that should be taking care of her but is seriously one of the worst POS I've encountered. So yes this means the Townsend clan to the rescue. And boy do they take, taking care of someone to that next level...she can't go anywhere alone. Poor Luna has so much to deal with and the nightmares or flashbacks do not help the situation. Trust this is NOT all dark and gloomy though we still are dealing with the Townsend clan so you know you still got some outrageous things happening throughout the book.
Noah Townsend well what can I say he is one sexy HOT AF sexy alpha male that has been secretly in love with Miss Priss for like forever. He was just waiting on her to grow up a little I mean only 4 years apart in age but still he wanted to wait. That was taken away from him though and she was gone and missing for four years. He's constantly being warned away and off from his own brother Levi.....but hey you can't come between true love right?? The stars have finally aligned and it's his chance to claim what's his...one night in Vegas, marriage and oops bride is missing so what happens next?? Well I think you should read the book and it might or might not involve Grandpa and Grandma Townsend doing a Bonnie and Clyde moment maybe??
Just a warning ****DO NOT drink HOT liquids**** while reading could cause some spewing from the laugh out loud moments and cause some major damage to yourself and kindle just saying.
I do have one quote from the book I thought I would share with you and it's Noah talking to Luna so here goes....
"I'm yours, only yours. Just like you're mine. Nothing will change that, because from now on, this is us. Now do you get that?"
Swoon worthy right??? I really think so. Oh and wait til you see what Noah is driving and I can't wait for Cole Townsend to find out and watch what happens. I mean seriously that man loves his Mustang oh and maybe a unicorn or two too!
And I just want to thank Mary B. Moore for keeping this avid book reader so freaking entertained and keep them coming I am a one-clicking fangirling girl who can't wait for the next book. Madix or Tate whom's it going to be? And want to say a huge humbled, honored, and making my heart smile thank you for the dedication at the beginning of the book it meant everything I mean everything to this small town girl from Indiana that just loves to read.
Thanks Jamie Nibarger Ellis

Easy romance story. It' s the first book I read from this author.
I find the heroine Luna a bit immature and sometimes her reactions are childish. The hero, Noah is protective, sexy and deep in love with her. His family "the Townsends" and now hers family too, has amazing dynamic and well written characters, that you will love to read about. His mum, his dad, his elder brother Levi, his young brother, his cousins....even a new guard dog who answers to name Vlad! The story is easy to read, with a lot of funny moments.
The book is part of a series but you can read as a standalone. (I was wondering about all those characters... )

Luna's dad took her away from home two years ago and in that time his behavior towards her has only gotten worse. Luna finally escapes and calls her best friend Levi who comes and takes her home. Knowing her dad is still after her they swarm to protect Luna but Levi warns his brother Noah away.
Noah though knows Luna is his one, his boom. He knows he needs to give her time to get used to the idea but Noah has no plans in letting her go. Can he keep her safe from the threat still trying to hurt her?
This was great. The characters were quirky and had some really funny laugh out loud moments. Loved Noah and Luna together. I need to check out more from this author.

This was a cute story. I have never read this author but I did enjoy her writing. I loved the H from the beginning. I liked the h but some of her antics were OTT. The family dynamic is this story made me wanna read her other series. They remind me of ARRs Mayson family.

Noah and Luna’s story was just what I needed. Hilarious dialogue. A dash of action and some sweet chemistry. Definitely enjoyed this one.

I was lucky to receive an ARC of this novella by new to me author Mary B. Moore and boy am I glad I did. From page one, I was immediately drawn into the story and literally could not put it down from start to finish.
After last years Happily Ever Alpha world was such a success, I was excited to get my hands on this years stories, a crossover by numerous authors, into their own worlds, intermixed with that of Aurora Rose Reynolds Until world, and this story was a huge hit for me.
We meet Luna on page one, she’s gone through some kind of trauma and is on the run, the only person she can turn to, her best friend whom she was ripped away from years ago, Levi Townsend, who, upon hearing the voice of his lost friend, rallies his family to bring her home and keep her safe. Though when she wakes, it’s not Levi who is protecting her, but his older brother, Noah, whom she has always had a crush on, but didn’t have time to find out, his feelings were the same.
Noah has been kicking himself since Luna disappeared, it was almost the right time to reveal his feelings, his brother be damned, but then she was gone. Now she’s back, Noah will protect her with everything he has, she’s his Boom, and no one is taking her away this time.
Having not read anything by this author previously, I am not sure where these characters fit into her world, but that did not matter one iota. This short, but perfectly formed story has everything, great characters, is action packed, funny and a perfect Happy ever after.
Luna is a strong, accident prone, hilariously funny woman, who blurts out what’s on her mind without thought. It’s endearing and I instantly fell in love with her.
Noah is 100% alpha, he takes everything Luna throws at him with a smile on his face, and a fierce determination that nothing bad will touch her again.
I am in love with this story and these characters and have now downloaded everything Townsend related written by this fabulous author, to catch up with the story so far. 5 (fools) gold stars!

