Thanks, #partners AL Jackson and Valentine PR for this ALC. 

Otto Hudson is as loyal as it gets. That means he will do anything to protect those he loves. ANYTHING. So, when Raven Tayte, hist best friend’s little sister needs a place to stay, he immediately steps up and tells her she can stay with him at his place. Actually, that is dangerous – for him – because Otto has been fighting all these feelings he has towards Raven for the past seven years. They’ve always been close, but when he came out of prison and found her all grown up, she is the star of all his thoughts. 

Raven has loved Otto since she didn’t know what that meant. He’s been her rock, her protector and the only person she’s ever ever truly felt safe with. Now, living under the safe roof, she will make him see her in a different way. 

Otto’s past is dark, his soul is tormented. Raven is a survivor from unspeakable things. Both carry secrets that just be too much to keep, especially when these secrets are coming for them… 

Oh my, Amy! I was wrapped into this emotional and suspenseful story from beginning to end, “Moonflower” and “Burly Bear” are so meant for each other that you root for them from the start.

Book 2 in the Moonlit Ridge series, it can be read as a standalone but you do catch up with beloved characters, even from Redemption Hills. 

The narration is done dual style with Desirée Ketchum and Connor Crais flexing all their acting muscles. Raven is vulnerable but fun and determined and passionate and we see it all in Desirée’s performance. Oh, give Connor a badass, morally gray, tough as nails obsessed hero and he’ll make you fall for him hook, line and sinker. Phenomenal performances!

I loved going back to this small town, visiting with these characters. Yes, they do some pretty dark things, but you can’t blame them. A wonderful age gap, brother’s best friend, “touch her and die” (literally), “it’s always been you”, found family tale that will have you swooning.
