Reggie Moore can't believe he gets the chance to finally meet his online friend and fellow gamer, Leilah. Yet she seems happy with the distance between them. When a job promotion comes with an opportunity to close the distance, Reggie takes it as a yes from God.

And the Shiloh spree continued! Even her shorter books somehow seem super fleshed out compared to a lot of others I've read. I just love how relatable she makes her characters.
I wasn’t sure if I’d like this story or not. I picked it up randomly and decided to give it a try knowing that I’ve liked some books by this author and not others. I did enjoy the story. No, I don’t really like that they are so into gaming (I personally think it’s a complete waste of time, but that’s me), but I did like Leilah and Reggie. They were so real and I loved that while Leilah didn’t really feel comfortable telling him about her being in a wheelchair, that aspect doesn’t drag on and on. And can I mention how refreshing it was to not have all sorts of misunderstandings and the lack of communication and believing the worst? This wasn’t a long story, but it was long enough. While this wasn’t really strong on the Christian aspects, it didn’t ignore them either.
This was such a heartwarming story full of hope and overcoming obstacles.
Leilah's been in a wheelchair for years now and has stayed isolated in her house, preferring to hide her disability and do everything online. She's able to teach online, attend a virtual church, and is an avid gamer. When an opportunity comes up for her to meet one of her online gamer friends in person, she's worried about how he'll react to her disability. Will he only see the chair and pity her, or will he look past it and see the amazing person that she is?
I immediately liked Leilah. She was genuine, kind, and a great friend. I loved watching her let her guard down and try new things. She's an inspiration, for sure. Reggie was such a nice guy, so sincere and sweet. They had such great chemistry, and I loved their playful banter. I really enjoyed getting to know them.
This story was so touching. I appreciate the way this author had her main character dealing with a pretty tough issue. Then how she was able to rise above the struggles and find true love. This will give hope to all who are struggling with self-worth. It’s also about strong friendships and support from others. I enjoyed reading this during the holiday time because weddings at Christmas bring a special feeling. Another thing I loved was that each of the friends passed down a tiara to wear which had special meaning. Toni Shiloh is an author who brings out the sweetest stories and has you believing each of these characters is real. Her stories flow with great dialog and wonderful word pictures of places, people, and relationships. I laughed, I cried, (well, not from anything too sad, but from laughing) I truly loved every moment I was reading this book and hope you will too. I highly recommend you pick it up and read it. I highly recommend you pick this book up to read. It touched my heart and I hope it does yours. I was given this book by the author which did not influence my review in any way, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Something Borrowed is a delightful holiday series with a common thread. Six friends, five weddings, one tiara. This avid reader enjoyed reading All the Moore by Toni Shiloh, because my husband, sons, and grandsons love gaming. So there was a special draw to the main characters and especially Leilah a gamer with a disability. I also enjoyed how the characters in the series shared a tiara, which reminded me of sharing my wedding headpiece and veil with my sister in law. Weddings and holidays make for a perfect combination.
In All the Moore, Leilah has been wheelchair-bound for several years. She was very self-conscious about it and mostly isolated herself – even attended church online. As a gamer, she met a friend, Reggie, with the online name AllTheMoore. When given the opportunity to meet Reggie in person, she was terrified that he would reject her because of her wheels. Not only did I love Reggie and his relentless, loving pursuit of Leilah, I really enjoyed learning about the things Leilah was required to do in order to live with her partial paralysis.
All the Moore first appeared in the Something Borrowed collection. It focuses on the relationship between Leilah and Reggie.
I love this couple. After becoming friends online, Reggie was ready to take the relationship to the next level but Leilah had friend-zoned him because of fear.
It was great to see Reggie pursue Leilah with persistence, faith, and humor. The romance unfolded sweetly and the reader is left with the impression that though Leilah has had some difficult things happen to her, she's not beyond the scope of being blessed by God.
The characters faith made this novella an inspirational read. Readers will reminded that God walks with them through difficult seasons and gives them the grace to persevere.
Short and sweet! A quick but beautiful read. Like many others, I loved that the main character had challenges that were not miraculously healed for the happy ending. This is a real-life, heartwarming story about God’s plan for all of us who love Him. I wanted “moore” when I got to the end. ☺️ Thank you Toni for another beautiful story.