Until Fools Find Gold: A Providence Gold Series and Until Series Crossover by Mary B. Moore, is a brilliantly told story that I became obsessed with. I was consumed by these characters. My heart broke, then mended, my tears were plentiful, then I would laugh hysterically. A rollercoaster of emotions felt is putting it mildly. I was totally caught up in all that was Luna and Noah. This couple shredded me. The made me whole again. A tumultuous affair that touched my heart indescribably and entirely. Having not read Mary B. Moore's work before, I went in with an open mind. And then it was blown away. Stories such as this one will never cease to thrill, impress and humble me. They give so much more than you could ever anticipate, and they leave you ready for more, but with such a sense of fulfilment and contentment, you almost need a little lay down to recover from the emotional ride you just survived. You know you have something special whenever the first page is turned, and that is a feeling like no other. 5 stars.

TW: abuse
So there's a 4 year difference which is not much of an age gap, but he's also liked her since she was 16though he didn't pursue her at the time because he knew she was too young
Everyone mentions the heroine being annoying but I didn't write anything about that on my notes and I did menage to finish the book so I don't think she was THAT bad. To be honest I can't remember, I read this book in 2020 and it's 2023that's what I get for being a lazy bitch
Safety:
-the h is a virgin, no info on the hero
-no cheating
-no drama
-2 epilogues

This story wasn't for me. I didn't care for how Luna was written. The jokes and her actions were very childish. Like other reviewers I got to the point of skimming parts of the book. All in all the story was poorly written. There were times I thought about throwing the towel in and not finishing the book but I muddled through it. First time I have read this author and not sure I will read anything else.
November 19, 2019
What grabbed my attention was the plot of this book. She's running away from her father after years of abuse and finally gets help from friends that she could contact. Yeah, the book is falling-for-my-best-friends-brother kind of thing but more have-always-been-in-love-with-my-brothers-best-friend. I thought that this book was going to be a bit more contemporary with yeah I ran away from my abusive father and hide out at vegas and waking up in vegas married kind of felling. Yeah, it's not that book, this book does talk about the subject of abuse but does not talk about it in full but it is also hysterically funny. This is an alpha male trying to stake his claim on his lady.
April 5, 2019
Looking for book full of laugh out loud moments, plenty of steam a sprinkle of suspense and action look no further. A great read that I couldn't put down, I really liked all the characters and I'm looking forward to read more of them.
April 14, 2019
Until Fools Find Gold is a beautiful and emotional story about love, friendship, and loyalty. The perfect mix of heavy and light, sweet and sexy, and explosive character chemistry. You will cry, you will laugh, you will fall in love.

Regarding safety, the h was young when she was taken away. The H was older, knew he felt something for her but didn't want to be a pervert. There was no talk about the H being with anyone but there was mention during the safe sex talk since they weren't using condoms that he knew he was clean. She was a virgin. The constant trying to be funny was a bit much and got annoying. It was a good story, didn't care for the writing style.

This book was rushed, and the situations and dialogues were ridiculous.
The first chapter was intriguing, but that’s the only good thing about this book. The next chapter is three months later, where it seems like Luna never left. There are several time jumps.
From the description it sounded like this was a Vegas wedding with a bit of a workplace romance. None of that is true, or at least it’s not shown enough to make it true. Firstly, sure, Luna supposedly helps out with some administrative stuff, but that’s never shown, and neither is Noah ever shown really working. The reason she’s in constant contact with Noah and his family is because they’re guarding her, so eventually she moves in with Noah so that he can make sure that she’s safe from her father.
Maybe I missed it, but I don’t recall Luna having a no fraternisation rule, or if she did, then it obviously wasn’t significant enough. The trip to Vegas felt like it happened near the end of the book so I don’t think that it should have been mentioned in the description, especially given that the only thing that happens after that is that they find Luna.
I didn’t like the characters because of the dialogues and their dramatic personalities/actions. I can tell that the dialogues and internal thoughts were supposed to be funny, but I found them random and ridiculous. For example, Luna is sleeping in a bed, wakes up and is convinced that there is a snake in the bed, then she hears Noah’s voice (because he’s sleeping next to her) and keeps panicking and telling him that there is a snake. Turns out it was his arm… Then when Noah tells her that it’s not a snake, she realises that she’s scared of the dark and starts to panic again. Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood, but it seems out of place.
The way the suspense plot line is introduced, with Luna managing to get away and call Levi, had serious undertones, but the way the characters act for the rest of the book is ridiculous and makes no sense.
I didn’t like this book, and I’m definitely not continuing with this series, and I’m probably not going to try other books by this author.

