Wow, what a beautiful book. I’m new to Jackson’s writing, but I recently read From Here to Eternity so I would be up to speed when I read this book (FHTE isn’t a cliffhanger but it’s an interconnected standalone, and the first in the series) and I’m blown away by her skills. I love the way she writes.
As for the story itself….SWOON. Raven and Otto are just perfect- I loved their “will they, won’t they”, emotional confessions and stolen touches, and ugh it was just great. The suspense really kept me on the edge of my seat to the very very end.
That said, even though I really enjoyed the story it was a little long and even though I was biting my nails in anticipation, I wish we’d have gotten there a little sooner.

Devoured in a night! I knew I was going to love Otto & Raven but didn’t know how much. AL Jackson you really did me in with these two!
This is the brother's best friend trope, where Otto & Raven have known each other since she was 9 & he was 18. They have been through so much together & without any spoilers, as they have grown together (and after a brief time apart), Otto started to see Raven for the woman she's become but never acted on it. They've danced around each other until finally they are forced to face their feelings.
This is such a captivating, angsty, deliciously sexy forbidden romance with a history between our two MCs that just gripped me. There are flashbacks to their shared past & the depths of their bond are filled with so many emotions. The love these two have for one another is one that started almost a decade ago. There is this push & pull between them and then the added bonus of an imminent threat against Raven that has everyone guessing who could it be. This is romantic suspense at its finest.
If you love your men tattooed & morally grey, Otto is it for you. He might be rough on the outside but the moments with Raven show that he is a big cinnamon roll for her. And Raven is such a strong, fierce woman who has been through some trauma. Despite her past, she tries to bring sunshine into her life whenever she can. And the found family aspect is once again so strong. We get to see more of the Sovereign Sanctum crew & I continue to be more curious about each of them with every book. I can't wait for all of their stories.
The plot takes some amazing twists & turns and if you love spice, these two are explosive (the F it moment is the best). I absolutely love this series so much and can't wait for Kane's story next!

We all felt the chemistry between Otto and Raven in book one of this series. Since Otto is the best friend of Raven's brother and he's older than her, they both recognize that a relationship between them is forbidden territory. But they can really only lie to themselves for so long before they can no longer fight their feelings for each other.
After Raven walks in on a scene she never wanted to see involving her brother, she realizes it's time to find a place of her own. In the meantime Otto offers her refuge at his place, even if there's only one bedroom and this burly bear of a man is way to big for sleeping on the sofa.
Otto is tracking down his enemies in secret, keeping his revenge and justice from his band of brothers. But while he's stalking his prey, Raven finds herself in someone else's dangerous sights. Otto will do anything and everything to protect her. Even if that means he might have to go against her brother to finally claim her.
All the built-up tension, forced proximity, forbidden romance elements, fun banter, fierce protectiveness, and amazing chemistry makes for a great journey for these two. I loved them together so much. The history of their tragic pasts and everything they've been through together just adds to the strength of their bond. I can't wait for what's next in this world.

Another awesome book to add to the Moonlit Ridge Series! I was looking forward to Raven & Otto's story & it was even better than I imagined. Let me just tell you.. I LOVE Raven. She's such a strong, kind, wonderful, fierce woman. And then when you put her with Otto, it's even better. These two are absolutely perfect for each other. They've known each other since Raven was just a child so there is a lot of history there. I love the flashbacks to their shared past. It helps you understand their relationship. The tension and angst is top tier! Otto is a rough, tattooed, morally grey man, but when it comes to Raven, he is a cinnamon roll. He'd do anything for her but she'd also do anything for him. The found family of this series is absolutely everything. The suspense just elevated this book and I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen!

