Stand

Bleeding Stars, Book 6

De: A.L. Jackson

Narrado por: Andi Arndt, Zachary Webber

Zachary Kennedy has never been known as a fighter, but he’ll never regret fighting for her…

I’m Zee Kennedy.

Quiet. Reserved. Predictable.

When my brother died, everyone thought I was just the good guy who stepped up to take his place in the band.

No one knew what I was hiding. The one thing I’ve been fighting for.

For six years, I’ve never lost focus.

Not until one chance encounter with Alexis Kensington.

Now she’s become my greatest temptation.

I knew better than to touch her, but now that I’ve had a taste, I can’t get enough.

Her kiss becomes my air. Her body my salvation.

She needed a savior and somehow she became mine.

Taking her was a betrayal. But keeping her means risking everything.

One look at Alexis Kensington, and I know she’s worth the fight.

Will my past continue to keep me down or will I finally find the strength to pull myself up and Stand…

That's a wrap for the angst filled Bleeding Stars series. I enjoyed it.

What an awesome series!

Such a great series ,by an awesome author. Loved all the characters and families. Great ending. Love the narrative.

Couldn’t stop listening

Loved this story. The narrators are my 2 favorite. Definitely recommend you start listening to this today.

Overly long wrap up of Sunder Band series

This story of the final drummer Zee culminates with several answers to mysteries in earlier books. It delves into the reasons why Zee behaves so different than the other band members. There is the usual angst, some very repetitive narrative, and a very ironic tie between a girl, Alexis, that Zee rescues and is drawn to and his own history. The plot worts well but at times is too drawn out and wordy and over dramatic. It also has sweet and sexy moments. While the story focuses on Zee, it also about the rest of Sunder and their families as one big complex family. Andi Arndt and Zachary were great as always. My one complaint with the series is that there weren’t more narrators to give each band member and their woman a separate voice. At the very least it would have been so much better if Sebastian York could have narrated Bas each time as the band’s leader. It was worth the credit but be prepared for an overly long tale to reach the conclusion.

Excellent Series

I took a chance on the first book and was hooked within 2 chapters! Absolutely excellent series of books - the charachters, emotions, devastation, love and sprinkled with a little bad boy heat was addictive. Loved every book and great choice of narrators - Andi & Zachary nailed it! Highly recommend! Bravo!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Similar plot sequence, but I still loved it

All of these bleeding stars books have the same basic plot. Boy meets girl, things get hot and heavy, boy breaks it off cause he thinks there is no way the relationship will work, finally boy realizes he's a dumb ass and begs for girls forgiveness. Maybe there is a comfort knowing that, in the end, there will be a HEA. Even knowing that, I always cry a lot. I definitely think it's worth the credit, no matter what.

Great Series

Love the story and the Narrators, Sabastian York is my fav but boy how I've grown to enjoy Zachary Webber voice, Andi Arndt always ROCKS she is so AWESOME! This story had all my emotions on alert... laughing, crying, smiling, angry....... great Story love all the characters

Amazing series!!!

Amazing series!!! read them in order it will make the books much more enjoyable. although you don't have to.

Ahhh Zachary

This book was a little annoying with how drawn out his secrets were. There was a time I yelled at “him” to just tell her everything lol

However that means I was passionate about the characters right?

His love for her was beautiful and tortured but once he was able to finally let go and let her in 110 percent I just couldn’t stop smiling!!

And that’s epilogue was EPIC!!

What an ending!

Heart wrenching, happy, hot..there are just too many adjectives that can be used to describe this culmination of the Bleeding Stars series. Here I thought Lyrik was my favorite, but he is nothing compared to this hero that AL Jackson has created. Zee is the outsider, the one that has taken the place of his brother after Mark overdosed. He has so many secrets, it's almost impossible to keep track of who he really is. But deep down, this tortured man is the most beautiful of the Sunder men. Alexis meets Zee under the most horrible circumstances, and immediately we see the true man that he is. And the instant connection that these to have is permanent. But will it be enough to get them through? So much has happened since the death of Mark, and so much guilt is carried by Zee. I couldn't imagine how it was going to all play out. Jackson has skillfully written a heart rendering story, with feelings of elation, sadness and of course off the charts heat and chemistry. She also brings in all the characters from the series in this book, bringing us back in the fold of this tight knit family and giving us the most incredible of endings. While it's a little sad to have it end, this series has been one of the most satisfying that I have listened to.

With the narration by Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber, it was magnificently brought to life and brought all the emotional turmoil and happiness right to my heart.
