"Southern Moon is the second book in the series, continuing a storyline begun in One Hot Summer Night. I did not read One Hot Summer Night but it wasn’t necessary to have read that one in order to understand the plot, characters and action in Southern Moon. It would have been nice to have had the background on the characters but I was still able to follow along in this second story without any trouble.
Southern Moon is the story of Mason Aldrich and Rain Jessup. A secret is revealed early in the book and that is really the crux of the conflict that drives this plot. As the past unfolds, intermingling with the actions of the present, the reader gets a bird’s-eye look into the relationship between Mason and Rain. This isn’t a romance that is only flowers and birdsong. There are tough moments, hard, heart-wrenching moments that brought me to tears. Despite the tearful moments, this story was rich and satisfying on many levels.
I totally enjoyed reading Southern Moon, mostly because of the candid, realistic relationships between her characters. There are remaining characters in these two families and it is my sincere hope that Ms. Asbury will consider carrying this series forward. Well done!"

"Ms. Asbury did very well. This story was well written. I liked the camaraderie among the families involved and absolutely loved the description of Charlie's wedding gown. This is a story that I can recommend to others, without feeling that they will be upset by language used. It portrays sexuality tastefully, more imagery than explicit in my book."

"This story is wonderfully written and it would be hard not to fall in love with the characters. SOUTHERN MOON introduces the more private side of Mason Aldrich and Rain Jessup the same way ONE HOT SUMMER took you into Charlie Aldrich and Beau Jessup's relationship. They let you into their past and share their joys, heartaches, passions and inner demons. This book is hard to put down as the stories slowly unravel and take heart wrenching turns. This reviewer just hopes Ms. Asbury follows this with the stories of the remaining Jessup men and Aldrich women."