This book was an amazing read I really enjoyed the journey of Reggie and Leilah's Love. The concept of her being a handicap was a good storyline her character needed encouragement. Love your books and your writing skills are impressive. God Bless you 🙌🏾
I loved this book! This was my first book by this author and I'm excited to read more. It was also my first book with a character with physical challenges and I thought it was really well done. I loved how they met virtually and Reggie was smitten with Leilah AND was a stand up guy. It was so romantic to watch Reggie learn about Leilah's condition and essentially figure out ways to court her.
I highly recommend it to fans of inspirational contemporary fiction!
In All the Moore, the main character is in a wheelchair and stays mostly isolated. She watches church online and teaches online. When she meets Reggie, a fellow online gamer, in person he doesn't judge her for being in a wheelchair but continues to be her friend. This is a touching story that offers hope and encouragement to those who are self conscious and to rise above their struggles.
This was the sweetest love story I have ever read. Reggie was such the gentleman and treated Leilah so good. I was thankful for him and his kindness towards her. I enjoyed reading this book.
Attached to the Holy Spirit and allowing God to do “what He does best”. This was such a heart warming story, very aptly and thoroughly researched and put to pen and paper. Everything in life isn’t peaches and cream, having a disability is real and Toni Shiloh brought it 🙏🏾☺️🙌🏾 Kudos!!
Lovely story about two individuals who never met before as they were gamers in an online community. Shiloh weaves a beautiful story about love and overcoming obstacles.
ALL THE MOORE (SOMETHING BORROWED BOOK 2) by Toni Shiloh
I adored this book! The characters were delightful. Reggie was my favorite character because he was hopelessly romantic and inventive. The story was captivating. I will heartily recommend it to my friends. I look forward to reading more books by this author because I enjoy her writing style.
Thanks Mrs. Shiloh, for your books and for the varies prayers throughout your books. It has helped me when I either doubted if God cared or heard me in my time of despair.
This was a sweet romance with low drama and mature characters. I loved that it was truly a Christian romance in that the characters modeled keeping their faith at the forefront of their decisions. I'll definitely be reading more of this author!
Toni Shiloh is fast becoming one of my favorite authors of contemporary romance, and this novella has made me love her all the more! 😉
In this story, Shiloh has deftly combined the twinkle-light charm of a Hallmark Christmas movie with a powerfully authentic faith journey. Many times, I found myself highlighting and re-reading passages filled with truth that prompted me to turn my thoughts towards God and linger with Him.
The friends-to-more romance between Reggie, a hopeless romantic video game designer, and Leilah, a guarded teacher living with disability, was a joy to read! Heart-warming and utterly romantic.
If you're looking for a sweet romance with strong spiritual themes, "All the Moore" is sure to be your cup of tea!
Meeting through gaming was a unique spin on the love story. Leilah and Reggie overcame so many obstacles through their guidance from God. We limit ourselves by not trusting in God’s plan. Toni Shiloh writes dynamic spirit inspired stories.
This book was awesome. I had to read it as soon as possible after reading the first book. Toni Shiloh, you did this! I highly recommend this book. Love the storyline and mainly the characters. Awesome job.
Such a wonderful, heartwarming romance. The heroine is in a wheelchair so her hero researches how to do romantic things like ice skate and dance with someone in a wheelchair. When he takes her hands and leads her to the dance floor at a wedding, it was soooo romantic.
I have enjoyed every book that I’ve read by this author. In this novel we dealt with finding love while battling a physical disability. Professor Hot Wheels does everything possible to do via the Internet. Another gamer that she has played with is “All the More”. Not looking for love, and assuming such was lost to her. But she meets this guy in Colorado and he is smitten, and her being in a wheelchair is of zero concern for him. An eye opening novel that may serve as helpful if a love one is stricken to a chair-life can still be sweet and enjoyed.
This was a cute novella about two people who met through online gaming.
I liked how Leilah worked through the insecurity of her disability and how Reggie was so supportive of her.
I enjoyed reading about characters who deeply relied on God for strength and direction. I can tell that faith is a big part of the author's life because of how much comes out in her books.
I *loved* the proposal! It's one of the cutest I have ever read! And the ending! But I won't spoil that for you. 😉
