About this listen
Tabitha Brighton's name made national headlines when she was kidnapped by the infamous serial killer known as the Matchmaker.
She was also known for something else: being the only victim he ever willingly released. Now, two years later, she's ready to tell her story.
Through a series of interviews with a local writer, single mother Tabitha relives every harrowing detail of her trauma, haunted by the memory of the man she was held captive with and ultimately lost. As she confronts her demons, she finds solace in Gabe—the new man in her life who will do whatever it takes to prevent her from slipping back into the shadows.
But Gabe has his own troubled past that threatens to unravel their fragile connection. And just when Tabitha begins to believe in the possibility of new love and a fresh start, her world is turned upside down once again.
Gabe always tells her not to look down, and to keep flying. But even stars fall…
And no one ever talks about the crash.
The Stars Are on Our Side is a follow-up novel to Still Beating and Lotus, featuring fan-favorite characters Tabitha and Gabe. It is highly recommended that you listen to both Still Beating and Lotus before listening to this book for the best experience.

Story
Want to know what happens to a man who barely claws his way out of a tragedy, only to fall right into the arms of the one girl in the world he can never have? Another tragedy, that's what. When I was six years old, my father made a choice that altered the course of my entire life. Because of what he did, the only girl I ever loved became the only girl I couldn’t have. In a lot of ways, I did have her; I had her first steps, her first words, her first smile. I had her milestones, her heartbreaks, her dreams.

Bruised and abused, and victim to a loveless household, I shimmered with new life the moment he found me drowning my sorrows in a lake beneath the stars. A chance encounter. An unspoken connection. I was smitten. He was curious. But, as everyone knew, fate could be decidedly cruel. He called me Halley, like the comet. I called him Reed. And my best friend? Well… she called him Dad.

There once was a girl with fireflies in her eyes and music in her soul. Remember her... she's important. She's the reason I panic-bought the little brick house on Maple Street, the one I lived next door to for eight magical years. Now that I'm back digging up floorboards and lost journals, I can't stop thinking about the two people who grew up here. You see, that girl was my best friend, and this house was once hers. She also had a big brother who was my everything before circumstances turned us into nothing more than memories.

Story
When Cora attends her sister's birthday party, she expects at most a hangover or a walk of shame. She doesn't anticipate a stolen wallet, leaving her stranded and dependent on Dean—her arch nemesis and ultimate thorn in her side. And she really doesn't anticipate waking up in shackles in a madman's basement. To make matters worse, Dean shares the space in his own set of chains. After fifteen years of teasing, insults, and practical jokes, the ultimate joke seems to be on them. The two people who always thought they'd end up killing each other must now work together if they want to survive.

I'm twenty-six years old, and I want to die. So when I wake up at the hospital with my brother weeping over me, I know my life is about to change. What I didn't expect was to get a nurse with cruel eyes and a morbid sense of humor that surpasses my own. I'm even more surprised when I arrive at Harlow Sanctum and realize that my brother selected an unorthodox rehabilitation center that rooms people based on their treatment plan. And my roommate is none other than the man with cruel eyes I met the day prior.

When my husband died, he left my broken heart behind. He left another heart behind, too - his.
I know it's wrong. I shouldn't be contacting the recipient of my husband's heart. I don't even expect him to reply.... But there's a desperate, twisted part of me that hopes he will. No names. No personal details. Just a conversation. The only thing I have left of my husband is inside him.

“Give me a second chance, babe . . . and I’ll blow your mind.” Monroe doesn’t know why she answers the text that’s obviously meant for someone else. Or why she keeps answering. Maybe it’s because she’s all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it’s because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on. Still, Monroe never would’ve snarked back if she’d known she was talking to the “Golden Boy” of the Dallas Knights.

The average song is three and a half minutes long; those three and a half minutes could lead to a slow blink, a glimpse of the past, or catapult the soul into heart-shattering nostalgia. At the height of my career, I had the life I wanted, the life I’d always envisioned. I’d found my tempo, my rhythm. Then I received a phone call that left me off key. You see, my favorite songs had a way of playing simultaneously. I was in love with one man’s beats and another’s lyrics. But when it came to the soundtrack of a life, how could anyone choose a favorite song?

What I thought was my pre-destined path was very much an illusion. Living seven years with regret, I realized too late that I was broken and that I only had myself to blame. I thought love could wait.... but it didn't. We'd had it all those years ago, and then I foolishly left it behind. She was all that mattered. She was all there ever was. There was no life without Dallas, no reason... except her.

According to the FBI, I was considered a serial murderer after three kills. What do they call me after fifty-two? They call me the Silencer. One final bullet would have been all it took to stop me from taking another soul, and I would have been doing Meridian City a service by pulling that trigger. An angel crying for help stopped me, and that night, I took three lives for her. Then three turned into eight. Then eight turned into twenty. Twenty turned into twenty-one. Twenty-one turned into twenty-three.

All of us were dressed to the nines, one of us wearing a wedding dress, a day that was supposed to mark the beginning of a new adventure. It marked the bitter end of our vengeance. We have done things that have marked our souls for eternity. But before we get there, we have to go back. Back to where it all started. The place I could find in my sleep.

