The Stars Are on Our Side by Jennifer Hartmann is now live!
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, to keep flying. But even stars fall…
And no one ever talks about the crash.
** The Stars Are on Our Side is an interconnected standalone in the world of Still Beating and Lotus, featuring fan-favorite characters Tabitha and Gabe. It is HIGHLY recommended that you read both Still Beating and Lotus prior to reading this book for the most effective reading experience.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Wow, Jennifer Hartmann did not disappoint with The Stars Are On Our Side. It’s set in the “Matchmaker” world, as Tabitha was one of Earl’s victims, and takes place after the events of Still Beating while Cora and Dean are doing their long-distance relationship. For the full effect, I strongly suggest reading both Still Beating as well as Lotus, as Gabe’s stepbrother and best friend are Oliver and Sydney from that book and he played a big part in it as well.
Tabitha and Gabe’s story is not an easy one to read. They both have physical and mental scars that run deep. He is head over heels in love with her, but Tabitha is so reluctant to let herself fall for a man again after her ordeal. She feels so strongly for Gabe, yet is so afraid to take that step. And he is so patient and kind with her, to the detriment of his own mental health.
In addition to the emotional journey these two must overcome to get to their HEA, there is an element of suspense that weaves throughout the book as well that threatens to destroy any chance of happiness Gabe and Tabitha may have in the future.
The Stars Are On Our Side is a hefty book, but one that is so well worth the read! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
