From Here to Eternity

By: A.L. Jackson

Narrated by: Andi Arndt, Austin Stone

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…

Steamy, emotional and action packed

Oh my gosh, what a fantastic start to this new series! “From Here to Eternity” is a steamy, emotional and action packed romance that hooked me from the beginning.

Charlie’s life from the last five years has not been easy. She’s been hiding from her abusive ex and finally had the courage to get a tattoo that means something to her. And when she walks into a tattoo shop, she’s met with a gruffy man who stirs something inside of her. River is a tattoo artist, spending time with his son, Nolan, and also helping people that need extra help. Charlie was the last person River was expecting but he can’t seem to forget her. And when something from Charlie’s past threatens her, River steps up to protect her.

I’m absolutely in love with Charlie and River. Charlie was someone I connected with right away and I loved her more even as the story went on. Her backstory broke my heart but her finding River is what she needed. And the instant bond she had with his sister, Raven, was the girlhood friendship I needed in this book. River is the ultimate alpha book boyfriend. He’s protective, caring, and will do whatever he needs to do to make sure Charlie is safe. The chemistry is instant from the first meet at the tattoo shop and only grew as the story went on. Nolan was such a cute kid and his happiness was so infectious. This book had a crazy plot twist that I didn’t see coming! It had me gasping as it was revealed. The ending was perfect and I can’t wait for from this series.

Andi Arndt and Andy Stone narrated this audio and they were the perfect choice. Andi was so passionate as Charlie, she brought her caring and vulnerable side alive. Austin is a new to me narrator and I loved his voice so much. His performance was passionate and protective just like River.

Loved every second!

A.L Jackson did not disappoint! I always eagerly await the release of each of her books and this one was one of my favorites. I can’t wait to see what’s next in the series. Andi Arndt was of course amazing and this was my first time hearing the male narrator and I felt he did a good job as well. If you are considering purchasing, don’t wait, it is well worth it!

Amazing audio and story!

Listened 11/5-11/6 and was quite entertained. I’m fairly new to audio and this kept my attention throughout. The narrators did excellent jobs in their roles and side characters.

Not only was the performance entertaining, but the story was incredible! I guess the twist about halfway through but it still blew me away! What a great storyline and setup for this new series!


I love a grumpy motorcycle riding MC, and even more when they’re a single dad. This was such a great set up for the entire series in introducing characters, including River’s sister.

I loved the connection between Charlie and River from their first meeting and the symbolism of the tattoo he gave her.

The connection with Charlie and Nolan was so special and the build up throughout the story and the twist was executed so well! I am looking forward to the rest of the series!

Audible ruined this wonderful book!

This story was absolutely beautiful and exciting, as I’ve come to expect from A.L. Jackson. She’s so incredibly talented in weaving romantic stories that stick with me for years later, many I have read over and over again. However, Audible and Kindle app issues pulled me out of this story leading me to need help. The issues have been occurring for months where books and audio do not sync or download correctly and I’m going to have to start purchasing A.L. Jackson’s books from other vendors if Amazon doesn’t fix these issues. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a romance where a girl down-on-her-luck falls in love with a morally gray, sexy do-gooder. ❤️💕

A.L. Jackson, you're a queen!

Ohhh boy I didn't know what to expect as I went into this book totally blind only knowing what I saw on instagram. This was my first A.L. Jackson read and it did not disappoint. Having been approved for book 2 in this series' arc, I knew I had to get this off my TBR. Im so glad I had a break in arcs and was able to!

The endless amount of secrets between the two main characters knows no bounds, however they still find themselves drawn to one another willing to share parts of themselves. River and his secret societywork to save abused women from their homes helping them to start over with new identities and get out safe. Charleigh has been on the run for 5 years from her abusive husband when she finds herself stumbling into River's tattoo shop.

The chemistry between the two is amazing and the suspense throughout this story was so good.

The narration by Andi Arndt and Austin Stone was on point!!

Must Listen!!

This book is so amazing!!! The first book in the Moonlit Ridge series. I was intrigued from the moment I started listening. I felt like I was in the book!! The narrators were spot on!! I am absolutely in love with this new town and all the new characters! I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book! Thank you, A.L. Jackson!!! 💜💙

Beautiful Story

A.L. Jackson can do no wrong to me. Her work is genius and I love each and every story. This one moved a little slow for me, that is the ONLY reason for 4*'s instead of 5. Worth the credit though, no doubt.

intense

narration of this book is fantastic.

River is an amazing main male character. The author does a great job with flashbacks and growing the characters.

Charlie such an amazing soul as she finds her footing and her walls drop you can't help but feel all of her emotions her pain and happiness.

great side characters!
the little boy has personality oozing through the pages.

great read.

Plot Twist

I absolutely adore this story! Charleigh and River, it was insta lusty/love, but I really loved it and it was a slow burn too! Both characters have an air of mystery about them, but slowly start to let each other in. He knows she’s on the run from something hence her nick name “little runner”. She knows he’s a good guy that may be doing some bad things. Their story has a lot of push and pull and so much tension! Nolan is the freaking cutest kid and I love how he calls River Daddy O! The plot twist I figured out right before it happened and I’m still shook! This story was so much fun! It had a slightly slow start for me, otherwise fantastic read!

Charleigh & River

This is my first book from A.L. Jackson and it was chosen as our buddy read for the month with my bookstagram girls and it did not disappoint. I did not know know what to expect but once I got into the first chapter I was hooked. River the MMC is very likable and Charleigh the FMC is intriguing.

From the beginning of this story we are introduced to Charleigh who happens to walk into a tattoo shop to get a tattoo and gets River's attention immediately. He is drawn to her from the moment he sees her but can not quite put his hand as to why. He keeps thinking it must be her beauty and her distinct vibe that no one know who she is. Charleigh just so happens to befriend Raven, Rivers sister and that is how both characters get to know each other a lot more. River senses that Charleigh is running away from something or someone when she has moments of panic attacks and of running away. River know he needs to help her and be her security while she is facing her demons.

This book may feel like any other romance book until A.L. throws a curve ball and blows your mind with the secret that both Charleigh and River have been carrying for so long. I was not expecting it and let me tell you it will keep you on the edge of your lounge while reading their story. A.L. Jackson...…5 Stars girl...….Hell I would even give you more if I can. The drama, the suspense, the anxiety is gives you. IM SOOOOO READY FOR BOOK 2 NOW.