5 Stars
WOW!! I loved loved loved this book...How is this my first read by this author??? I knew from the first couple sentences that I wouldn't be able to put this book down and I was right. I read it start to finish in one sitting and hated when it was over.
This book started right out having me on the edge of my seat, and falling in love with characters from one phone call. Levi!! **sigh** I want one… Well shoot I'll take a Noah too LOL
This story hit on every thing I love in my books, not to mention the amazing writing style and the perfect flow throughout. I love this family and the bonds they share and how they step up to protect what is theres. Luna was AMAZING, even after all she had been through her strength shined through and I loved the interaction with her and all the brothers, and she literally cracked me up. I know for a fact I will never be able to think of or talk about apple juice ever again without laughing out loud...That rates up there with one of the funniest scenes in a book I've ever read and I had tears laughing so hard.
While checking out what else this author has available I have come to realize this is the start of a new series that started with another series….Yes!! I will have all of those and will be reading them as soon as possible.
I love finding new authors, especially when they are new authors that check off every favorite thing I have when reading, and I will be following and reading everything and anything this author comes out with.

WOW!! I loved loved loved this book...How is this my first read by this author??? I knew from the first couple sentences that I wouldn't be able to put this book down and I was right. I read it start to finish in one sitting and hated when it was over.
This book started right out having me on the edge of my seat, and falling in love with characters from one phone call. Levi!! **sigh** I want one… Well shoot I'll take a Noah too LOL
This story hit on every thing I love in my books, not to mention the amazing writing style and the perfect flow throughout. I love this family and the bonds they share and how they step up to protect what is theres. Luna was AMAZING, even after all she had been through her strength shined through and I loved the interaction with her and all the brothers, and she literally cracked me up. I know for a fact I will never be able to think of or talk about apple juice ever again without laughing out loud...That rates up there with one of the funniest scenes in a book I've ever read and I had tears laughing so hard.
While checking out what else this author has available I have come to realize this is the start of a new series that started with another series….Yes!! I will have all of those and will be reading them as soon as possible.
I love finding new authors, especially when they are new authors that check off every favorite thing I have when reading, and I will be following and reading everything and anything this author comes out with.
LOVED IT!!!!

Unfortunately I was a fool to waste my time finishing this book, because I knew very early on that I would not find anything even remotely resembling gold in this pile of words. I am going to try not to let myself get carried away reviewing this book, but as I am sure you are already realizing, I did not like this book, at all.
To start, the writing was subpar, complete with lengthy internal monologues, extreme telling syndrome, childish internal jokes, and an over abundance of exclamation marks. The characters were flat with absolutely no development, and several plot elements didn't make real life sense, like the romance. Don't even get me started on the romance, it was by far the least realistic romance I have ever had the good fortune to come across. All of the communication was one sided with Noah constantly telling (or internally monologuing) how much he loves Luna. They barely ever discuss actually entering into a relationship they just kinda randomly start have sex and despite Luna's reservations on having kids, they decide not to use a condom. Noah is basically doing his best to get Luna barefoot and pregnant at 21 after heavy abuse for 4 years, not cool. Especially since Luna has the maturity of a 16 year old. Not to mention how poorly the trauma of aforementioned abuse is handled, and the whole hunt for Luna when she goes missing... suddenly these farmers are super spy James Bond types?
This book made my brain hurt. I don't think I will be picking up another book by the author, in fact that is something I will actively avoid.

