Book Review: Beyond the Blue Horizon by A.L. Jackson

To say I loved Beyond the Blue Horizon is an understatement. This book consumed me. There was such an incredible build as everything unfolded, I loved the intensity and passion and hung on every word. Theo and Piper were amazing!

synopsis_thumb2_thumb
I should have known I’d break the promise I made when I found her stranded in a blizzard…

Feisty as hell and the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.
With the cutest kid and her grandmother in tow, she’s completely off limits.
I don't get involved with women like that.
I learned long ago I don't have the ability to love.
My life is sordid and danger is always hiding in the shadows.

Only I can’t turn my back on them when I realize she’s in trouble, and I insist on them staying in a cabin at the motel I own.
As penance for my sins, I promised my life to protecting others.
Except she becomes so much more.
A need I don’t recognize. A desperation that burns beneath my flesh.
One kiss, and I’m falling for her.
One touch, and I’m at her feet.

But when my dark past comes back to haunt me, I’m in a race against time to save the only woman I’ve ever loved. Only it may be the demons that have been chasing her that destroy what we built…

5 out of 5 stars

Beyond the Blue Horizon was nothing short of brilliant! Learning about Theo and Piper and their secrets had me on the edge of my seat. I loved the well-developed details and build as it all unfolded, and I couldn't wait for these two to get to their happily ever after. This story was intense and drama-filled, with emotion and so much passion. I love a story that makes me feel, and it did just that. It was beyond amazing and completely consumed me!

I loved everything about Piper, she was strong-willed and determined, and my heart hurt for her as I learned about her past. Theo was incredible. He worked hard to make up for past mistakes, but still felt undeserving. I felt for him and couldn't wait to find out about his demons. I loved them meeting and the fire between them. They had great banter with an undercurrent of sexual tension. I loved that pull as they came together. I could feel that tension building and vibrating, it was freaking amazing. I loved them letting their guards down, opening up, and being vulnerable. They both had great growth. I also loved the developing desire between them and how it exploded. This author knows how to write a steamy scene for sure!

I loved the back and forth between present and past, and learning the deep-rooted details that made Theo and Piper who they are. There was a perfect build happening with fantastic hints as threats were learned, I couldn’t wait for it all to collide. The suspense element was mixed in perfectly, and the drama and intensity had me hooked the entire time. I loved their big found family and the bonds they share, and how they brought Piper and her family into the fold. Piper’s son Finn was adorable, and I loved his growing bond with Theo, he made me melt. Her grandma, Nelly, was a spitfire. I loved her sass and attitude and how she laid out her wisdom, it was awesome. I adored the text messages between Theo and the guys and the levity it brought at just the right time.

This book is officially one of my favorites of 2025! I never wanted to put it down. Thanks to the hook at the end with Cash, I am already excited for the next book in the Moonlit Ridge series. I cannot wait! I know it’s going to be a good one. 

Complimentary copy received.
