Powerless against the chemistry wrapping them together, Kellen and Sloan must decide what they’re willing to lose in order to win each other.Sloan:The moment Kellen Steele stepped out of his truck and I heard his deep voice I knew I was in trouble. He had this pull; no matter how hard I tried to stay away I failed. Staying in Three Rivers was never the plan, knowing my past is bound to catch up … bound to catch up with me.
Kellen:
I know my reputation: broody, mysterious, notoriously dangerous, depending on who you ask. Sloan doesn’t know my past, giving me a clean slate. It takes all of three seconds to set my sights on the new girl in town. I should have let her walk away, but my greed won out. Being with me comes at a steep price, one I’m not sure either of us can pay.

Emily Bowie wrote a fun series!
Now on to Brax’s story!
Moonlight Moments is the second book in the Steele Family. I thought the story was interesting, and the twists kept me turning the pages. The characters Kellan and Sloan were so good together, and they had great chemistry. I liked that the other Steele family members were in the story too. And I got to say Kellan redeemed himself in this book, he seemed like his attitude changed for the better, and he put others before himself. Which is good since I didn’t really care for him in the first book Stolen Moments, so I was a little leery about reading this book.. I’m looking forward to Brax and Raya’s story next.
This was an amazing book. I knew from the beginning that I would love it and I wasn’t disappointed. I loved the storyline and the characters and how it gave hints of the next book as well. A fantastic, well written and very enjoyable story.
This was a good read. I liked Sloan and Kellen, They had great chemistry and their attraction was intense. The storyline was interesting and kept me engaged. Both characters had baggage that had to be dealt with and worked through. Dramatic, emotional, sweet and steamy, I thought that this was a enjoyable read.
A riveting story of two people dealing with turmoil and a past they are trying to put behind them. The couple, Sloan and Keelen, stand by each other and fall in love, get engaged and plan their future.
Seeing the broken-down car he stops, the woman is breathtaking, looking at her he wants to take her in his arms, thinking it could be he’s just out of jail, but knows it’s not, but lets her know the problem, offering her a life, again seeing uncertainty in her eyes.
Everyone keeps telling her to stay away from Kellen and learns some of why. After Kellen helped her at work, she tells him she doesn’t interact with murderers, she doesn’t know if it was the right thing to say, but he’s there to make sure she gets home safely, she reminds him they aren’t friends.
The electricity sizzles and they develop a friendship, Kellen has secrets he knows he can’t tell her even if he wants to, he has to let her believe what she hears about him.
She can’t deny the attraction, but she knows she has to be free from her past and learn to trust again. Everyone keeps warning her away but he’s slowly warming her heart. Kellen wants to be the one to make her smile, have her next to him, but what happens when everything comes out.
“He is my moonlight that shines down on me, making me see that there is more than darkness.”
Sloan and Kellen held my heart from their first chance meeting!! The dance around each other, the push/pull, the intoxicating way they each fell but tried to fight it, all swirled in with a suspenseful backdrop in the tiny town of Three Rivers was off the charts!! I’ve loved Kellen from the first book, and eagerly awaited his story, and each second of it was so well worth it!! He’s so yummy, and he and Sloan were fire, even with mounting obstacles dead set on keeping them apart. Having to deal with each of their skeletons while simultaneously falling, kept me up to the wee hours inhaling each and every word. I can’t wait to return to Three Rivers for the next book!! This one is going on my Top Reads of the year, and I can’t wait for more!! I thank the Author for providing a copy to review!!

Reviews on goodreads. Amazon. BookBub. The book addicts.
I wasn’t expecting that!! Whew !! I love the Steele’s. I can’t wait for for !! This was a wonderful story!!
Moonlight Moments by Emily Bowie is a fantastic book! I couldn’t put my kindle down! This is the second book in her Steele Family series. This is the second book by this author Emily Bowie that I have read and she didn’t disappoint at all with this book.
Moonlight Moments explores the budding romance between Kellen Steele and Sloan Tate. The pair meet for the first time when Kellen who just got out of prison gave Sloan and pulled her car to her grandmother house who had passed away. Both of them had a troubled past and was looking for a new beginning. The chemistry between Kellen and Sloan was spontaneous! The passion is hot and steamy at first sight! Will Sloan and Kellen get their happy ever after? You will have to read Moonlight Moments by Emily Bowie to find out!
Moonlight Moments by Emily Bowie had me on the edge of my seat! I had to continue to read to find out what was going to between Sloan and Kellen. Emily Bowie keeps the reader engaged throughout the whole book. Make sure you read Moonlight Moments by Emily Bowie! You won’t be disappointed!
Moonlight Moments by Emily Bowie is book Two in the Steele Family Series. This is the story of Sloan Tate and Kellen Steele. I have read the previous book but felt you could make this a standalone book if you wish to do so.
