This is the second book in the Moonlit Ridge series. Otto is part of the Sovereign Sanctum, a crew dedicated to protecting women and children from domestic violence at any cost. When the leader’s sister needs a place to stay, Otto offers up his house. The problem is Raven is the woman he can never have. She is light and beauty, while he is darkness. Soon, they can’t fight their feelings for each other, but Otto feels he can’t betray her brother. What can they do when they must choose between their family and each other? 

This book drew me in and hooked me right from the start. Raven has been through so much and has come out stronger than ever. She still struggles with some things, though, because trusting is hard for her. I connected with Otto. He was such a caring person who wanted nothing more than to help the people he loved. 

Otto and Raven had chemistry right from the start, and you could see how drawn they were to each other. They shared this bond that could not be broken, and Otto was fiercely protective of Raven. I loved how they confided in each other and shared vulnerable moments. Even though things were pulling them apart, they were so right for each other; it was inevitable. 

As with many of A.L. Jackson’s, she writes a found family that you love and connect with in some way. This band of brothers and the people they have with them is so well crafted that you will fall in love with them. 

This was a suspenseful romance with sweet love. I cannot wait for more books in this series, as the ending has a great reveal. Thank you to the author and Valentine PR for a copy of this book. All opinions are 100% mine.