Now that I'm back digging up floorboards and lost journals, I can't stop thinking about the two people who grew up here. You see, that girl was my best friend, and this house was once hers. She also had a big brother who was my everything before circumstances turned us into nothing more than memories.

Story
Bruised and abused, and victim to a loveless household, I shimmered with new life the moment he found me drowning my sorrows in a lake beneath the stars. A chance encounter. An unspoken connection. I was smitten. He was curious. But, as everyone knew, fate could be decidedly cruel. He called me Halley, like the comet. I called him Reed. And my best friend? Well… she called him Dad.

When my husband died, he left my broken heart behind. He left another heart behind, too - his.
I know it's wrong. I shouldn't be contacting the recipient of my husband's heart. I don't even expect him to reply.... But there's a desperate, twisted part of me that hopes he will. No names. No personal details. Just a conversation. The only thing I have left of my husband is inside him.

The two people who always thought they'd end up killing each other must now work together if they want to survive.

Five years ago, I bled to death from a knife to the throat. But I didn't stay dead. I woke up changed, and remembered far too much. I have been haunted by the memories of my past lives ever since. For five years, I've had the illogical certainty that I've spent lifetimes connected to the same soul. Lifetimes of love, heartache, and betrayal. Was I destined to find them again? As fate would have it while seeking revenge for my death, my murderer led me straight to her: Sunny.

What I thought was my pre-destined path was very much an illusion. Living seven years with regret, I realized too late that I was broken and that I only had myself to blame. I thought love could wait.... but it didn't. We'd had it all those years ago, and then I foolishly left it behind. She was all that mattered. She was all there ever was. There was no life without Dallas, no reason... except her.

I'm twenty-six years old, and I want to die. So when I wake up at the hospital with my brother weeping over me, I know my life is about to change. What I didn't expect was to get a nurse with cruel eyes and a morbid sense of humor that surpasses my own. I'm even more surprised when I arrive at Harlow Sanctum and realize that my brother selected an unorthodox rehabilitation center that rooms people based on their treatment plan. And my roommate is none other than the man with cruel eyes I met the day prior.

From a young age, the only thing in life I've ever taken seriously is hockey. I'm not the guy anyone—besides family and teammates—can count on. This is all true. At least, until a certain curly-haired, blue-eyed goddess comes to me looking for an easy hookup. And hook her up I do. But what's supposed to be a one-night stand doesn't stop at one night. What's meant to be easy sure as hell gets complicated fast. It becomes clear that Addison LaConte is just as much my savior as she is my demise.

Tragic but beautiful story
While some parts were difficult to listen to (I can still hear the screaming of disbelief with “NO, NO, NO!”), the love story is absolutely beautiful in how she overcomes such a tragic and soul-breaking experience … twice. I just want to give Tabitha a consenting hug.
I love this whole series!

Another heart wrenching story
Jennifer’s stories remind me of true crime meets romance. Her stories are often so heart breaking but also with great character development and twists we don’t often expect. Great narrators as well!

I will never recover
This book was everything. I was a little skeptical starting this book because nothing comes close to Still Beating. So I was worried this story would fall short. Imagine my surprise when I spent all 15 hours of the audiobook bawling my eyes out. It was heartbreaking, healing, compelling, and everything I didn’t know I needed to hear about this world what happened to this couple. Please add it to your list!

A love story after Trauma
The trauma hit me right in the feels. I felt like I was in the basement with Tabatha. Just like I felt like my heart was breaking with hers too. This was such a good book.

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
this is the second book IN A ROW that I've listened to that is straight up written to wreck you emotionally. I have a migraine now. Why do I do this to myself?
We met Tabitha in Still Beating as another victim of the Matchmaker serial killer and we met Gabe in Lotus as the brother of one and best friend of the other main character. Gabe is the best book boyfriend ever. Tabitha is obviously going to need time to open herself up romantically and sexually but he is patient and kind and knows the perfect thing to say always. It's almost as if he isn't real or something.
The audio was perfect (it would only be more perfect if it was duet). Meg Sylvan has a vulnerable, emotional way about her and Marcio Catalano has such a strong and sexy voice that just made me love Gabe more.
Somehow, I was hoping for a different ending for Matthew. We all already know what happened to him but I was hoping for a different outcome. That was truly hard to listen to.

This book will perfectly wreck you!
Brace for impact! This book deals with some really tough stuff, so check your triggers. And I would recommend reading STILL BEATING and LOTUS first. It’s not essential, but some things will make more sense if you do. That being said, this book made me feel all the things. At one point, it almost had me in tears. I felt joy, sadness, devastation, horror, anxiety, desperation, and so much love.
This is a book full of complex characters with tr@umatic backstories. They have many layers, and we get to see them all.
These voice actors absolutely smashed it. From the cracks in their voices to the wails bordering on ugly crying, you can’t help but feel all the emotions. They put you in the basement, in their houses, in the prison. They make you a part of the story. They drag you kicking and screaming through the flashbacks and the healing.
This is a masterpiece that will completely wreck you. But Hartmann sews you back together piece by piece, star by star. And although their HEA is one they were raked over the coals for, it makes it all the sweeter. The epilogue is perfection.
If you like to be turned inside out, you need to read these books. But for the love of all things bookish, brace for impact!