Kellen is the Three Rivers bad boy who is fresh out of jail after being their for about 5 years. Kellen happens to meet Sloan when her car breaks downs. Sloan is headed to Three Rivers to settler her grandmother’s estate and then move on as quickly as she can. Sloan is on the run from her past where she is being stalked. Sloan knows to stay in one place log isn’t the smart thing to do. But Kellen has his eye on her and she just might not get to moving on so fast.
Enjoyed their story.
So this wasn’t a bad book, but I didn’t love it. Kellan Steele has just gotten out of jail for a crime he didn’t commit. He meets Sloan broken down on the side of the road and stops to help. They clash at first and then eventually fall in love. All the while, Kellan has a secret and Sloan’s ex is after her.
There is a lot going on in this book. It is definitely action packed. I liked Sloan. She is strong and fiery and can take care of herself. Kellan is fine. The supporting characters don’t get much development at all, other than Sloan’s cousin/Kellan’s boss-slash-friend Kip. One thing that really bugs me about this book, though, is Kellan’s big idea at the end. It’s a great idea, but earlier in the book Sloan’s narrative mentions how little education they both have. Kellan got a degree while in prison, but we have to assume that degree relates to his secret job. Sloan has a vet assistant certificate but hasn’t worked in that field. So how on earth are they qualified to run the kind of center they decide to open? We can tell ourselves they hired professionals, but the epilogue leads us to believe they are the ones doing it. *scratches head* Huh??
Really, this isn’t a bad book. I just couldn’t connect with the characters.
When I read Emily Bowie’s first book, Stolen Moments, I knew I had found a great new author to follow *cough* stalk *cough*.
Her words make me feel, swoon, smile and leave me feeling warmhearted.
I felt like Kellen’s story would be different – I knew there was more to his story after he took the fall for his sister. I just didn’t realise HOW much!
Kellen: He was sweet, strong, persistent and protective.
Sloan: She was independent, passionate, stubborn and feisty.
Together: They were explosive. Seriously, the heat these two put out could be responsible for global warming!
“Maybe, because Kellen and I are both a little bit broken, we can work in our own f@#ked-up way. He is my moonlight that shines down on me, making me see that there is more than darkness.”
Awww…. reading this quote brings back all the feels of this book.
It was addictive. I didn’t want to adult at all once I had opened this book. It was simply… AMAZING.
I was trapped from the beginning of this book, I just could not put this one down. I was intrigued from beginning to end. This author has a truly unique gift with the way she writes and is able to pull you in and not let you go. Without giving too much away, I will tell you that Sloan and Kellan were definitely a perfect pair. But will the trust issues cause more trouble than it’s worth to fall in love? With all the secrets and twist and turns you will want to pick this one up and not put it down. I can’t wait for the next book.
Moonlight Moments is book 2 in the Steele family series, and I must say, I’m blown away again!
Stolen Moments – book 1 – tells you all about how Kellen landed in jail, and why he’s like he is now, so I’d suggest you read this book before.
This book starts with Kellen getting out of jail after 5 years. On his way home, he meets Sloan, who is stranded on the street because of car trouble.
The chemistry is there instantly.
Sloan is on her way to Three Rivers to close out her Grandma’s estate. She’s constantly on the run, not staying long in one place, because she doesn’t want to be found. But her past is catching up to her.
People in this city are a little cautious about Kellen, some more some less, and it’s not always easy for him. It seems like he’s going back to be the rebellious teenager he was years ago. Meeting up with the same crowd as he has before. Has he not learned from his past mistakes?
Like in book 1, Emily Bowie got me hooked from the first to the last page! I took my kindle with me every where we went, so I could read a few pages every now and then. I had such a hard time putting it down!
She has a way with words, absolutely amazing. All the feelings, so perfectly described, I always feel like I’m part of the book. The little things, secrets, they get you hooked, they make this book so interesting, you don’t want to stop reading. I can’t tell you more about the story, because I’d give away too much of it, and no spoilers here! Lol. But if you like small town family romances, go for this series. I am totally in love, and can’t wait for Brax’s story….
Moonlight Moments by Emily Bowie a five-star read that will light up your night. This is the second novel in the Steele Family series and this one follows on five-years after the first novel Stolen Moments, but they can be read as stand-alone. Kellen is a dark brooding soul and has a reputation that means everyone in the small town of Three Rivers would tell you to avoid him. But this amazingly written story takes us deeper and shows us his darker underbelly and the light that truly shines through when you see his true nature. Sloan is somehow coming from the same place as Kellan in that she isn’t showing us her true self as she can’t be true to herself until she is able to be free of the shadows that follow her. The stories of the people and the lives they lead will make you want to visit Three Rivers, pop along for a drink and you may never want to leave. Now I just have to eagerly await Brax’s story, will he get a happy ending?
