Voracious Readers review : This book is for all the romantic people out there that believe the journey matters just as much as the destination. 2 people who love each and knows they love each other.
This space odyssey was a journey I'd gladly do again.
Book is a cross between a romance novel and a medical mystery book. There's quite a lot of action pieces interspersed with the relationship as it builds and grows.
I love the idea of this book as well. It's set in the future, all about moon travel and being business savvy. The three main characters are intelligent and insightful. The relationships that grow around them are interesting and don't detract from the main story line.
Tyler is one of my favorite leading men. He's able to lead a team, be in charge and not let anything get him down. There are a couple of surprises about him that start from the first chapter. He's a little bit of a reformed womanizer and he's definitely in love with Anika from the beginning.
Be prepared to fall in love with Anika, she's feisty and completely loveable. She takes care of her family and her friends like a big momma bear but makes sure that even her patients are included in that family circle. Even when she's stressing out and working herself to the bone she takes time out for each and every patient.
All of the side characters that are mentioned by name are fully formed people. You're not left wondering about each of them, because their stories speak for themselves.
There are a couple of grammatical errors in the book, but nothing that makes it hard to read and figure out what the passages actually mean.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Mooncrossed is fantasy, mystery and romance combined in one book. It is well written with an original plot and there is a lot happening, so it keeps your attention until the end. Check it out, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
I enjoyed this Sci-fi Romance. It had an engaging story and kept a steady pace. Innovation, Conflict and Healing are large story elements. They are themes I can get behind.
In 2093, pilot Jason Tyler runs the daily transport shuttle service from the space station to the moon. Doctor Anika Verde serves as the chief medical technician, the only medic aboard the Anders-Borman-Lovell space station orbiting the moon. Both Jason and Anika, as well as their mutual friend, Jesse Townsend, graduated from the Academy.
Although they were once best friends, something has come between Tyler and Anika; he has no idea what it is, she won’t say. But when medical supplies go missing, a deadly virus invades the space station, and there are accidents on the lunar dome construction site, will they find a way to work together?
This charming romantic tale plays out against a backdrop of shuttles, space stations, and lunar settlements, proving that love truly is everywhere. The world-building here is spot-on, the characters believable and, although readers may roll their eyes at some of Anika’s choices, the unfolding story plays out with some surprising revelations and gives readers a satisfying denouement. It’s a perfect story for readers of both science fiction and romance genres; it’s a story that’s sure to leave readers with a smile or two. Readers are likely to find it difficult to set this intriguing story aside before turning the final page.
Highly recommended.

This book was very well-written and engaging! I finished it in a couple of days, and it was so good, I had a hard time putting it down to do anything else. It was a little steamier than I like, which is why I only gave it 4 stars, but besides that, it was super interesting, and I loved it!!
I quite enjoyed the mix of the three main characters, Jesse, Anika, and Tyler. These characters are intelligent and knowledgeable. The relationships that grow around them are interesting and don't run from the main storyline. Tyler is one of my favorite leading men. He's able to lead a team, be in a power role and not let anything get him down and out. There are a couple of surprises that come out about him that start from chapter one. He's a bit of a corrected womanizer and he's mostly in love with Anika from the start.
The one thing that I have cherished about Ashleigh Steven’s books is how she uses ASL within her storyline. It makes me wonder if she grew up in a deaf family or whatever. She was so good at explaining it within the story, the different signs, that I could actually picture them doing it while I read the book.
I really liked the characters but the story is not the author's best work according to me. I appreciate the diversity of characters but the pacing was flat and never picked up enough. I will still read the author's other works because I like the unique ideas.
This was my first read from this author. This was an insteresting storyline, I really enjoyed. I liked that it was written in the first person point of view. 4.5 stars I received an ARC copy of this book through StoryOrigin in exchange for an honest voluntary review.
2 stars. Digital book. If I didn’t own this it would’ve been a DNF. Our main characters acted like they were in middle school; I was so over it. Only redeeming quality was the space aspect.
