Beneath the Stars by A.L. Jackson
5.0
5+ stars!
Beneath the Stars is an absolute dream. In more ways than one. I’m constantly in awe of A.L. Jackson’s words. However, Beneath the Stars is on another level. I’m madly, desperately, wholeheartedly in love with this story. From the magnificent storytelling to the beautiful broken characters and the undeniable connection between Rhys and Maggie, this book was nothing short of perfection. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.
The fourth standalone in the Falling Stars series is a gorgeous forbidden, age gap, friends-to-lovers, rockstar romance featuring Carolina George’s sexy bassist, Rhys Manning and Maggie Fitzgerald who also just happens to be Royce’s - from Catch Me When I Fall - little sister.
Full of sweet touches, secrets, heartbreak, suspense and healing, A.L. Jackson does a great job drawing in you and keeping you at the edge of your seat.
Both these characters have my heart. I looove Rhys and Maggie soo sooo much. My favorite thing about them is how they just felt it when one needed the other. They’re just so connected to each other. Talk about swoony. I had a feeling, as I read the other books in the series, Rhys was going to rock my world. Oh my goodness. I didn’t expect to fall so hard for this beautiful man who was really just a scared little boy with a world of guilt on his shoulders. He hid behind his easy going smirk, cocky attitude and player ways. There were so many times where I wanted to reach in and wrap him up and heal his hurt. But alas, only Maggie could heal him and feel him. Maggie is such a pure soul. Innocent and sweet but also dealing with demons of her own. God, what she went through as a teenager is just so heartbreaking. Still, the risks she is willing to take to help others are inspiring. Hands down my favorite heroine in the series.
The forbidden element added another layer of tension that I just ate up. There was a really great push and pull. Wanting to be together but also fearing they would hurt one another if they did get together. Throw in a protective older brother who would not approve, gah! So good!! I'll say it a thousand times more. I loved this book. I can pretty much guarantee that Beneath the Stars will be in my top reads of the year list.
