STARLIGHT

Down the Shore - Book Two

by Evie McGlynn

Release Date: September 13, 2023

Review

Book 2 in Evie’s Down the Shore series is another fantastic book. It has so much depth and a huge array of emotions that will suck you in.

Starlight is Liam and Marco’s story, about how they found the courage to love and trust again. Working the very real fear of risking your heart after so much tragedy.

There are frustrating moments where you want to shake so sense into them, sweet romance (even if they don’t always realize it), and so many moments you wrap them both up in a hug. Coupled with them going on clandestine high-stakes rescue missions, you have a book you don’t want to put down.

There is a lot of trigger-type content - but it is all dealt with with kindness and care and in the end, leaves you hopeful.

Synopsis

Liam

I joined Doctors Without Borders to help save lives and almost lost my own. The only reason I’m alive is because of Marco D’Angelo. My journey to full recovery isn’t smooth, but I’m determined to get stronger and continue to help others in need. When an opportunity arises to help Marco and his team, I grab it with both hands. I’d like to grab Marco with both hands, but he’s put up a wall between us that seems insurmountable. I’m not sure if I’ll break through his wall or break my own heart.

Marco

I left the Navy SEALs to start my life with the man I loved. But he was taken from me in the most brutal way imaginable. Now it’s strictly hookups for me. I am not going through that pain ever again. Liam is a complication I can’t afford. He smart and sassy. He challenges me at every turn and manages to make me smile when no else has been able to. And even though I push him away, I can’t seem to walk away.