Prue has watched and waited for an opportunity to get away from her dad. When it happens, she immediately calls her best friend Levi. Noah has waited for ages to get a call about Prue. Before she vanished, she was his brother's bestie and off limits. Now that she is back, he is not going to let his brother stop him from having his future with Prue. Will fate finally allow Prue to have a life and love to call her own with the man she has crushed on for years?
When Fools Find Gold was a unique story with some heavy subject matter balanced with humor and love. Prue has only known love and care from Levi and his family. When she was stolen away by her father, she was treated like an animal and eventually traded like one. Once she knew her father's plan, she managed to escape. Levi brings her back home to his family's property and she starts to heal. When she has been back for a little while, Noah takes the opportunity to get closer to her. His love and attention are exactly what Prue needs. I hadn't read anything by Mary B. Moore before but after the fun I had with the Townsend's, I will be rectifying that very soon. The care that Noah's family has for Prue is so sweet and the attraction between Noah and Prue is adorable. I can see why Aurora Rose Reynolds wanted it to be part of her Alpha world. There are more stories centered around this family to dive into but I was able to read Until Fools as a stand alone without any problems. 4.5 stars for Noah and Prue!

Noah & Luna: triggers- domestic abuse, sexual assault, prostitution, kidnapping, drugs, selling of children, PTSD, torture. Okay so as a book from MBM’s “Providence Gold” series, I guess it was okay but as a part of ARR’s “Happily Ever Alpha” world that connects to the “Until Him/Her” series, this does not do it. Once again, I must say that merely mentioning the “BOOM” or characters from the original series does not automatically make a connection to the series. Plus, the author mentioned that Noah and his brothers grew up with Luna and he didn't see her that way until they were in the book’s current timeframe. But we know that the “BOOM” is basically love at first sight. I did love the element of danger with this book, but please explain to me the purpose of having a guard dog but then not even utilizing him for the purpose of this part of the story. 🤦🏾♀️. That to me makes that part of the story unnecessary. Luna was a little much but given how she was raised, it was almost understandable. She lacked a lot of common sense but she's definitely funny. Noah is definitely an alpha male and really took on protecting her. What I didn't like was the way his brother was with her. Even though that is her best friend, it seemed a bit over the top, like a man “in love” not just a friend that loves a friend. There are some laugh out loud moments and I enjoyed that so all in all, the book is okay but does not connect well to the ARR series, which is why I'm reading this book.

Until Fools Find Gold: A Providence Gold Series and Until Series Crossover

5 out of 5 stars
The story Until Fools Find Gold: A Providence Gold Series and Until Series Crossover by Mary B. Moore is a wonderful book that I enjoyed reading. It drew me in and I found myself lost in the story. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Luna and Noah. Luna is a young woman whose father has packed them up and left town. No contact to be make with anyone. She has run away and now is in the security of her best friend Levi and his family. She also finds herself close to Noah. Noah has been warned to stay away from Luna. There is an attraction that can’t be denied. He is protective of her, he is determined to keep her safe. He wakes up the day after their wedding and she is gone. He vows to find her. Read this book for the full story of Luna and Noah. This is a book that is romantic and also humorous. The bantering between the characters made me smile. There are also some scenes that are steamy and will have you reaching for a cold glass of water. I also enjoyed reading about the character of Levi. He is a good friend to Luna and cares about her. I grew to care about Luna and Noah with each chapter that I read. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story that you won’t want to put down until you have read the final page. Highly recommended.

This was my firts time reading a Mary B. Moore book and I loved it. My attention gripped this book from the first page. Where the hell has this author been Hiding. She writes amazingly and never gives a second for you to be bored.
This book is about Luna and Noah. They know each other from the time they were kids. Levi who is Noah's Brother is Luna's Best friend. Luna becomes part of their family from a very young age. They protect and love her fiercely.
Luna comes from what bad dreams are made of. This girl has everything that can go with someone, go wrong.
Her father is an arsehole that needs to be fed to the sharks and his death must slow.
I'm so glad that Noah finally makes her his. I was thrilled she had them all as her family because she really does deserve all the happiness in the world.
Noah, Noah, Noah, Sighhhhhh. This guy is hot, sexy and EVERYTHING we love in alpha Hero's. He loves and protects Luna like she is a Princess infact his whole family does.
They make her happy and would move heaven and earth for her.
This book was heavy with suspence and heartbreaking scenes but there was alot of LOL Funny scenes and Plenty of Panty Melting Sex scenes.
All in All this books was fantastic and a great way for me start this WORLD.....
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did....

