At the Edge of Surrender by A.L. Jackson is now live! A surprise single dad, small town romantic suspense… I’m the last guy on the planet who should be a dad. My life is chaos. My sins written dark and deep. So, imagine my surprise when my doorbell rings and I open it to find the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen standing on the other side. And she’s holding the hand of a little girl who looks just like me. Emery tells me her sister, the child’s mother, is dead. I feel like dirt since she’s a woman I can hardly remember, and it’s no wonder Emery doesn’t trust that I’m worthy of caring for her niece. But I can’t turn my back, and I insist on raising Maci. So, we strike a deal—she’ll stay with me for one month to ensure the little girl is safe. Emery tries to hate me for who I am, but neither of us can resist the attraction that blazes between us. One brush of her hand, and she has me on my knees. One kiss, and I’m falling fast. Soon, we find ourselves tangled in my sheets. But when it’s discovered her sister’s death wasn’t accidental, the secret life I’ve been living collides with the past Emery has tried to keep hidden. And when the fiends come back to finish the job they started, I’m in a race against time to save the two people who I’ve come to love most… Download today or read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited Amazon: https://geni.us/ATEOSAmznOP Also available in audio!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
At the Edge of Surrender is a great addition to the Moonlit Ridge series! From the very first meeting between Emery and Kane in his club, to him finding out her niece is his daughter, to how the most horrific part of her past aligned with Kane’s reasons for doing the good-but-illegal things that he does, I loved every bit of this story.
Kane started out as this gruff and rough character, but he just absolutely melted into a pile of goo when Maci and Emery entered his life. Emery had lost so, so much, and Kane was the last person she ever expected to become the safe space that her soul craved. These characters brought out so much in one another. Once Kane realized he’d fallen for Emery, he was ALL IN. She and Maci became his reason for getting up every morning…. but Kane feared what would happen when she learned *everything* about his past.
I read this book and listened to the audio in tandem, and Jason Clarke and Erin Mallon nailed these characters. They both brought such vulnerability to Kane and Emery, and Clarke really captured those dark, dark places that Kane goes to in this book.
The Moonlit Ridge series are all standalone books with interconnected characters, but I would recommend reading the other two books first in order to get the full backstory and feeling of Kane’s band of brothers and the family they’ve created for themselves. This series is also a spinoff of the Redemption Hills series, and I loved how At the Edge of Surrender tied into the motorcycle club, Iron Owls, from that series.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
