Publisher's summary

New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery returns to Blackberry Island with the poignant tale of two sisters on the verge of claiming their dreams.

Small-town nurse Nina Wentworth has made a career out of being a caretaker. More "Mom" than their mother ever was, she sacrificed medical school - and her first love - so her sister could break free. Which is why she isn't exactly thrilled to see Averil back on Blackberry Island, especially when Nina's life has suddenly become…complicated. Nina unexpectedly finds herself juggling two men - her high school sweetheart and a younger maverick pilot who also wants to claim her heart. But as fun as all this romance is, Nina has real life to deal with.

Averil doesn't seem to want the great guy she's married to, and doesn't seem to be making headway writing her first book; their mom is living life just as recklessly as she always has; and Nina's starting to realize that the control she once had is slipping out of her fingers. Her hopes of getting off the island seem to be stretching further away…until her mother makes a discovery that could change everything forever.

But before Nina and Averil can reach for the stars, they have to decide what they want. Will Averil stay? Will Nina leave? And what about the men who claim to love them? Does love heal, or will finding their happy ending mean giving up all they've ever wanted?

Hope there's more to come in this Triology!

I love me some good Susan Mallery and this series doesn't disappoint. 30+ hours of delicious romance. I'm a "Fool's Gold" fan and love this series too!

Susan always delivers

the character's all had pretty great personalities. I like the Susan gives in depth descriptions.
Nina had to figure out which man to love while trying to help her family get their lives straightened out. the love she has for her family finally get's to out shine her feelings of responsibility. the twists in this book are quirky and fun.

It's a good read, and important for hints about her new Series.

I liked the characters and the location.

Which character – as performed by Cristina Panfilio – was your favorite?

I liked them all, except for Avriel...the voice she used for that character was so annoying! Baby talk voices are just annoying to me,

Horrible narration

Would you listen to Evening Stars again? Why?

It would be painful.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Her male voices were absolutely ridiculous and unbelievable.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No I couldn't handle listening to the narration of male voices for that long.

Good story, mixed sound

Enjoyed the story. Earlier parts of the recording was had a "hollow" sound like the book was recorded in different studios.

Great Story

What did you love best about Evening Stars?

The way Nina was able to let go and be a daughter rather than the "mommy".

What other book might you compare Evening Stars to and why?

None at this time

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The narrator could have been a little more dramatic....this story would have been better with someone who could infuse the drama

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

It is nice to see that Susan is expanding her story line to include the LGBT community.
