Summary

From USA Today best-selling author Emily McIntire comes an angsty second-chance romance and the first interconnected stand-alone in the Sugarlake series.

Alina Carson meets Chase Adams when she’s 11 years old, after he moves in down the street carrying nothing but a chip on his shoulder and dimples in his cheeks.

Immediately she falls, loving him before she even knows what loving is. But becoming best friends with Chase’s little sister means that he’s off-limits, no matter how much their connection screams for something more.

Chase never cared much for following the rules. Abandoned by everyone who was supposed to love him, he’s broken and insecure, choosing to push others away before they have a chance to hurt him. But there’s something about the girl with golden hair, and before he can stop himself, he’s sneaking through her window, whispering his deepest secrets beneath her glow stick stars.

As time goes on and they get older, he decides to give their love a chance, no matter what anyone else thinks. But old habits die hard, and when tragedy strikes, Chase is back to doing what he does best.

Ruining everything.

Chase disappears, and years pass, leaving Alina with no choice but to pick up her broken pieces and move on. Until one day, he’s back. All grown up and taking over his family’s business.

When Alina and Chase are thrown together and forced to work in the same building, old feelings resurface, and Alina quickly realizes that Chase is on a mission, determined to right the wrongs of his past.

Starting with her.

Beneath the Stars is the first interconnected stand-alone in the Sugarlake series. It contains mature and graphic content. Listener discretion is advised. Full list of TW can be found on author's website.

So good!!

Get ready for a listen that will leave you with a book hangover. Yes, this book is that good! Emily McIntire's debut novel had me listening nonstop to Chase and EIlina's story. A second chance romance, we meet Chase and Elina during their childhood, both from different backgrounds, yet drawn together. Tragedy, misunderstandings, and life have gotten in their way, and now they have another chance at love. Will this be their time? Elina is quite a woman. She carries a huge burden and it definitely effects her everyday life. Chase has had it hard, and is broken in so many ways. I love how he is mature enough to know what he needs to do and goes for it. These two fit perfectly, and the cast of secondary characters adds depth to their story. I cannot wait to see what McIntire has in store for us next!

Sarah Puckett and Steve Campbell bring this gem to life. Just the right amount of angst, and huge amounts of warmth and love, these two are a fantastic team. Narrating in duet, their voices compliment each other and their dialogue is spot on! I truly was captivated by the story, and their performance just enhanced my experience.

Book hangover incoming

Oh.my.GOSH!! This book was so great, I almost have no words for it! I couldn't stop listening, once I got started. All the feelings, it nearly gutted me at times. The things the two main characters have been through in their life.. Just wow. This is an amazing second-chance romance that I highly recommend, definitely worth a shot! The narrators Sarah Puckett and Steve Campbell also did an amazing job, bringing the characters and story to life. Bravo!

I loved it!

My...heart...
It broke but luckily got put back together at the end.
But oh my how I felt for these characters.
This was my first listen from this author and I'm in love. I want the next book now!
I enjoyed how this story started at the beginning instead of it being flashbacks. Like, I loved that we saw when the main characters met and how they grew up together all the way to present times and how they fall 'back' in love.
This whole book was amazing, hitting some possible triggers for some readers but the author does such an amazing way of writing about addiction and the effects on others, etc.
Overall an amazing read/listen and I recommend it!

Batten down the emotional hatches!

I received this audiobook via a promo code at my request and this is my voluntary review.

Chase Adams. How to explain Chase:
"Maybe if I hadn’t met my soul mate when I was thirteen, and lost her when I was twenty, I would be able to feel for Marissa the way I suspect she’s starting to feel for me. But, I don’t. And it isn’t fair to Marissa for me to pretend otherwise. I’ve tried to let her loose, urged her to meet someone who can give her everything she wants. But she sticks around, showing up and putting her p*ssy on a platter. So for now, I’ll give her the parts of me I can."

Alina knew she loved Chase since she was 11, and through his deep seated neurotic 'I'm not good enough' inner monologue, he screws up... by screwing around... but all these years later he's all grown up and he's never gotten over Alina, she's determined to forget them and carve out even a fraction of a life without the shadow of their connection that is always hovering. I've been where they are, so this is very relatable for me. Narration was perfect and this story knocked me for 6, if I could give it 10 Stars, I would.

Amazing country love story

Trigger warning
Family member death
Addiction

Time skip/ flashbacks
County love story
Second chance romance
Duel narration.

This is a emotional Augsty tear jerker but with a HEA.
It’s a childhood love story that takes you on a roller coaster of there lives together and separate. Sometime life just get in the way of love. But they find their way back to each other. When they are older.
If you like second chance romance with duel narration this is great.
I got this for free for review.

Heart wrenchingly good!

This book brought out a lot of emotions in me I wasn't prepared for.

Alina and Chase have grown up together, they are meant to be but sometimes life gets in the way and royally destroys your plans. Which of course is exactly what happens to these two. Can they get over the hurt and pain of the past and move forward? Only time will tell.

The hurt and pain in this book was so raw and real. The emotions were felt! I loved it and hated it all at the same time. It was hard to endure but oh so worth it. Alina's life did not go according to plan at all and that hit way closer to home than I expected. Chase has been dealing with his own battles and that was hard to witness, again too close to home. BUT... With that being said, I loved watching the growth of these two and the mutual respect they learned for each other.

Sarah Puckett and Steve Campbell did an amazing job of bringing all the emotions to life and really making the reader FEEL what the characters were going through!

5 stars

Although this is longer then I usually go for, it was really worth the listen. A well told story with lots of twists and turns. I’m really looking forward to more books in the series.
The narrators did an amazing job!

beautiful story

ok let's discuss the elephant in the room first.. addiction. I know how hard it is to have someone in the family being consumed by it. this book is not a trigger, I think it could actually help seeing how to react, how to share.. I think the author did a great job with this difficult subject.
now the love story. well it was intense and beautiful. nicely written and I could feel every emotions that were being described. it's everybody's dream to even get 10% of such love like the 2 mcs have.
the characters are great. all of them. it's beautiful to see how they evolve growing up, how they mature. Chase does become a wonderful man. the perfect man.
the narration was brilliant. I LOVE dual narration and it was absolutely perfect here
I will eagerly wait for book no.2 to come out in an audible version, but if it doesn't happen soon, I will definitely get he other books as I want to know what happens next.
I received a free copy of this audiobook and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
