Beneath the Stars by A.L. Jackson
4.0
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.
