Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets. Secrets that cost us everything to keep. That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to. Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

I’m head over heels in love with my best friend. Although, I can’t pinpoint exactly when Reeve Lancaster became my entire world. Was it when we were little kids, practically brought up together, after Reeve’s mom died during childbirth and his dad subsequently fell apart? Or when I doodled his name in my school journal at age 10? Maybe it was when we became boyfriend and girlfriend at 14 or when we shed our virginity at 16, pledging our forever?

He was the talented bad boy everyone wanted. I was the irrelevant geek everyone hated. He was the sun...drawing all of us in. I was a black hole...taking up space. He was destined to be a star. I was destined to remain an insignificant no one. Until he made me believe I was special...and then he destroyed me. I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans. One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows. Countless opportunities to make him pay. The world thought he was a god...but I know the truth.

And when I finally saw him, it was the best and worst thing to ever happen to me. We burned hot and fast. Passion. Anger. Love. Pain. We were reckless. Naive. We were doomed from the start.

Publisher's summary
From USA Today best-selling author Emily McIntire comes an angsty second-chance romance and the first interconnected stand-alone in the Sugarlake series.
Alina Carson meets Chase Adams when she’s 11 years old, after he moves in down the street carrying nothing but a chip on his shoulder and dimples in his cheeks.
Immediately she falls, loving him before she even knows what loving is. But becoming best friends with Chase’s little sister means that he’s off-limits, no matter how much their connection screams for something more.
Chase never cared much for following the rules. Abandoned by everyone who was supposed to love him, he’s broken and insecure, choosing to push others away before they have a chance to hurt him. But there’s something about the girl with golden hair, and before he can stop himself, he’s sneaking through her window, whispering his deepest secrets beneath her glow stick stars.
As time goes on and they get older, he decides to give their love a chance, no matter what anyone else thinks. But old habits die hard, and when tragedy strikes, Chase is back to doing what he does best.
Ruining everything.
Chase disappears, and years pass, leaving Alina with no choice but to pick up her broken pieces and move on. Until one day, he’s back. All grown up and taking over his family’s business.
When Alina and Chase are thrown together and forced to work in the same building, old feelings resurface, and Alina quickly realizes that Chase is on a mission, determined to right the wrongs of his past.
Starting with her.
Beneath the Stars is the first interconnected stand-alone in the Sugarlake series. It contains mature and graphic content. Listener discretion is advised. Full list of TW can be found on author's website.

Story
The night we met in the dimly lit bar, she looked like a brunette bombshell, and I wanted to learn her deepest secrets. With sun-kissed skin and soulful bedroom eyes, she was pure temptation, and I was mesmerized. As one drink led to two, I craved more of her playful banter and taunting lips. Resisting her wasn't an option, and we quickly became a desperate mess of tangled limbs and hot kisses. She tasted like the sweetest sin, but I was no saint.

When he walks into my bar three months later, everything I thought I knew and what we'd had disappears in the blink of an eye and the blinding light of the three-carat diamond on his fiancee's hand.

Jesse Lee is the worst! He’s a multi-millionaire, triple-platinum-selling, Grammy-Award-winning man-slut - a worldly, self-indulgent heathen. I wouldn’t sleep with him if he were our last chance to ensure survival of the human race. The only reason I put up with him is because he’s my boss’s brother. Playing by Heart is an enemies-to-lovers romance where opposites not only attract, they ignite.

Breaking news: The bad boy of baseball, Maddox Paige, is totally and utterly whipped. Okay, that might not be the headline in the newspaper this morning, but it's the reality of my current situation. It all started a month ago when I received a call from my best friend, Kinsley. She’d gotten a new job in Chicago and needed a place to stay. I've known the girl since I was five, so I figured there wouldn't be any harm in having her stay at my place for a while. Ha! Total disaster.

Carter Beckett is the NHL’s resident bad boy, top player both on the ice and in the bedroom, and quite possibly the sexiest man to ever grace my field of vision. But worst of all? He knows it. He’s arrogant, self-centered, and the man doesn’t seem to know what a filter is, let alone how to use one. He’s had everything served to him on a silver platter, including endless strings of women, and apparently, I’m up next. I have the solution to all my sexual frustrations in a drawer at home, and it’s far less complicated than Carter Beckett.

He's a gritty, grease-covered mechanic, and a single daddy. Sweet, right? Plus, he's looking for a nanny - and I am desperately looking for a job. Sounds like the perfect deal. Only he's a jerk. An uncivilized, hulking brute. Zero manners. Zero interest in making me feel welcome in his home. Downright rude. But oh, so sexy. And I need the job. I can do this.

