Chasing the Sun

Star Harbor, Book 1

De: Lena Hendrix

Narrado por: Stephen Dexter, Megan Wicks

He wants me to stay out of his way. I want to get under his skin.

One look at single dad Callum Blackwood, and I know I messed up. I never meant to save a farm—or steal it from under the grumpy innkeeper who had already claimed it as his future.

Now I’m the woman who swooped in on a whim and left him seething.

Trouble is, I have no idea what I’m doing.

Every smirk, every biting comment, is a reminder that he’s waiting for me to fail. But I don’t back down from a fight—even when the fight comes with a jawline that should be illegal and a scowl that sets my pulse racing.

Tempers flare, but when the lines between rivals and lovers begin to blur, I start to see him in a different light. The longer we go toe-to-toe, the more I understand the man behind the scowl. The one who loves his kid fiercely, who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, who looks at me like I’m the reason the sun rises.

Cal’s wrong if he thinks I’ll give up on this farm. He’s even more wrong if he thinks I’ll give up on him.

But holding a man like him is like chasing the sun—brilliant, blinding, and bound to set your entire life on fire.

Superb narration!

A great story! So enjoyable to have earlier characters show up in a cameo. I look forward to the next one in the series!

single dad x small town x rivals to lovers

Welcome to the sweetest small town romance book I’ve read all year. There’s everything you look for - found family friend group, small town lore, quirky townspeople and even local baseball teams. It’s so easy to read, so sweet and the perfect start to a new series!

Read this if you’re in the mood for….
- small town romance
- rivals to lovers
- BANTER
- single dad (son is a teen)

This is the exact book I was needing! I loved their banter and their competition and how that morphed into respect for each other.

Here are a few of my favorite things…
- every time Callum thought he was being cool, casual and completely in control had me laughing so hard.
- he learns how to make her favorite coffee
- the lore was such a fun side plot! I hope we get more of that

I can’t wait for the next book! I’ll definitely be recommending.

Love everything about it!

I have a new favorite Lena book! I really love the way she is able give life to her small towns, they feel like a main character all on their own, and she created the best intrigue in this one. Star Harbor has a ghostie legend and lost love story that I can’t wait to find out more about throughout this series. And for the actual MCs, Elodie and Callum - these two have a rivalry and forced proximity that turns into fantastic chemistry. I immediately loved Elodie, she is all sunshine and sass, and trying to figure out where she fits and what to do next after a betrayal. And who doesn’t love a broody, single dad, who can cook?! One of my favorite parts was definitely the bond that grows between Elodie and Levi (Callum’s son). I could relate to so many little things in this book. And that ending, oh my gosh. This whole series is going to be incredible!

🎧 I feel like Stephen Dexter had fun with the characters, he had a distinct voice for each of them (and there were several), and I just adored everything about his performance. And is it a coincidence that every one of the FMCs Megan Wick’s portrays become my favorite? if you haven’t listened to her yet, please do yourself a favor and grab an audio narrated by her, she’s amazingly talented, I love listening to her! These two are two of my favorites, and I was happy to have them together in duet for this one.

chasing a dream

this story is more like chasing a dream each character seems to be doing exactly that chasing their dream. I feel like the female character doesn't realize it at first but She grabbed grabs a hold and is exactly that going after her dream. until two dreams collide which kind of is what happens it's a good story entertaining this is done in Duet Style so the mail does the male parts and the female does the female parts this is the first time I've ever heard this female narrator and I didn't like her a lot she did an excellent job with the story as well as Steven but I've heard him before and he's always done well. I'm hoping that we're going to get more star Harbor I do believe we are but one will have to wait and see

good, but not my favorite

I'm a huge fan of lena, but this wasn't my favorite of her books. I feel like the only thing that these two had in common was in the bedroom. They used spicy sleep time to solve their problems and connect without really talking about their issues. They finally have some important conversations toward the end of the book, but I felt like there were conversations that were missed. A lot of conversations and growth was internal, not together.
