From Here to Eternity was one of those books I picked up and never wanted to put down. It consumed me! The more I learned, the more I had to know. A.L. Jackson kicks off the Moonlit Ridge series with a bang, I hope you love Charleigh and River as much as I did!
I should have known everything was going to change when she walked into my tattoo shop...
Timid as hell and gorgeous to the extreme. I knew better than even thinking about touching a woman like that.
My life is dangerous.
My calling wicked.
Willing to cross any line to protect the innocent.
I thought I’d never see her again until my little boy tumbled and busted his lip, and I found her working at the doctor’s office.
The woman who’d taken possession of my thoughts.
When it becomes clear she’s in trouble, I offer up a deal.
Twenty questions to earn her trust.
Too bad trusting me is the last thing she should do.
With one kiss, I’m addicted. With one night, we’re falling into a passion greater than either of us has ever known.
The voices in my head warn I can never keep her. She can’t know the secret life I lead.
Only she’s keeping a secret, too.
And I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even if it means losing everything…
5 out of 5 stars
From Here to Eternity was an exceptional read and
I loved every single second of it! Right from the start I felt consumed by
the intensity playing out and was pulled in as I got to know Charleigh and
River. I loved the storytelling, the development, and all the incredible
details. I felt captivated the entire time!
I felt so much for these characters. I hurt for Charleigh
and what she'd gone through, the pain she was in, and where she was at in life.
I loved her perseverance to keep moving forward and make a life for herself. River
was fantastic! He was an extreme mix of harshness and goodness all rolled into
one, I loved his hard edges and intensity. When Charleigh and River first
met, there was an instant spark and attraction that I could feel. The
tension and chemistry between them was palpable. I loved the build to learning
about them and what they’d endured. I had a million questions and was filled
with anticipation to know all their secrets. I loved the emotion as their
feelings grew and the sizzling heat between them. There were so many great
elements in play that made it exciting to read.
I loved the found family with River’s crew and his sister
Raven and how deeply they care for one another and have each other's backs. I
loved learning what the men stood for and the good they did. Even though Raven has
had a hard life, she was a breath of fresh air and I loved how she and
Charleigh became friends. I also adored sweet Nolan, River’s son. This kid had
my heart melting and feeling full all at once. He was adorable and I loved how
he was intertwined into the story.
How this was woven together was incredibly well done.
The writing style flowed perfectly from one scene to the next, interspersed
with flashbacks that added more depth. There were so many important details
really building the story, it felt like a tangled web as these two broken and
scarred souls opened up, started to heal, and found their way to the other
side. There is drama along the way, but the build to everything being revealed
was outstanding. This was my first time reading this author and I'm kicking
myself for not reading her sooner. I can't wait for the next book in the series!