I save only the worst of the worst, the crème de la crème, the absolute I cannot even for this list: black coffee, rude people, and Nathaniel Bradley. Which is why when my father informs me that he’s making Nathaniel Bradley his new business partner, and in turn, my boss, I flip out. I go into this knowing I’ll hate every second in his presence. Except the longer he’s around, the more I find myself staring at his lips and remembering the one time they were on mine.

Expensive. Powerful. And entirely f--ked up. That sums up the pretentious but elite circle I grew up in. As much as I hate it, this life has its perks. If I want it, it's mine. It's as simple as that. Until she showed up. She's a tempting little vixen I'm not allowed to have. One intense night changed it all between us, threatening to shatter everything we knew. She came up with a lie. I came up with a cover. Because the truth is… I can't keep my hands off her, and one night would never be enough.

Story
Very emotional
This was a tough book to get through for me, not because it was bad. I thought the story was great and the characters were real. There was a lot of reference to substance abuse. As the adult child of addict parents, it really struck a nerve with me so I would have to pause it to take a minute.
Chase and Lily were left by their drug addict mother. Chase is the older sibling, so even when they were with mom (who I also think may have been Bipolar also) he was the one taking care of Lily. Alina meets them when they move in down the street when she and Lily are 11. They become the best of friends, and Chase ends up gravitating toward Alina also! She was just that person that all the people seemed to gravitate to. Eventually Chase and Alina got together (after she was crushing on him FOREVER). But true to the mind of the child of an addict, he constantly felt like he was not good enough.... and he let that take over his life and disrupt every relationship he had. Even with his sister and his adopted parents.
Alina was such a giving and understanding girl who put up with a lot from him. Until she suffered from her own tragedy and she basically couldn't deal with the drama anymore. Then she got to know what it is like to be the child of an alcoholic. 8 years later Chase moves back to Sugar Lake and runs right into Alina! He ends up witnessing her father having an issue at the bar and that is how he finds out the secret she is keeping from all of her friends. He then goes out of his way to help her.... and that is his IN to getting her back.
While a lot of people will say a lot of terrible things about Chase, I think he is very real! His character development was ON POINT! While he wasn't very swoony, I was rather impressed that he got himself some help in dealing with his issues! Not something a lot of people do. And then he uses these experiences to help Alina later on. I would like to have seen him grovel more, I felt like he should have done more to win her back and that after putting up a fight, she gave in kind of easy once he explained. But again, that is probably a bit closer to realistic because by this point he has gone out of his way to help her out and she really needs some one to lean on. But more groveling on his part would have been nice.
This was the first time I heard a duet narration and it took a little getting used to. But I really did like it. Steve Campbell was new to me.... but I have to say I am a fan! I totally believed him! Definitely love this story and I am eager to listen to the rest of the books about the Sugar Lake crowd! I need to know what kind of HEA they all get!

Beneath the Stars is so good
Beneath the Stars makes me yearn for the sugar-sweet love of honeysuckle summers, high school sweethearts & secret kisses under shooting stars. McIntire reminds us to always search for love that burns like wildfire.

Alina: There is almost no way not to fall immediately in love with Alina - from the moment you meet her at 11 years old. While Chase may be the comet of their ever-burning love story, Alina is the glorious constant flame, striving to be her best while diving head first into her own bad decisions.
Her overzealously honest mouth and belief in the best of people pulls you into until you’re ready to move mountains to protect her. She’s the bleeding heart no one deserves as a friend or partner. Throughout the novel, it’s difficult not to be angry with how everyone in her life treats her. You’re fully rooting for her happy ending.
Chase: Chase is the man you want to hate, and he does everything possible to make you love him. It’s impressive to experience his transformation from a struggling young boy into an astoundingly complex man. Every man should read Chase’s perspective, because while he may not be the perfect man, he can teach many of us what it means to find light through yourself in darkness of your own making.
It also helps he’s one of the most reverent lovers that will have anyone preening with jealousy. Personally, I was not Team Chase for a lot of the novel - that protective instinct kicking in - but he puts new meaning into the word “soulmate.”
Jax: Jax might be the man for me. Between that smile and hair he could be the perfect man. He’s a great friend - with a few (understandable?) road bumps along the way. Let’s just say I’ll be returning to Sugarlake for Episode: Jax.
The Narrateds did such a wonderful job telling the story of Beneath the Stars. They brought the characters to life. making you feel like you where apart of the story. i highly reccomend everyone to check out this book.

Wow - so happy I picked this up.
I literally cannot say enough good things about this book. Every single chance I got was spent listening, I couldn’t put it down. I loved the writing, the storyline, all of it. This is already one of those books that has me wanting more. That being said, I think adding to it wouldn’t make sense…I’m just being greedy. I wish so badly it didn’t end. This is one of those books that grabs your attention right from the start, no waiting to get “into” the storyline. My only critique would be that I wanted to get a little more closure on a few things when the book ended, but you are left feeling good…left to piece together what you want the ending to be in that regard. I think anything more being added to this would have spoiled what is already so great. I already know this is a book I won’t stop thinking about for at least the next 2 weeks. I’m excited to read others by this author, and I will most definitely be recommending to friends. So happy I read this, one of my new favorites.

