Publisher's summary

Firefighter Levi Bailey is used to being alone. Not that he’s lonely. How could he be, with a band of unruly brothers and their wives and growing families? Maybe he’s the odd man out. The one brother who isn’t destined to be with his soul mate. Besides, he has her.

She’s his Juliet, the only woman in the world he can’t ever have. To an outsider, it probably seems crazy. But the Tilikum town feud is no joke—especially now—and Annika Haven is strictly forbidden.

Annika Haven never expected to be back in her hometown, let alone as a single mom with two jobs. Add in a pack of overprotective brothers, a brewing family crisis, and a gossipy, feuding town on the brink of chaos, and life gets complicated. But at least she has him.

He’s her Romeo, a son of the enemy. He makes her smile on her worst days. Yet despite his brooding sex appeal, the one thing she cannot do is fall for Levi Bailey. They’re just friends, and that’s the way it has to stay.

But after months of secret texts and stolen glances, one soul-stealing kiss changes everything. And Levi Bailey is about to do the impossible—defy the feud.

Author’s Note: This audiobook features an intense hero who relentlessly pursues what he wants and a single mom with a tender heart. Contains small-town shenanigans, a 100-year-old mystery, a riot of crazy brothers hot enough to melt your device, and the biggest, heart-bursting happily ever after you’ve been waiting for.

All the Stars

Absolutely loved this book! Narration was excellent story was beyond good. Will read again!

Big...truck. Yeah, we'll go with truck.

First of all, I love that the book covers for Logan and Levi are the same model but the narrators for the audiobooks are different - that suits them exactly. They might look identical, but their internal lives and dialogues are strikingly different. I love that SebYo has a generally darker voice than other narrators and I feel like that suited Levi. Not that he is a dark character, but that he has been hiding this secret for years and has really retreated within himself because of it. Both narrators really captured the secondary characters in a way that is unusual in audiobooks. There can sometimes be a lack of cohesion with voicing characters from previous books, but both narrators did a great job. This book is such an epic conclusion to the series and everything with the Baileys is just so satisfying. That being said, there are SO MANY questions about the Havens that I need answers for. And I'm already mentally casting the audiobooks. Highly recommend.

The perfect twist on a Romeo & Juliet love story! Such a captivating narration and plot!!

“A stolen kiss. A taste of what could have been, if only things were different. Because I was Annika Haven and he was Levi Bailey. And as silly as it might have seemed to an outsider, that was enough to kill whatever could have blossomed between us.”

WOW, WOW, WOW!!! What a remarkable book to end the Bailey brothers series! This book might be my absolute favorite of the series as I’m a sucker for an adorable twist on a Romeo and Juliet love story! Also the fact that Levi Bailey and Annika Haven used “Romeo” and “Juliet” as the names when they texted each other so no one found out…I died!

This book has so much packed into it and is a complete page turner! Levi Bailey and Annika Haven secretly texted in high school, but then actively started texting again when she returned to town. A forbidden friendship turned romance that had them unable to ever meet in person due to the town fued between the Baileys and Havens. This book explores their love story while also working through the unsolved mystery of the hidden treasure/love story that each Bailey Brother has trying to find in every book. Between the forbidden romance and the treasure, the suspense in this book is insane and will have you completely captivated! It is written so incredibly well and will have you on your toes wanting to know more!

Also, the bonus epilogue is everything, so don’t miss it at the end!!

My favorite part of this series is that each book has a different male narrator for the Bailey brother! I loved Sebastian York as Levi Bailey as his voice matched everything I imagined for his character! The perfect tone for this Romeo! Also, Desiree Ketchum was not a narrator that I’ve heard much of before but she was a perfect compliment to SebYo’s voice and made for a fantastic Juliet, aka Annika Haven! An fantastic performance!!!

Awesome!

I loved all the twists and turns and ups and downs! I couldn't stop listening! And Sebastian is always a one click for me!!!!!!!

Loved it

Great book, I’m glad everything was closed up tight. I had never listened to one of Claire Kingsleys books before.

So Good

Everyone should read this series. It is so very awesome! I will be reading it again. Thank you to Claire Kingsley for writing such a wonderful storyline and to all of the narrators who brought the characters to life.

Perfection

The final Bailey to get his HEA couldn't have been more perfect!!! I loved how these two defied the odds and let fate lead the way. The narrators brought these characters to life so much so that I never wanted the book to end

Fantastic Finale to Epic Series!!!

Rewriting the Stars is the fantastic finale of a phenomenal series - amazingly written, heartfelt, swooney, suspenseful and steamy rom-com stories with all the feels!

Rewriting the Stars is book 6 in the Bailey brothers series. There is an underlying mystery woven throughout the entire series that doesn’t get resolved until book six, so you will want to start with book one and I promise you - you will not be disappointed!!!

I’ve anxiously awaited each new installment in the series and tremendously enjoyed all six books. Tilikum is a quirky little town with century old feud between two families. I loved meeting all the characters over the past 2 years and feel as if they’ve become close friends. I’d love nothing more than to vacation in Tilikum - visiting with Gram and soaking up her wisdom, having fun as the Havens and Baileys play their pranks on each other, and as the surprisingly well organized squirrels wreak havoc on the little town.
In Rewriting the stars, we witness the last Bailey brother - Levi - find his forever love; and the interwoven mystery unravels in a dramatic culmination of events as the ever present danger lurks around.

Claire Kingsley has masterfully brought the series home with captivating story line, relatable and remarkably well developed characters and just the right amount of swoon, steam and laugh out loud fun!

The narration is phenomenal, it allows you to immerse yourself in the story as if you were an active participant.

I enthusiastically recommend Rewriting the Stars and The entire Bailey Brothers series to all romcom enthusiasts, and to everyone who loves to enjoy a good book!!!

Voice Enhancement

I’ve read this book, but it went to a different level having voices to go with the main characters. Levi Bailey and Annika Haven…their families have been feuding for over 100 years, but no one knows what started it. This is the final book in the Bailey Brothers series and it ties everything up. We learn the truth about the Montgomery treasure and the feud’s start. Great story with great narrators.

A great ending!

The Bailey Brothers never fail to disappoint! The secret messages and rendezvous because of the family rivalry, pranks of all kind, a mystery that has been in the background of the series finally solved & all kinds of shenanigans! This was such a great way to end the series! All the small town vibes and family moments! Grams and her cryptic but wise advice & her nicknames, the brothers and their antics and all the wives and kids made it so fun! Thomas, Annikas kid, was also a great addition!

I initially read this when it released, and it was just as good the second time around! The narrators were also great!
