When Stars Burn Out

De: Carrie Aarons

Narrado por: C.J. Mission, Stefanie Kay

Stars die in one of two ways: so slowly that each layer burning out feels like agony or suddenly exploding into a million pieces before the universe even has a grasp of what is happening.

When Paxton Shaw left Demi Rosen without so much as a goodbye, he stole her shine in both manners.

Now, eight years later, he’s trying to pull her back into his orbit. The nation’s most beloved football player, a tight end with a seriously tight end, has finally realized Demi is the one who got away.

But she’s a different woman than the weak girl who used to come running whenever he called in the middle of the night. She is strong and successful. Her life’s mission is to grant the wishes of children whose flames have all but been extinguished. And she's untouchable, as dark and cold as a midnight sky with no moon in sight.

When one special child forces their star-crossed paths to collide, it’s impossible for Paxton and Demi to keep the feelings of their past buried. Paxton had been her Halley’s Comet: the once-in-a-lifetime love that scorched Demi’s heart in the most spectacular fashion.

She promised herself she would never make that mistake again. But how can she forget the dreams of love she once had when Paxton wants to make them come true?

Second Chances ♥️💫🏈💙

This is one of my all time favorite books, and I loved seeing it come to life in an audiobook.

Paxton and Demi’s story is a great second chance book. My heart aches for the woman who has so much love in her and only want to share it with the man of her dreams. A man who is more interested in being the big man on campus and then in the NFL.

It’s a great book that highlights how we don’t always see and appreciate what is right in front of us until it’s gone, or until we see it again in a different light.

Wonderful book with wonderful characters and a real storyline that grabs and keeps me, again and again.

Narrators do a great job! Highly recommend!!

Great 2nd chance romance!

I'm male performer driven and C.J. Mission is in my top 10...he just does it for me. He sounds so crisp, commanding and masculine 😍...I'm familiar with Stefanie Kay as well and she is a talented performer; just sometimes her voice gets too high. This was my 3rd Carrie Aarons and so far I have enjoyed her work; I think I will continue to seek out more. Great 2nd chance romance...poor Demi made me cringe when we visited her younger self and how desperate she was for Paxton...but it is understandable... if you ever meet that man that can turn you inside out in the bedroom... that is hard to let go!

4 starz - worthy of a repeat listen