A Solid 4 Stars
In reality, I would probably rate this book a 3.5 if I could. I enjoyed the experience, but the issues or low points of the story and narration aren’t washed away by the high points.
I love the fact this story shows the path to healing and redemption in the male protagonist. I am bummed out we didn’t get more of that for the female protagonist. I really didn’t like the presentation of her being near faultless and “perfect”. She wasn’t and has work of her own she needs to accomplish.
I felt some elements of the side plots as well as the redemption section of their love story really faltered or were lacking. Alina really needed to go to therapy or something before jumping back into a connection that left the scars it did on her. However, it was immensely enjoyable to read about a healthy, respectable male love interest/protagonist! That was probably the best part of the book for me.
Throughout the story are many hints, references, and clues to the other side character’s stories that will be taking focus in sequels. That was a fun element. However, i feel even some of these side characters were not fleshed out as well as they should’ve been. Im curious about Becca’s story but really don’t care about Jax’s.
Anyways, all in all, a nice experience, easy listen aside from a few weird or jarring moments with narration (few and far between), and a nice story. Not sure if i will continue with this series, but i am interested in reading more from McIntire.

Beautiful and sad love story
I’m a sucker for a friendship romance and this book didn’t disappoint. It kept me up into the night, listening instead of sleeping. Love all the books I have read from this author.

small town romance
Emily McIntyre has written a beautiful, emotional, gut- wrenching, second chance romance. She describes how the friendship and young love between 13 yr old Chase and 11 yr old Alina developed through their teens. Chase's broken background keeps him from knowing what real love is. It's hard for him to communicate his deep feelings to Alina.
The jealousy, insecurities, and lack of communication eventually led to their downfall. The story also touches how addiction to drugs and alcohol can effect the emotional stability of family.
Years later, Chase moves back home. By his going to therapy to understand himself, he becomes a better man. All he needs now is to convince Alina to take another chance on him.
Sarah Puckett and Steve Campbell tell this story with so much emotion. I thoroughly enjoyed this story.

Outstanding Story & Listen🎧 Gripping & Heartfelt!
This book just blew me away, it is an amazing story that draws you in right from the start and captivates your attention the entire time. It is my first book written by Emily McIntire, I enjoyed her writing style, the characters and storylines she creates are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. This book is Aline May and Chase Adam’s story, It is not always an easy story and the characters have their share of hardships and issues, including dealing with inner demons. The story is set over the years and takes you up the present and is told in alternating POV. I thought it was great to get a full glimpse of when and how they first meet, Aline 11 and Chase 13 years old. There are also some great secondary character who play roles in their life including Jackson Rhoades, Becca and Chase’s sister Lily and several others. Chase and his sister did not have it easy in their early years, their mother abused drugs, it left scars on both of them, abandonment issues and insecurities of not being worthy. My heart went out to those two, loved how he always looked out for her and was sad to see her start to pull away in her late teens. Aline crushed on Chase but he would not look at her that way, thought she was too good for him. After years of denying how he felt he finally gives in and the two finally get together. But life throws more obstacles their way including a heartbreaking losses which changed both their lives. I was really mad at Chase for the part he played in the heartbreak and for giving up so easily, I understand why and that he needed to work on himself. Life has a funny way of working out and bringing people who were meant for each other back together again. This is a beautiful second chance romance, the story is wonderfully plotted with plenty of drama, angst and heartfelt and emotional moments. Emily McIntire, thank you for this amazing story and the emotional rollercoaster ride. I hope the rest of the series is being made into audiobooks too.
🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, Sarah Puckett and Steve Campbell did an awesome job portraying the characters, giving each their own distinct voice and personality as well as heart and attitude. Sara Puckett played Eline’s role with perfection, Steve Campbell did the same for Chase, both were awesome performing the roles of the secondary characters too. Their duet performance enhances this story to another level of awesomeness, their voices worked well together and you could hear the chemistry between the characters as well as all their emotions. These two mega talented narrators are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the awesome listen🎧

Goldie and the stars
When you finish a book like this, it makes you wish you had that buzzing, met your soulmate at 11 kind of life. Chase and Goldie are amazing. Yes, there is always misunderstandings while young love goes through the steps in life but I really enjoyed their journey. The side characters were amazing and I can't wait to hear their stories as well. This doesn't have a cliffhanger but will leave you jumping to your kindle, computer or whatever to see if the next one is available. Sarah and Steve do an amazing job. Can't wait to start the next in the series.
I received an ALC from Pink Flamingo Productions
