About this ebook

He has always been the one person she could count on. Falling for him could cost her everything.

Evie Wetzel has spent years putting her family’s struggling restaurant—and everyone else’s needs—ahead of her own. With her savings gone, her future uncertain, and the dreams she once had buried beneath obligation, the last thing she needs is Danny Friessen trying to fix her life.

Danny has known Evie since childhood. She is his closest friend, the woman who understands his silences, challenges every decision he makes, and has always belonged at his family’s ranch. But with law school approaching and an ambitious new woman offering him a glimpse of a very different future, he has never stopped to question what Evie truly means to him.

Until one heated argument changes everything.

Now the friendship they trusted may be impossible to recover. Evie refuses to wait while Danny decides what—or who—he wants, and she won’t trade one person’s plans for another’s, even if walking away means leaving behind the only home she has ever known.

Danny has spent his life believing he could solve any problem through determination alone. But winning Evie’s heart will require something far more difficult: listening, letting go, and proving he doesn’t want to rescue her.

He wants to build a future beside her.

A heartfelt friends-to-lovers New Adult romance about family, first love, finding the courage to pursue forgotten dreams, and discovering that home may have been beside you all along.

Ratings and reviews

Ahh, young love! This is a review of the audiobook, Overall – 5 Performance – 5 Story – 5 I've been enjoying listening to several audiobooks by Lorhainne Eckhart recently. Even though I haven't read the Friessens series in order it really hasn't taken away from my enjoyment of the stories at all. This is my first audiobook performed by Jeana Rich and I thought she did a great job, much better than some of the other narrators of books in this series. In the Stars brought back memories of falling in love when I was young. Danny and Evie seem so young but at that age you aren't just listening with your heart at times, if you get my drift. Danny and Evie have been friends forever but he is slow to realize that things are changing between them. Evie is just a simple girl and she doesn't feel like she can compete with someone as sexy and gorgeous as Charlie Adams, who also happens to come from a rich family whereas hers is struggling. She steps aside and stops hanging around Danny. What's that saying about not knowing what you had until it's gone? It takes that type of event to get Danny to wake up. Like other books in this series, I could feel the family love the Friessens have for each other and I can see why readers can't get enough of this series. In the Stars is a sweet, but sexy (not explicit), story that's not too long but just right to listen to over a couple of evenings. A review copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.
