After receiving this in recent book mail I immediately downloaded the first book on Kindle Unlimited, I loved it and did as one usually does, immediately went into this one. I am now officially obsessed with this series.

Raven and Otto gave everything they were supposed to give. The spice and the pinning were everything. Everybody say โThank you Charleigh & Riverโ for the little incident that caused Ravenโs immediate move to Ottoโs place. Lol.
Raven is such a badass, I love her confidence and her personality. She went through a lot and Iโm glad she found the happiness she deserved. I love that Otto calls her โMoonflowerโ I think it's just the cutest name (I am still a big fan of โLittle Runnerโ)!

River found out about his sister & his best friend exactly how I expected him to find out but when I tell you that his reaction had me ready to fight him, I really mean it. I get why he was pissed at Otto BUT who would be better than someone he knows would protect her with his life? He also needs to remember that heโs dating his sisterโs best friend so he should be the last one talking. Iโm glad he came around quickly though, not that he had much of a choice (his sister was kidnapped).
I loved the flashback chapters that gave us a glimpse into their shared past and shed light on what happened to Haddie among other things. The ending left me like ๐ค๐ฒ... I cannot wait until Kaneโs book because I need answers. In case it wasnโt already obvious, I recommend the series.

Complicated
This was an intense and incredibly emotional story.
Otto & Raven have both suffered through the same trรกgedy but from different perspectives, they both have great & pain from their loss.
Otto has always been there for Raven, keeping her Sage, and bringing her peace.
The absolute love & chemistry between these two is intense & beautiful.
This age gap, brothers best friend, forced proximity, romance was so intense & beautiful. I love the relationship between them, how Otto tried so hard to resist, but couldnโt. He was head over heels for her, protecting her, giving her peace & loving her fully.

Here with him, I wanted to stand in the sun."
First Impressions
Under An Endless Moon was such a wonderful read and while I didn't love it quite as strongly as the first book, it was such a deeply impactful romance that really worked for me in so many ways. I just had one issue with the story but other than that it was just about perfection. There is something about this author and how she writes romance that seems to hit all the right spots in just the right way. Now I would highly recommend you do this in audio over physically reading her writing as its more lyrical and the notes will just be impacted differently in audio over physically reading it.
First Line
"This should be easy."
The Main Protagonists
The Hero: Otto
The Heroine:Raven
โLook at you, Raven. Look at who you are. If you could only see the way I see you. You are brave and strong. So goddamn beautiful. A bloom in the middle of the darkest night.โ
Summary
Otto and Raven have known each other since they were young. Otto came into Raven's life when she was needing affection and love and coming from a bad situation. They quickly became best friends and she bonded with his sister and their fated would be intertwined as Raven and Otto always held each other's hearts. But now Raven's brother is married, and she is feeling like a third wheel and Otto offers his home as a haven for her and even though there have been some events building to threaten her life, Otto knows that he will protect her with everything that he has. But their love is forbidden. Otto made a promise to his best friend that he would never cross that line, but Raven is determined to fly and she wants to fly to Otto. But there is a danger on the horizon, that might tear them all apart....
You are the light inside of me, Raven. Only thing that could ever lead me out of the dark. Gonna love you through it all. Under every endless moon. And when dawn finally breaks, I will watch you rise."
What I Loved
So many swoons! And this was the perfect read to dig deep and so deeply romantic and just perfect to start the day of all day of romance days. I had such a blast with this book and couldn't seem to get enough of what was portrayed in this story. I absolutely loved everything about this book or just about. lol The romance was spectacular. I loved their story and I have to say this might be one of my favorite books for this forbidden sibling best friend trope. Their relationship was so deeply entrenched and you can just feel their love together and how much that they work for each other. I wanted to so easily be so swept away by their connection. The flashbacks really worked for me. They don't always work for me, but the way they were handled, it seemed to work for me a bit. There are so many reveals so I enjoyed how layered each flashback seem to reveal something a bit more with their connection and events of the past. And there were some great laugh moments here and there. And the reveal of the true villains in the end ----MY MIND IS BLOWN ....just one of them especially you just don't expect to see coming at all. The author definitely delivered in just about every way.
There was no forgetting Raven Tayte because no matter how painful it was, this woman was carved on my heart and written in my soul.
What I Struggled With
The ending. lol Everything was perfect until the third act and how it was all resolved. The danger plot was well done. But the conflict that rises, it just felt way too rushed. I know she was in a dangerous situation but this is the reason this book isn't a 6 star read. It would have been if the ending had been a bit better written. It just was resolved too quickly and it felt like she was in danger, they rescue her and all issues just vanish lol I wanted to get something more satisfying to be resolved. You know some actually talking about it might have been a cool thing to do haha
Narration
GORGEOUS!!! The narrators that this author chooses always seem to be true perfection!
Overall View
Under An Endless Moon was a brilliant installment that dug deep into the edge....into the sensuality and into the warm embrace of love that is bound to make your whole body curl with delight and swoons!
I wanted to fly. I wanted to rise. And I knew, all the way down to the deepest parts of me, that I wanted to rise with him.

