This story pulled me in from the start as the MC's were very endearing and had their flaws. Despite the flaws they try to be their best selves and think of other people and their responsibilities. Maybe even a bit too much.

Leslie and Ty have great chemistry and their past online (sex) life helps them rediscover each other in real life and outside of their fantasies.

I did not know what I was expecting when starting to read this book but it definitely went above and beyond to fullfil my expectations. Next to the sexy times, and there were plenty some, there was also great dialogue, internal monologue and great scenes with side characters.

It's part of a series and this is book two but can be read as a standalone as I have not read part 1 myself and had to problems following the story.

An ARC was provided to me via Netgalley in return of an honest review.

The story was an interesting concept, so it drew my attention to this book. The two main characters were ok enough but I found myself getting a little bored and skipping ahead. Not because there was anything wrong with the storytelling, it was just plot-wise not much happened to keep my attention all the way through.

I do want to call out that having a nonbinary character in Ty was a nice change of pace. I don't think there is enough books with nonbinary leads.

There is also a little bit of "kink" but I'd categorize it as more beginner kink, because it's literally a beginner wanting to add in some kink into her sex life for the first time.

Overall not a bad story just not really enough conflict/growth of characters/interesting world...etc. for me to rate it any higher.

Very interesting story. It is certainly full of a variety of elements. Anonymous online sex activity, horses and horsemanship, non-binary main character, kinky erotic experimental sex, and a 100 mile horse race......whew, that's alot of territory to cover.
And it works and it's an interesting page turner. I learned things about horses and how to handle them. I learned things about non-binary and how to handle them. Things I never considered. Not to mention the wild and kinky sex the two main characters get up to.
The two main characters are warm, sensitive and come with a lot of baggage. But they understand each other and grow together. We watch as their lust grows to need and love.

In Clevenger's latest novel, "Under the Stars with You," we meet Leslie, who is the best friend of Seren from "Over the Moon with You." Although I recommend reading "Over the Moon with You" first, it's not necessary as both books can stand alone. Personally, I enjoy cameos of characters from other books and watching their relationships progress.

Leslie and Ty first meet at an open house where Ty is brought by their cousin for free cookies. Ty develops a small crush on Leslie, who is the real estate agent. It's not until they see each other again at Seren and Paige's farm that Ty learns Leslie's full name and realizes that she is the woman they fell for during an online sex chat. Leslie is initially hesitant once she discovers the truth, but their attraction is too strong to ignore. They hook up and slowly get to know each other in real life.

Clevenger leaves the interactions online quite vague, allowing the reader to imagine what kind of kink they may have gotten into, only alluding to certain things along the way. The romance is woven through Leslie's introduction to Ty's world of horses. Leslie has always loved animals, but a fear of them was instilled in her from an early age. Ty's mission is to open Leslie's heart to how gentle and loving horses can be. As a non-binary person, Ty's experiences play a significant role in their character development and are portrayed in a way that allows the reader to understand why Ty acts or reacts in certain situations.

To me, it seems that Clevenger is expressing how important human connection is, but also how the bond that can occur between a horse and its person can be just as intense and fulfilling. The story is deeply touching and has its steamy moments, but the low angst keeps it flowing and light. It's a great book that shouldn’t be missed.

I received an ARC from Bella Books via NetGalley for my honest review.

Ty Sutherland is a first year veterinarian student looking to find comfort as they explore their true self. Leslie Brandt, successful realtor, looking to get her freak on. Both women sign-up for an online sex group and by circumstances beyond their control, they meet in person. Well, Ty's cousin Zoe wants a cookie and the open house next door is providing fresh baked ones and Leslie is the realtor. As Leslie and Ty try and figure out what they want to do next, Zoe is preparing for Tevis, an endurance race and Ty is her crew boss. All the horse talk and nonbinary sexual gratification was very well written and I learned quite alot which in my opinion is a good thing. It is one of the reasons I read. Enjoyable read.

I was happy to see the MC’s Page and Seren from Over the Moon with You in this one. Ty and Leslie both dropped out of a anonymous online sex chat when things between them got to be too much when Ty wanted to find out who his woman was. Ty is a 1st year vet student and Leslie is a successful Real Estate agent. There is an open house next door and Ty’s cousin Zoe wants to go so Ty tags along. Ty meets the Leslie and realizes who she is and can’t wait to get out of the house. Seren and Leslie have been nest friends forever so when Page’s Mom is in the hospital, she asks Leslie to take care of the baby. Page asks Ty to take care of the farm while their gone so Ty and Leslie meet again, Working the farm together they get to know each other and start a friendship until Ty can’t lie to Seren anymore and tells her who she is. The memories of what they did online brings them closer, and they start living out their fantasies. Leslie finds out Ty is Trans and that intrigues her. Jamie Clevenger writes good intimacy scenes. The scenes were hot and chemistry off the charts but always very attentive to Ty’s wants, needs and boundaries as a Trans guy. Excellent read.