Until Fools Find Gold: A Providence Gold Series and Until Series Crossover by Mary B. Moore. OMG. Brilliant just brilliant. Even though the underlying story of abuse and horrible acts with is heartbreaking but this is the funniest thing I have read in a long time. Mary B. Moore I salute you, you have written something so unique and original that you have created a masterpiece. I read this story in one go as there was no way I wanted to put it down as I was so engrossed and immersed in this wonderfully woven world. The story is so magical it had me on the edge of my seat through to the end and I was howling with laughter out loud so much that I was crying and my husband checked on me several times to make sure I was ok. Mary B has very cleverly written something that completely throws you as you never know what to expect.
Luna had been dealt a sh*t hand in a father that treats her less than human but she has a family who loves her, if only she can get back to them. When her best friend receives a call the family do everything in their power to get there before the evil can take her away again.
This is a brilliant start to the series that is so much more. This without a doubt is the best book I have read this year and Mary B is now up on a pedestal of great authors. I absolutely will be making sure I can get everything she has written or will write.

My goodness gracious, I just could not for the life of me get enough of Until Fools Find Gold: A Providence Gold Series and Until Series Crossover. I'll be completely frank here when I tell you that I solely chose this book based off the cover. It snagged my eyes and drew me in and I just had to read it. No questions asked. I have never heard of Mary B. Moore, never read her works or the previous novels this springs forth from, but it was all good. Every page consumed me. Ms. Moore has one hell of a talent for writing some emotive characters, and I found myself wrapped up in my feelings from the very start of the novel till the very end. I am so darn excited that there is going to to be more books with the same people/family and that there is a whole series that I have not had a chance to read yet. I will be devouring those as soon as I possibly can. This one however was all about Luna and Noah and my word they were just divine. Luna has been to hell and back and she will break your heart before she puts it back together. Noah is well, besides delicious and sweet, just the perfect man for her. He has waited a very long time for the time to be right to finally have a shot with Luna. These two and their journey is one story you will not soon forget. I know I won’t and it will grace my bookshelves at home ASAP too. Thank you so much for the fabulous read Ms. Moore.

Until Fools Find Gold by Mary B. Moore took me on quite a ride. I didn’t expect to like it quite as much as I did, or to be completely swept up in the story as everything played out.
Luna and Levi were the best of friends, inseparable- until her father whisked her away in the middle of the night- with no contact, since. But now she’s in trouble and the only person she can trust to truly help her is Levi.
Back in the only place she ever felt secure, means seeing Noah again too. Luna and Noah both have feelings for one another, something they never spoke about or acted on, because he was her best friends’ older brother, and she was made off-limits by his brother. But now she’s back and Noah won’t let her slip through his fingers again. But her past doesn’t seem to want to let her go- and things are about to get ‘interesting’.
This story has so much going on in it, in a good way- from friendship and loyalty- to chemistry, love and emotion, there was so much to like about this book. Plenty of laughs helped to balance all the emotional, dramatic moments- and the characters tied it all together.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Moore!
Thank you, Ms. Moore!

Really glad I tried this book
Noah and Luna had some really funny moments in this book. There were times I was seriously laughing out loud.
It wasn’t overly angsty or anxiety producing compared to other books I’ve tried. There were some oh no and drama filled moments when bad guys were involved. But it still ended up being safe.
I liked all the dogs included. But Dachshund was spelled wrong multiple times in the book at the back. I have two, so that was disappointing.
Noah was really likable as was his brother Levi. There’s a hilarious scene with the brother Tate.
Luna was likable enough. She seemed to come off as kind of air headed or stupid-ish at times. For example, she couldn’t seem to remember anything they’d told her about how the oil field drills worked for example. And sometimes I felt like she was a bit too crass.
Sex scenes weren’t terrible. I’d have liked more details, but I like a very naughty and overly graphic scene the best. So I think these will be enough for most people. The first one took place around the 50% mark.
I’m going to grab the second book now since it’s out. So yes, I’d recommend this one.

Until Fools Find Gold

5 stars
This story was such an amazing read! And what a wonderful introduction to Mary B Moore as an author! I was hooked from beginning to end and found it really difficult to find a place where I could actually put the book down so I could actually do some real life things! Luna was just the best character to read about! She made me laugh so much at times, it was really refreshing to read about her actually especially considering everything she endured during her childhood – I just loved her! I think I fell in love with Levi as soon as I started reading about him! He may have just been the perfect guy to read about and then there was Noah! Two perfect brothers!!
There was so much going on in this story and I truly went on such an emotional journey, from laughter to tears! I really felt for Luna and the pain she suffered but also really admired the strength she had to escape!
Until Fools Find Gold was a wonderful read, one that I highly recommend and I absolutely cannot wait to read more from this author again in the future!
