Angel Daniels grew up hard, one step ahead of the law and always looking over his shoulder. A grifter's son, he'd learned every con and trick in the book but ached for a normal life. Once out on his own, Angel returns to Half Moon Bay where he once found...and then lost...love.

Now, Angel's life is a frantic mess of schedules and chaos. Between running his bakery and raising his troubled 11-year-old half-brother, Roman, Angel has a hectic but happy life. Then West Harris returns to Half Moon Bay and threatens to break Angel all over again by taking away the only home he and Roman ever had.

When they were young, Angel taught West how to love and laugh, but when Angel moved on, West locked his heart up and threw away the key. Older and hardened, West returns to Half Moon Bay and finds himself face-to-face with the man he'd lost. Now West is torn between killing Angel or holding him tight.

But rekindling their passionate relationship is jeopardized as someone wants one or both of them dead, and as the terrifying danger mounts, neither man knows if the menace will bring them together or forever tear them apart.

Overall

Performance

Story

Would you consider the audio edition of Hanging the Stars to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version, but I think Greg Tremblay brings life to the words.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Angel. I loved the fact that though he had a shady past, he admits to still having the urge to do the things he was taught as a child though he resists. I like his honesty, integrity and that he is trying to give his brother a better life than he had.

Which character – as performed by Greg Tremblay – was your favorite?

I liked the all equally. Greg Tremblay makes each character stand out, gives them the personality they deserve and makes them easily discernable.He makes me fall in love with every good character he portrays or hate each bad guy. Plus he makes the children fun and part of the story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes and I did.

Any additional comments?

Hanging the Stars is book two in the Half Moon Bay series but stand alone fine. When I first started listening, I thought it sounded a lot like Fish Stick Friday the first book because Angel s a young man that has had a rough past and is now starting a business and raising his young brother. He also has people shooting at him.

Then West showed up, and I was all happy since I was wondering what his story would be. I am a sucker for second chances, and in the case, it's not only Angel proving himself (second chance at life) but a second chance at love with West.

There is a lot of drama, some mystery, and Roman adds enough humor to lighten the story. Of course, we have some hot sex with Angel and West as well.

Hanging the Stars is hard to put down once you start, charming, and a great feel-good romance to fill your afternoon or evening.

Most days she can be found swearing at her laptop and trying to come up with new ways to kill off perfectly good random characters. Rhys Ford was born and raised in Hawai’i then wandered off to see the world. After chewing through a pile of books, a lot of odd food, and a stray boyfriend or two, Rhys eventually landed in San Diego, which is a very nice place but seriously needs more rain. Rhys admits to sharing the house with cats of varying degrees of black fur, and a ginger cairn terrorist. Rhys is also enslaved to the upkeep a 1979 Pontiac Firebird, a Toshiba laptop, and a red Hamilton Beach coffee maker.
