BLURB:
Six weeks. Thirty-five cities. One more chance to get it right.
Noah McCallister.
Extreme athlete. Habitual heartbreaker. The only boy I’ve ever loved.
We’re a tragedy. A beautiful melody with dissonant chords. A soaring ballad of heartache, enduring love, and lost youth.
Once upon a time, he was my everything. My once in a lifetime. My past and my future. The white knight who balanced my entire world on the palm of his hand.
Until I lost him.
Now I’m out there reaching for the stars while he’s off chasing his next adrenaline rush.
Cliff diving, rappelling down waterfalls, skydiving… you name it he’s done it.
I’m convinced there’s nothing Noah can’t do. Except for one. He can’t quit.
As his appetite for risk grows more insatiable, I begin to worry that he’s on a quest to cheat death.
Losing him is inconceivable. So I make him an offer he can’t refuse—join me for the final leg of my world tour as the official videographer.
He only agrees because he thinks I need him. But he’s wrong.
Six years ago, Noah saved my life… and now it’s my turn to save him.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
When The Stars Rise is a rollercoaster of emotions and angst as childhood besties and exes Noah, an extreme athlete, and Hayley, Hayley, figure out if they are meant to be forever.
There is so much love between these two, and this book is full of angst as they attempt to settle their past and build a future together. As childhood best friends, there is a lot of shared history between Noah and Hayley — and that’s not even accounting for the fact that they are technically stepsiblings. (Lila’s pregnancy with Noah was a huge bulk of Book #1 When The Stars Fall, and Hayley was given up for adoption by Shiloh, who later came back to look for her in Book #2 When The Storm Breaks. They were not raised as siblings, as Hayley was raised by her adoptive family, and the truth about her parentage didn’t come to light until they were in grade school.) So yeah, the dynamics between Noah and Hayley are complex, to put it mildly.
But while it’s clear that Noah and Hayley’s love runs deep, there is also a ton of shared trauma that they need to deal with before they can move forward. It’s messy and complicated…
So, having read the other books in this series, I enjoyed WtSR, but it wasn’t my favorite of the bunch. I don’t think that WtSR is a standalone. There are a lot of references to things that happened in previous books; I had to go back and re-read portions of Brody & Shiloh’s to connect the dots more than once. This book also ties in Emery Rose’s Love & Chaos series, as Noah and Hayley are friends with the kids from those characters. I thought that there was a lot of “tell” and not enough “show” in this book, and that’s a sticking point for me.
That said, I very much enjoyed the emotional rollercoaster that Noah and Hayley went on, even though it’s a long and bumpy road to their HEA!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