Steam/Spice Explanations
Simmering cup of tea---soft warm touches and light intimacy
Warmin' by the fire- a medium level of sexual tension, a balance of sexual and emotional intimacy, lighter on the details in the sexual moments.
Steamin' up the room -the sexual content is more explicit in the language and tone, heavier amount of sexual scenes.
Blazing fire to the building-The prime focus is the sex scenes, scorching hot, and could burn one. Less focus on the emotional intimacy to the relationship.

Oh. My. Heart. This book has everything I love from Amy! No one writes found family like she does. Otto and Raven are forbidden to be together but their love is just so fierce and their connection soul deep. Their story is filled with tension, suspense, tragic backstories, heat, and so much heart.
Otto has always been Raven's safe place and seeing how their relationship started and progressed was amazing. These two could not be more perfect together. The way they protect one another was everything! Otto is as loyal as they come. He's a fierce protector and friend. He hides his demons with an easy smile and a joke but Raven can see through to his heart. She is so strong and beautiful and sweet. With everything she's gone through she could have easily let it keep her down, but she does the opposite and lives happily. I love them both so much!
The steam in this was fire! Goodness these two were made for each other. And I always love how Amy weaves their backstories together. I love the Sovereign Sactum brothers too and can't wait for more of their stories.

๐ Otto and Raven, burly bear and little moonflowerโฆ oh how I loved them! They each have tough pasts to contend with. Even though they have been in love with each other for years, they both have to overcome some things, and get out of their own way to be together. And thereโs the whole brother thingโฆ pesky River lol. Watching Raven really come into her own fully and wrap Otto around her pinky finger was so much fun! He never really stood a chance. He was so devoted to her in such a sweet, but also passionate way. The suspense aspect and past and present timeline kept things interesting! Iโm really enjoying this series, and I already canโt wait for the next one, that ending!!
๐ง Desiree was ๐ฏ the perfect choice for Raven! She captured Ravenโs strong, confident personality, while also showing her vulnerability and trauma. Connor sounded amazing as Otto, that voice can really do no wrong in my book! Desiree and Connor also sound really great together, Iโm a big fan of this pairing. You will not be disappointed if you give this a listen.

His best friendโs little sister.
Oh my!! Otto and Raven were perfection!
I was drawn in from the very beginning and held captive until the end.
Raven Tayte, the one heโs known since she was 9 and watched after like his own. Yet, Otto Hudson knows he can never cross that line but every day gets a little more difficult. Especially when Raven moves in with Otto (for a few reasons). She decides to see just how far she can push him-and oh boy does it ever pay off. They have such a playful connection. Plus the small gestures, tender moments, witty banter, palpable tension, explosive chemistry. Below the surface so much more exists. Their story is a deep one. Loss. Haunting memories. Scars. Guilt. But the way they heal one another!! Makes me emotional. And let me tell you, nobody says I love you like Otto. That man and his words just became the new bar.