So much happening in this book. Horses, on-line Sex, two MC's each dealing with their own personal issues. The story is beautifully told by author Jaime Clevenger. It's a slow burn, interesting meet of the MC's with a chemistry you can feel. Enjoy the horse riding and the ride of the MC's as they both open their hearts.

"Under the Stars with You" by Jaime Clevenger is a romance story 9f two women who fall in love while working together at a summer camp. The story arc is engaging and vivid, allowing readers to fully immerse themselves in the world she has created. The characters are well-developed, and their chemistry is palpable, making it easy for readers to root for them. This is an emotional read and had me hooked from page one (definitely lost some sleep reading into the wee hours of the night).

One of the strengths of the book is the way the author portrays the setting. The author's attention to detail makes it easy to 'feel' the setting and become fully immersed in the story and engaged with the MCs-again see note above on my lack of sleep <smile>. The summer camp was a beautiful backdrop for the story and took me back to my camping days.

Overall, the story is a compelling and beautifully written romance novel that had me drawn in from the first page.. If you enjoy down to earth characters, an environment that makes you want to be there and romance with a HEA, this story is worth the read..

This was an excellent read. I enjoyed Leslie and Ty communicated with each other. They had mad chemistry. The love scenes were very steamy. I was nice to read a well written book with a trans main character. Well done, I recommend getting a copy. 4.5 stars.



Thank you, Bella Books, and NetGalley for this ARC.

Leslie and Ty met each other online and had a relationship of sorts. Now when they meet in real life they have to reconcile with what has already passed between them and whether they can move beyond what they had online and build a true relationship.

Now this was a really interesting place to start the story from, the main characters had already had a deep emotional connection while they were online and had in “theory” already done the hot and heavy ☺️. The first part of the book had me curious about how they would find out about each other and proved to be really fun and interesting.
These charachters are not without their issues and so even though there’s a lot to unpack for the MCs about their feelings, Clevenger does a really good job moving the story along with some really humorous story telling to keep it light.

I loved Ty’s character being non-binary and the sensitivity through which their backstory is revealed was really well done. This is set in the same world as “Over the Moon with You” and it was nice to see Paige and Seren make an appearance.

As usual Clevenger never disappoints in the 🔥🔥🔥 department and with the simmering tension between the two MCs, there is a release valve in the second half of the book.

Overall this was a relatively low angst read and with various sub plots / story arcs, really made for an enjoyable read.

Under the Stars With You is another excellent, must read novel by Jaime Clevenger. Of course, we can say that for all of the author’s works, but this one is really special.

One of the most important elements of this story is the character development. Both Leslie and Ty are very human…very real. They are good people, but aren’t perfect. They have problems, fears, and quirks just like all of us do. Ty is a nonbinary character, and I admire how Ms. Clevenger has treated them in the tale.

The story of how these two meet and eventually fall in love is quite intriguing as well as a bit unusual. The sex/love scenes are hot, but again, I expect nothing less from this author.

The setting and some of the characters seemed familiar to me, and it didn’t take me long to realize this story is in the same universe as Ms. Clevenger’s novel, Over the Moon With You. In fact, Paige and Seren, the main characters in that book are two important secondary characters in this one. One of the main settings in this novel is the farm that Paige and Seren bought at the end of their tale. Don’t worry though. Both of these books can easily be read as standalone novels.

I really enjoyed reading Under the Stars With You. It gave me the chance to catch up with a couple I’d loved in another book and fall for a new couple in this one.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Bella Books for an honest review.

I enjoyed Under the Stars with You by Jaime Clevenger. Both main characters Ty and Leslie are well fleshed out and you can't help rooting for their relationship. I would recommend.

Under the stars is another well-written novel by Jaime Clevenger. This story follows two main characters who meet on an online sex chat group, but are brought together again later on, and both are still very attracted to one another. This book is full of sparks and feelings which are pouring out of the characters. Although it's a fantastic storyline, full of love, it does touches on subjects such as trust issues, body image issues and anxiety and depressive disorders.

All in all, a very entertaining read, I look forward to more books by Jaime Clevenger.

4 out of 5.

Jaime Clevenger is one of my favourite authors lately for their rare talent mixing believable and steaming hot erotica with sweet, romantic storylines and well developed characters. I really enjoyed the chemistry and communication between the two leads. Not being a fan of too much angst or flashbacks, I was relieved to find the book was focused on the present without any unnecessary drama thrown in for the sake of it. And it was great to see a non binary lead represented well - please give us more of that Jaime Clevenger! Looking forward to this author’s next book.

