Memories Kindle Edition
Dearne regains consciousness but has no memories of how he came to be in the bed of a dark-haired, angry, but gorgeous man or how he came to be so badly injured.
When nightmares drive Dearne into Will’s arms every night, the attraction between them explodes. As Dearne battles with lost memories, he is forced to accept the fact that someone in his family wants him dead, and Will is forced to confront his past head on. Will the revelations uncovered manage to tear them apart?

About the author

My name is Ruby Moone and I love books. All kinds of books. My weakness is for romance, and that can be any kind, but I am particularly fond of historical and paranormal. I decided to write gay romance after reading some fantastic books and falling in love with the genre, so am really thrilled to have my work published here. The day job takes up a lot of my time, but every other spare moment finds me writing or reading. I live in the north west of England with my husband who thinks that I live in two worlds. The real world and in the world in my head...he probably has a point!

- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2018Will Marsden and Captain Dearne are among the handful of star-crossed Regency lovers that seem real. Will has memories to hide and Dearne (aka Maxim) has seemingly lost his most important memories, i.e., how did he wind up beaten and dumped into Will's frightened but sympathetic hands?
You can read the blurb and get the drift, but what's not said is that the slow-moving romance that buds up between these two goes into overdrive and then crashes because of the mysteries surrounding how Dearne has been robbed of his rightful inheritance after being mistakenly declared dead at the Battle of Waterloo.
All sorts of other characters come trundling into the narrative and the book takes off on a wild, duplicitous, and sometimes hilarious, ride. The characters include Dearne's sister Araminta (Minty) and her companion Rose; his brother Holbrook and his nasty wife Catherine; and their son Augustus (Gussie). In addition, another (no spoiler) character from Will's key frightful memory busts out of the past and helps precipitate a chain of events that leads the whole group into an hysterically sweet HEA.
I would love to see Ms. Moone give us a book following Gussie's new pursuit, but for now she has delivered an extraordinary punch of sweetness, light, darkness and love--with an abundance of salacious scenes to savor.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2023Format: KindleI love, love, loved these characters and their beautiful love for eachother. Will and Dearne both have trauma in their pasts, and find the perfect healing balm in eachother. Their struggles threaten to tear them apart, as well as the need to keep their feelings secret. I loved their love.
I am deducting a star for the need of an editor. There were many small grammatical errors throughout (mostly missing or incorrect words, his instead of this, things like that). An overuse of 'he' that could get confusing with two MMCs. A few times it was also an issue of plot inconsistencies, possibly from revisions of earlier versions, where a brother/sister were referred to as nephew/aunt, or the information each character had changed. There was also a side character thread that was left open ended.
That being said (vaguely, I know, but spoilers), I still recommend reading this book. The emotional depth is truly lovely. I will definitely be reading more from Ms. Moone, and only hope she has found a new editor.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2018The time seemed like the present, but the gift was from the past. When people daren’t speak of things that have now come to pass. Ruby’s characters share the angst of another time, when love didn’t speak its name. They are each perfectly cast and their story steals your heart.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2017I’ve said plenty of times before that I’m hesitant when it comes to M/M historical romance because of the horrible repercussions placed on same sex encounters—let alone anyone bold enough to be a couple—in anything before modern day. But after reading this author’s book Trapped, I decided any M/M historical romance she wrote, I’d be very willing to read. I’m happy to report that Memories left me happy in the end!
There’s plenty of intrigue and a bit of suspense in this story from the mystery of who is trying to get rid of Dearne, to how his manor home was lost, to what happened to his memories, to who Will really is…and if you think you know who’s behind things, well—think again. I changed my mind a few times as I read, and I honestly couldn’t be sure until just before the reveal near the end.
As for the romance? I really liked that things developed slowly, mostly due to Will’s hesitancy (which goes back to the ‘who Will really is’ question and things that happened in his past). Nothing is rushed, even when at times Dearne would try to push Will a bit out of his comfort zone. They are actually really good together, and I thought how Will was with Dearne when he would have nightmares was sweet.
I loved the supporting characters, particularly Dearne’s sister Araminta and her companion—especially later in the story with the support they showed for both him and Will. All of the supporting characters added depth to the story, and everyone’s actions contributed to the uncertainty I had in figuring out who was trying to get rid of Dearne.
Overall, I truly enjoyed Memories and am giving it 4.5 stars. For this genre, the author does a really great job at giving readers the angst of same sex relationships for the time period without sacrificing a happy ending. This story is meant for readers 18+ for adult language and sexual content.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another lovely story from Ruby...
3.5 stars rounded up. Enjoyed this Regency romance from Ruby Moone, although it did have quite a few typos and wrong words.
This is my second story from her, and I like the way she writes; she doesn't go into great detail in the sex scenes, it's left to your imagination and is mostly fade to black anyhoo. The mystery was fairly obvious but I really liked the two MC's Maximilian and Will [who was hiding a secret himself], and Maxim's sister Minty and her 'companion' were great secondary characters.
