Beneath the Stars by A.L. Jackson

5.0

I knew I would love Rhys the moment I met him when he swaggered out to give Leif grief and meet Mia. He is such an easy character to like but in his story, you find so many reasons to love him. His belief that he destroys everything he loves is just so heartbreaking. Then along comes Maggie with her kind heart to show him he's not lost nor unredeemable. Their love story is just so sweet, both trying to heal each other's wounds. Honestly it's even sweeter than Austin's story.

I loved how the story unfolded. The present interwoven with glimpses of Rhys's past, showing you the events that made him who is is. Showing is always more in depth than telling. And I love how Maggie just holds him, both figuratively and physically, so many times in this book. She is a character with quiet strength so often overlooked in this world of giant personalities and the contrast between her and Rhys is perfection.

This story will take you on twists and turns and just when you think you know what is happening, the story gets flipped a bit. In typical A.L. Jackson form, you'll be swept into the story and when you near the end, you'll be running to find out how it all works out. This amazing story needs to be on your shelves and if you have yet to read this series, get your TBR list ready. You need to dive headfirst into this angsty series.