Good story. The relationship between Leslie and Th was really great. There's not a lot of drama in this story, so their relationship was mostly angst free. I liked how the author integrated horses into the story. I'd never heard of endurance horse racing before reading this book. Each woman had their own personal experience with a special horse in this story. The support characters were very well written and helped to make this an even better story. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and I look forward to what's next from this author.

When Ty Sutherland and Leslie Brandt joined an online sex chat group, neither thought the chances of meeting in real life were slim, right. But when things got a little heated for the pair they decided to meet up in a private phone call things got a little out of hand. Not thinking Leslie called using her own phone her phone number would show on Ty’s phone. Leslie, for some reason, blamed Ty for the mistake.
Now Leslie, a realtor, was getting a house to show, not knowing it was in Ty’s neighbor. It’s not until Ty goes with their cousin Zoe, mainly to get free cookies, to view the house. Leslie doesn’t realize Ty was her online lover.
Leslie would like to be in a relationship but Ty doesn’t want anything like that. She’s too busy for romance, besides they didn’t know the first thing about relationships or romance. Through a series of misunderstandings and many hoops to jump through they think they might be able to become friends but????
With lots of action this turned into a pretty good read. Characters, both main and supporting cast were each given a fair share of the plot making this a very enjoyable read.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s my first from this author but I will definitely be checking out the other book in this series. They are set in the same place and have recurring characters but each book focuses on a different couple. The descriptions were beautifully done and I felt like I was there with them. I also adored the horsey element, especially the endurance side. Definitely recommend if you are an animal lover.

Ty and Leslie are both such lovable characters and they both felt extremely human and well rounded. It’s a cute romance with some added spice. However, the vulnerability of the two made it so much deeper and it was so nice to see a couple that actually communicated. I loved the healing element of both horse and human. I also really liked the diverse representation, especially with regards to mental health issues. I’m going to need a book with Zoe now though because I love her character so much.

I'm always surprised with Jaime Clevenger's skill to write sweet romances that pack the heat. Under the Stars with You fits this to a tee. Jaime Clevenger is definitely one of my favourite authors as they write great characters and their books always features sizzling chemistry. Under the Stars with You definitely brought both elements, but I particularly enjoyed the relationship development between Ty and Leslie due to both characters fragility. Leslie feels as though she has a lot of faults, and Ty is non-binary and worried about being fully accepted in their romantic relationships. The way they worked together to make their relationship work was lovely to read, and I enjoyed learning more about horses and endurance racing.

Another great novel by Jaime Clevenger.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Bella Books for a copy of this novel. ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

Hot riding under the stars
Jaime Clevenger, a veterinarian herself, has obviously vowed to bring us hot stories right from the barn and Under The Stars With You is steaming hot. Although there are a lot of hot scenes in this romance there is a lot of slow burn as well - at least at the start - and a lot of vulnerability shown by both main characters. I loved the second chance vibe because before meeting in reality both main characters met online - this is a fun twist on the trope.
The vulnerability and healing is where this story goes deeper than just hot and steamy: Ty, a veterinary student, is nonbinary, androgynous with a strong emphasis on the „andro“-part and even after top-surgery struggles to accept herself and her body. The mega-successful Leslie has their own issues going on. It takes time with each other and the horses which play a major role to start some healing and opening them up to more than sex.
About those horses: They are stabled at a barn where both characters meet accidentally and we get quite a lot of lovely scenes with horses where the wounded skittish horse is bonding at the same time that the humans involved are building up trust as well. I esp. loved the vivid descriptions of the landscape and woods evoked by the author.
For those who read „Over The Moon With You“ which brought to us the story of Seren and Paige - the barn mentioned above is set on their farm and we get to meet them again in quite a few scenes. Zoe is another lovely secondary character who shows us the power of healing brought about by interacting with horses.
If you are willing to go along with the flow and those horses there is a complex and at the same time hot romance waiting for you.

Ty and Leslie meet in an online chat group and have an intense connection. Things go array when Leslie’s identity is revealed. She freaks and cuts off contact. Feelings had developed for both so it was difficult for both to deal with.

The two meet in real life and that connection is just as strong but they both have issues that they need to work through if they’re going to make a relationship work.

This was an enjoyable read. I like both Ty and Leslie. Ty is nonbinary and hasn’t had the easiest time and isn’t fully comfortable with themselves physically. Leslie is an Uber focused realtor who hasn’t had much of a life lately. They come into each orders lives at the right time and the chemistry between the two is smokin!
