My life is perfect. I have money, power, good looks and countless women ready to do anything to get their hands on me, and my rather large package. My business brings in billions every year and my airline has the fastest airplanes in the world. In short, I have everything a man can dream of. Or so I thought until I met Estelle Klide.
The second I saw her, I decided to make her mine.
Her body was sinfully sexy. She had amazing, mesmerizing indigo eyes. Her sweet scent was the epitome of temptation and evoked images of wild, animalistic sex in my mind.
I couldn’t help but fall for her – hard. Letting her slip through my fingers was not an option. In involving myself with her, I entered waters I’d never thought I’d have to swim in. I set off on a journey filled with mystery, fear and a lot of love.
The only thing that threatened to ruin this paradise and destroy everything, was her ex-husband, who turned out to be a real monster.

This is a special, sexy and wonderfully written novel which takes place in the FUTURE ! It's not a genre I usually read but it is as romantic, passionate and engrossing as any other genre that I am drawn to. Sharlyn G. Branson is a new author for me and Between Clouds and Stars is the first but certainly not last novel I will read by her.
I was pulled into the story of two people trying to achieve their HEAs.
A story about a Alpha Billionaire who has it all and a woman trying to escape her troubled and abusive past. Nick has it all, money, power and any woman he wants. Estelle has had a rough, tough life since childhood she has been dealing with one form of a monster or another. After finally getting her life in the right direction she meets a man that will either break her heart for good or at last put her fractured soul back to together.
An opportunity arises where these two will finally been able to test the murky waters of love and passion, but what happens when the past makes a unwanted appearance, self doubts starts seeping in and danger is around the corner ? Will Nick finally be able to make the woman who has stolen his heart his or are they destined to have only a few stolen moments in time?
An exciting, fresh, steamy fast paced read that will make you wish for your own version of Nicholas Frey.
There is something about this book that feels very genuine and heartfelt and the flow of the writing makes it easy and enjoyable to read.
Estelle Klide has not had an easy life. After losing both parents in an accident and being taken in by a family with no concern for her well-being, she is forced into a marriage that ends in disaster. Two years later, Estelle has managed to put herself back together and move forward with her life, while continuing to fear that her past may catch back up with her.
Nick Frey has everything a man could want; success, power, money and looks. The only thing left for him to claim is Estelle Klide. After setting his sights on her, Nick will stop at nothing to possess Estelle and when the opportunity arises for her to travel with him under the guise of being his girlfriend; he knows this may be his only chance to win her heart.
As their “relationship” progresses, Estelle starts to fall for Nick and has to wonder if it’s all part of his act. Could a man like him truly fall for a woman like her and what will happen when her past pushes its way back into her present?
This stand-alone romance is a sexy read filled with excitement and passion. I would highly recommend this book to romance readers.
You got flying cars and robots!! Need I say more?!?!
Nick Frey is filthy rich, powerful, charming good looks and endless women he desire. But the only thing that money and power can buy is Estelle Klide. After their first encounter, Nick will stop at nothing to get Estelle.
Estelle had tough life growing up. After losing both parents in an accident and she was taken in by a family who didn't care enough for her. They forced her into an unwanted marriage that ends up in a disaster. Estelle has sort herself and moved on with her life. But she got that nagging feeling that her past may catch back up with her. Then stumbled upon a charming Prince.
She starts to fall for Nick but her insecurities makes her wonder if Nick's feelings are true or just fraud?? Hmmmm.........
I had no idea what I was getting when I started. I heard it was set in the future and a little wary. But to my surprise I loved this story. I didn't know if there would be some kind of supernatural in it, thank goodness there wasn't. There was really fast planes, flying cars, robots and no STD's anymore.
Nick and Estelle fall for each other at first site. Even if Estelle is scared to love after her terrifying past. Nick is a player and he thought he would never settle down. These two are really sweet together. Only thing is will their past keep them apart or will they fight for each other? This was a great read that I enjoyed.
"Together we’ll overcome every obstacle. With you, I feel like I’m flying through the clouds and stars."