I have been dying for Otto and Raven's story, and it did not disappoint! Amy, you once again nailed it! Hooked from the start!! The number of highlights I have from this book is insane! LOVED IT!
Otto and Raven have a complicated history. Otto being Ravens brothers best friend, she is definitely off limits. They have this undeniable connection that they have ignored for years, but when danger comes for Raven, the only place for her to stay is with Otto. He hears her struggling at night when her demons come back to haunt her. Otto has been and always will be her safe place.
You could feel the tension oozing from the pages with these two!! The chemistry was so freaking good! Otto Hudson. This man completely surprised me in the best way. He is this "Burly Bear" of a man with a body of tattoos, but the way he took care of Raven had me in a freaking puddle. And Raven! One of my top favorite FMC's ever. The way she wanted to take back her life was so beautiful. These two would burn the world down for each other, and Amy did an incredible job of portraying that. I could feel the love that Otto and Raven had for each other. The suspense and twists had me on the edge of my seat, and I couldn't put this book down! OBSESSED!
AUDIO: Narrated by Connor Crais and Desiree Ketchum. AMAZING! These two brought tension and longing and emotions to life! They sounded so well together! This was a phenomenal audio!

If you're looking for an emotional yet suspenseful read, look no further, Under an Endless Moon has got you covered.
Raven and Otto's story captivated me instantly. Their connection, chemistry, and devotion made them a force to reckoned with. The passion and emotion dozed off the pages and left me hungry for more. Raven and Otto's journey had its fair share of obstacles and ups and downs to overcome, but you can't help but root for them to find their happily ever.
Under an Endless Moon is a terrific read from beginning to end. Raven and Otto's story is well written, entertaining, and all consuming. You'll be kept on your toes and left with a smile on your face. Under an Endless Moon is a great addition to the Moonlit Ridge series, and I look forward to getting my hands on the next book in this series.

Ugh another top tier book couple from ALJ. Otto and Raven were seriously perfection. Otto, the possessive and protective man. Raven, a strong and feisty woman. Perfection together.
They had both been through so dang much together. I adored them so so much.

This was my first A.L Jackson book. It had me hooked from the beginning. Definitely an emotional story. The story flashes back to past events that shed light on the present situations. Otto and Raven are meant for each other but they go through so much heart break and tragedy before they can even consider coming together. Their story is packed with action and intense situations. Tropes/themes in this book include brother's best friend, tatted mmc and fmc, mc rider, age gap, found family, "it's always been you," virgin heroine, suspense, morally gray hero, forbidden, band of brothers, small town, secret society and roommates to lovers. I listened to this book and I loved the narrators. Connor Crais and Desiree Ketchum did an excellent job!

Under an Endless Moon was such a beautifully emotional story with a little dose of suspense. This second book in the Moonlit Ridge Series was about Raven Tayte and Otto Hudson. The romance between these two was so gorgeous, full of anticipation and passion. Their feelings for each other were tangible in every interaction, but the somewhat forbidden aspect of them with Otto being Raven's older brother's best friend made their admission difficult.
I was a fan of Raven's personality. That woman has fire and likes to tease. This lightness in her attitude hides torments of her past though. Only Otto truly knows how deep her scars runs and haunts her. He's her true protector, always there to help her fight her demons. It was amazing to witness the way he was so far gone for his "moonflower". Their friendship was stunning, but their romantic relationship was pure fire and devotion! I adored these two!
The romance was the center of this book and I'll admit I felt that the intrigue was very slow to start. Nevertheless, once the action happened in the last few chapters, I was really surprised by some of the revelations.
This novel was good and the whole cast was the perfect example of found family! I was glad to see more of River, Charleigh and Nolan, but also the guys of Sovereign Sanctum. I'm definitely excited for what's next in this series!

“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.”
I knew I was going to absolutely LOVE Raven & Otto after meeting them in the first book, but wow did this book really exceed all my expectations. The way they both have been so close over all these years and how they share so many sweet moments together had me absolutely swooning. Otto has always been there for Raven after the trauma they both have experienced. He's her safe space and he truly shows her that in every action and thought he has towards her. And when they finally give in to the tension between them...buckle up and grab a fan because it is HOT
That twist at the end! Like I knew something would happen, but I was not expecting it to play out the way it did. Raven is so freaking strong and such a ray of sunshine despite her past grief and trauma. She truly is the bestie that everyone needs in their life.
Audiobook: The audio for this book is dual narration performed by Desiree Ketchum and Connor Crais. They brought these characters and the story to life and I did not want to stop listening! They really did an amazing job narrating this book and I loved every minute of it!
