Beneath the Stands
Sugarlake bk 2
by Author Emily McIntire
Narrated by Sarah Puckett & Theo Sinclair

Emily McIntire had done it again. Book 2 of her Sugarlake series had me at the first line and kept me captivated for the whole story. This interconnected stand alone features Becca and Eli. Growing up in the same town, Becca knew Eli as her best friend's brother. He left home after the death of his mother, leaving behind chaos. Now years later, Becca runs into him at her college, just as she is in need of a job. He is the new assistant basketball coach, and she is going to be working with him. Despite the chemistry, their mutual dislike for each other is evident. Until it's not. McIntrie weaves a complex story of family deceptions, small town gossip, forgiveness, redemption and love like we all hope to find. I fell in love with Sugarlake in the first book in this series, and now I know, I will be coming back to visit every time I can!

Sarah Puckett and Theo Sinclair tell us this story with a fabulous narration. Puckett aids in the personality building of Becca. Snarky, smart, determined, and insecure, she give Becca all the feels and lets us see her grow over time. Sinclair brings out the best features in Eli. His warmth, love and need to redeem himself all comes through with his nuances. This team of narrators enhances the book and made the time fly by.