Sharlyn G. Branson is such an awesome person! I'm fan of her books and I appreciate the opportunity to review Between Clouds and Stars. Alpha billion-check, happy ever after-check, drama-check, robots and flying cars - oh wow! Every time I thought this story was going in one direction something unexpected was introduced into the story. So many moments my mouth was left wide open and I thought to myself how I didn't see that coming.
I'm looking forward to reading whatever she writes next!
A must read!! This book takes place in the future where there are robots and flying cars which is pretty cool. A young woman who has had a tragic life of hurt and pain finally finds out what the real meaning of true love is. Sharlyn keeps you guessing as to what's about to happen in the story which kept me wanting more. Be prepared for an emotional roller-coaster and some great sex scenes. It is also a HEA standalone which I have been enjoying. Must read!!
A great read! This book captivated me from the first chapter...I could not put it down! It is set in the future, but so well written that you feel you are there! A beautiful love story with a wonderful ending. Great work, Sharlyn Branson. Can't wait to read more of your stories in the future!
An absolute brilliant read Sharlyn... Loved every bit of Estelle's & Nick's story... It was crazy hot, chemistry was through the roof.. Loved the ending!!
I love this book!!! It was a emotional rollercoaster!! Nick Frey is my new book boyfriend and I love him!! I was so happy that Estelle and Nick finally got the happily ever after they deserved.
I am once again very happy that I got to read another one of Sharlyn's books she is amazing. I loved this book I look forward to reading more of her books.
All I can say about Between Stars and Clouds is "WOW!! This book is HOT, SEXY and you MUST read it!!"
I was captivated from the start and it only got better and better from there! This well written and futuristic novel is not my first Sharlyn Branson read, having read her Limits of Destiny series (highly recommended!!) and it definitely won't be the last!! I fell head over heels in love with Nicholas Frey...gorgeous, hot, Alpha-billionaire who knows exactly what he wants!! And he wants Estelle Klide!
Estelle has had a very difficult life, to put it mildly! She was left an orphan after losing both parents in a horrific accident, was adopted and abused by two horrible people and eventually forced into marrying a man who physically and emotionally very nearly destroys her! How she survives and ends up thriving is an incredible journey that will stay with me for a long time to come!
The chemistry between Nick and Estelle is off-the-charts HOT...the drama and suspense, the unique setting and the intense emotions made this roller coaster ride of a romance well worth the time spent reading! I couldn't put it down....thank you Sharlyn for a very different but thoroughly enjoyable book. I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it to everyone!!

“You and I make a great team. Together we’ll overcome every obstacle. With you, I feel like I’m flying through the clouds and stars. It’s wonderful, babe…I’ve never felt like that with any other woman. You know how much I love flying, and you make me feel like I have wings. I wouldn’t replace you with anyone else.”
Squeee.... 5 Beautiful Stars!
First of all this is my first time to read a book that sets in future. So I'm just amaze how things are different in this story. Its like your falling in love while reading harry potter! Sometimes I just forget that this book is in the future, but then I read robots and flying cars and its just wow! I love how the author incorporate those amazing characters like Ben which is the romantic robot of Nick!
I think I'm in love with Nicholas Frey, can I have him? Haha... I love how he is the alpha billionaire but when it comes to Estelle, there's this very special spot just for her.
Is it OK to have a sequel for this book! I just love more, I want more from this characters maybe a story when they have another baby! Haha...
This book will definitely takes you in a fantastical place while falling in love all over again. If your a fan of instalove and an alpha billionaire, then this book is for you.
This is my sixth book by the author. I fell head over heels for her Limits of Destiny series and jumped at the chance to review this one.
Between Clouds and Stars is a bit different than her previous books, this one takes place in the future, 2046-2048, which is usually not even close to something I would choose to read but having read this author I had to give it a shot. Nick's rich, cocky, in control and used to getting what he wants. What he wants is his new employee Estelle. Little does he know this woman will change his life. For a man who has everything, a woman to love is the icing on the cake, but when someone threatens what's his will this be the one thing he doesn't have control over?
