Today I’m excited to participate in the Release Blitz of ‘Beneath The Stars’ by A.L. Jackson. This is a Contemporary Romance novel and the fourth book in the Falling Stars series, but can be read as a standalone.

Author: A.L. Jackson

Genre: Contemporary Romance

ISBN: B08TVMVYCY

Goodreads Rating: 4.67

From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes a friends-to-lovers romance about an unattainable rockstar and his best friend’s younger sister… Maggie Fitzgerald is the last girl I should think about taking to my bed. On the cusp of turning 21, she has her whole life waiting out ahead of her. Sexy AF while still radiating an innocence that I know better than to taint. And here I am, itching to reach out and touch a girl who is so forbidden that just thinking about her feels like committing a mortal sin. Thing is, I love playing with fire. Rhys Manning is everything I shouldn’t want. Country-rock’s newest superstar. Fun. Wild. Ready to show the world a good time. He’s so off-limits it isn’t even funny. So out of reach he might as well be a poster tacked on my wall. Too bad every time he looks at me, my heart races out of control. Now, I’m stuck living with him for the entire summer… We’re only supposed to be friends. Still, I should have known it was a terrible idea when I started sneaking into his room. Especially when it’s clear he’s keeping secrets. Secrets that might destroy us both. One touch, and I want more. One kiss, and I’m spiraling out of control. I know it’s reckless to start dancing in the flames. But in exchange for getting to spend one night with this brooding bad boy? I might be willing to get burned…

After reading a few of A.L. Jackson books, and a few in this series, I knew I wanted to read more. And after reading the book description I knew for certain this was book I needed to read. So when I received an ARC, I got super excited and dived right in.

In ‘Beneath The Stars’ we meet Maggie and Rhys. Maggie is a twenty year old who has been through hell. But she isn’t like most woman her age. Maggie is definitely more mature than most people her age, and she really ‘feels’ people. And from the moment she met Rhys Manning, a thirty two year old country rock star, a few months back she has been in awe of him. But a relationship between the two of them is definitely forbidden. Not only is Maggie way to innocent and young for Rhys, there is also danger luring and although their chemistry is of the roofs.. Some people would do anything to hurt Rhys.

‘Beneath The Stars’ is definitely A.L. Jackson at her best. From the moment I started reading I found myself wanting to know more about these two characters. Both Maggie and Rhys are so different, but they have this connection that is just incredible to read about it and I was rooting for them from the start. The chemistry between them is flying of the pages and definitely makes you swoon and sigh.

What I also love about this read, is that it isn’t only romance. There is also some suspense going on, and it kept me guessing right till the very end. Especially Rhys’s characters is so mysterious and there is a lot in his past that keeps hunting him. And I really wanted to keep on reading to find out what was going on. And to be honest.. his past with his dad made me cry. I was so sad for the little boy. Especially since I work at a Trauma ward in the hospital and have seen stuff like this happen in real-life.

What was also fun is reading about characters from the previous books. A.L. Jackson is definitely a star in letting her characters intwine into different books and series. And although I haven’t read them all, I enjoyed reading about these characters too. But at times there were a lot of names to keep apart. And I’m really not good with names.

‘Beneath The Stars’ was a fun and entertaining read that definitely makes you want to read more A.L. Jackson novels.
