About this audiobook
Hollywood actress Atlanta Stone has always been regarded as a vain, out-of-control party girl, and she's more than happy to play that part. However, when she's assigned a bodyguard after surviving a near-fatal robbery, she finds herself chafing against the sudden loss of her independence — the damsel-in-distress role has never been her style.
And close protection officer Beck Harris isn't too fond of her new charge, either. As a bodyguard to celebrities, Beck has spent years perfecting her cool composure around the rich and famous, but when forced to handle a wily, superficial actress intent on pushing her boundaries, her professionalism is pushed to its limits.
Their clashing lifestyles and temperaments take a back seat when a string of attacks on Atlanta suggests that she has become more than a victim of a botched robbery — now she's a target, and if Beck can't figure out who's behind it, they'll never get the chance to see who they are behind the masks they've perfected.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was ok but not more than that. The story line was actually ok but the story could have been so much more!!!!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I did not like it at all tbh, 2 stars because go lesbians, the book was kind of corny
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Whoever is responsible for this audiobook needs to be fired and never do another project again. The writing and story weren’t great but the terrible voice acting didn’t do anything to help. Im truly shocked. How are you going to have a main character being British and get an actor that cant do the accent? So unprofessional
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed this story, it reminded me a lot of one of my fav movies, The Body Guard but it had much more than the film offered. I really liked the two main female characters and really became invested in the story and the pretty good narrator really helped that though on a few occasions, i did find the switch of characters was so abrupt with little difference in tone that it took me awhile to work out who was speaking. Over all, i really enjoyed the book and want more of the same. A series with these two characters would be fantastic and especially with increased length so we can be immersed in their world once again. More Please
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Cute. Didn’t exactly love the writing style tho. The pov just kept switching btw the two MC with out warning. And it would do this like every 3 sentences , so it was hard to follow if your not paying attention. I I also felt like it was to short and their relationship was not fully developed by the near ending. It just lacked the angst that would make me pine for the characters. Idk if it gets better in the last 2 chapters I didn’t read, but at that point I felt underwhelmed. :/
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was short but was well packed.
There were bickering, flirting, angst, and drama.
The story and mystery have good conclusions.
The narrator is also good. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5When I tell you you want to read this one ?
Saving the Star is suspense romance story in which actress Atlanta Stone requires the protection of bodyguard Beck Harris after an armed robbery gone wrong. And it’s super super sapphic ?
I loved it so much and although I read it already, I immediately went and listened to the audiobook ?their banter is making me laugh so much and I just missed them very much ?
So you should go read it now, like right now.1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The narrators awful English accent & pronunciation was a terrible distraction. It was a good little story but I winced every time ‘beck’ had something to say. It definitely took away from my enjoyment of the book. I may look at other books by the same author but if it’s the same narrator I will definitely pass.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I'm literally in awe at how horrendous the narrator's "English" accent was. Actually slightly offended. As someone who sounds like the characters in coronation Street, you CAN'T serve up some bullshit sort of Australian, maybe rp maybe cockney bullshit and expect it to be fine. You couldn't happen to find someone who can actually do an accent to read for a character who has a very specific, clearly outlined accent? I'm gonna go actually read the book, maybe it will be better than the perception the worst possible choice of narrator left me with.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a good short story with a decent whodunit storyline. I did not realize that it was a lesbian romance due to the first name of the H but the story was worth the read and well-written. I kinda wanted to give the h a quick, gentle shake to get her to stop her destructive behavior.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5this book was such a delight because it’s filled with details but just the right amount. not overly so that you get bored of it but so you get to feel like you know the characters, their behavior and their reasoning for their behavior. i loved that this story wasn’t focused specifically on a character coming out but that it just seemed natural that two women had such a great representation of enemies to lovers

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Save your ears. The imitation English accent has to be the worst I’ve ever heard.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5To be honest I just couldn’t get passed the narrators English accent. It was dreadful, straight out of the Dick VanDyke school of linguistics. I’m sure the story was fine, but as the accent in question was one of the main characters it would have been a very long 4 hours. Sorry to be negative but just, no.
