5.0

⭐️ 5 "Goddess Girl" Stars ⭐️
Wow! I've just finished Beneath the Stars and I'm blown away! This story was pure beauty interlaced with heartache, devotion and passion. A.L. Jackson designed another astounding romance starring two beautiful souls trying to mend their broken pieces together. The enchanting prose only makes the emotion travel so easily across the pages of this novel!

There was always something about Rhys that appealed to me in the previous books of the Falling Stars Series. His cocky personality was truly entertaining and I was ecstatic to see his romance unfold with Maggie. This story was so different then was I was anticipating, but in a very good way.

Rhys hides so much heartache, culpability and self-loathing under his playfulness and humor. I was hurting for the man, slowly discovering his shameful secrets. I couldn’t stop reading, only seeking answers about his past. It was a very long journey to get to that moment where everything is unveiled, but so magical also. I adored how he’s such a good man with Maggie. He is a little reckless and doesn’t feel good enough for this girl that survived such atrocities. He doesn’t want to taint her more, and it just proves how good of a man he truly is when he’s so considerate with her.

Maggie! Oh, how I loved that young woman. With what she lived through, she’s wise beyond her age. She senses Rhys's brokenness and vulnerability. She’s true and a good girl, but when Rhys keeps putting her in the friend zone, she tries everything to prove that they share something tangible. She’s daring and tenacious to prove her point to the man.

This couple gave me chills from their beauty! Totally breathtaking! Their friendship was such a delight to watch grow into love and a burning passion!

The presence of all the familiar and beloved characters from the Bleedings Stars Series / Falling Stars Series made this read even more interesting. In particular, Royce as Maggie’s s over-protective older brother; Emily, Richard and Violet as supportive friends to both Maggie and Rhys; and little Daisy who's so adorable with her uncle Rhys. This was truly heart-warming to witness all of them care for each other.

A.L. Jackson is one of my favorite author for a reason! She always stole my heart with whirlwind romances overflowing with all the feels and a little suspense. The intrigue had me really surprised and hooked, ready for all the revelations. Beneath the Stars is another little gem from her I can assure you!