In a world of lifelike robots and planes that can get from the US to the UK in 30 minutes, I wasn't quite sure this was going to be a book for me but it's more of a love story with a dash of the futuristic lifestyle which worked out perfectly for me. If I was ever going to read a futuristic book I'm glad this was it, Nick's love for Estelle is so pure and honest, he's an amazing character as is Estelle. She's strong, having overcome a terrible childhood and horrific marriage, she manages to pick herself up and move on and still find a way to open her heart to Nick. 4 stars.

I loved this book. But if you not a fan of insta love or insta lust then don't read it.
This book was set in the future. And it was so cool to read about maid robots and flying cars. Nicholas Frey was the ultimate alpha rich playboy. Until he met Estelle Klide
Estelle had a rough life and she was finally getting back to normal until she saw Nicholas and she wanted him!
This book was so a sweet insta love book that was just what I needed after my previous emotional read. This book was about a heroine who had a hard life and was finally going to get her happily ever after. And a hero who saw a women that was made for him and all he wanted was to make her happy!
What a nice sweet (and quick) romance. Estelle catches Nick's eye and he immediately pursues her. A fake arrangement quickly progresses into the real deal. But Estelle has secrets she's not quite ready to reveal to Nick. She is caught up in his romancing her. She's never been treated the way he treats her. Will this last much longer? Can she trust again? Can she share her secrets? Can they find a forever? I loved how this had a futuristic storyline. The characters were so lovable. The story was well written and the overall feel was comforting. A nice romance!
Holy Batman! I think that my kindle melted from the shear hotness within the pages of this book. Between Clouds and Stars has it all - an office romance, intense chemistry between characters, and a fair amount of action. I am not usually one for futuristic-type novels, but this one was well done. Taking place in 2048, it featured some futuristic elements, but it was not over the top.
Told from a dual POV, I enjoyed getting a peak into the minds of both Estelle and Nick. Estelle is a strong heroine. She had a rough childhood and endured a rather volatile marriage, but she is a survivor. I love how resilient she is. One would expect her to be jaded on the matters of love, but Nick breaks down those walls and she wonders if she can share her secrets with him. Nick is my favorite type of billionaire - a deliciously hot alpha who oozes confidence, but also has a huge heart for his family and Estelle. It starts off as insta-lust for him, but his feelings evolve into something more. To say that these two have a strong attraction towards each other is an understatement. Sparks fly between these two. This is not just a romance book as it contained a certain level of action and suspense thrown into the mix, which I thought really added to the plot. My only complaint was that there were a few explanations for events that I thought were missing.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book with it’s entertaining storyline, likable characters, and moments of suspense. I received and complimentary version of this book.
Let me start by saying this is not the type of genre I usually read. I love this author and have read many of her books and thought well if I'm going to give it a try I might as well give it a try with her. And I was not disappointed this is amazing book full of real emotion love and all that sexiness that you come to expect with this author. To say Estelle had it hard would be an understatement and all Nick loves to do is fly he just never knew a woman could make him feel that way that is until Estelle. This book is set in the future but the author creates such and amazing world and the way she delivers it truly puts you there. This book will suck you I mind heart and soul and you will NEVER want to leave the future!! This is a great read for any romance lover even if sci-fi is not your thing!! Amazing amazing amazing
Estelle wants to be loved but with her hard childhood & past relationship... She is not sure wants to put her heart out there again. Nicholas is man with lots of money, good looks & all the women he could ever want. Neither one of them wanted that to change till they laid eyes on each. Ever wonder want the future will be like well Clouds and Stars will take you there. You will go Awwwww through the whole book. Just a perfect future.... love, babies & yummy loving! How can you go wrong!! A really enjoyed this book. Glad I got the chance to read it.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review and I have to say this is an new author to me and I feel in love with it from page one until the last page this book brought out a lot of emotions in me and I know that what happens in this book happens everyday the storyline and charcters are awesome. Sharlyn G. Branson is a very amazing writer and her style of writing is so wonderful she is not on my list to read more of her books. Thank you so much for giving me this amazing opportunity to read and review your book. I gave this book five stars.
Estelle is a young woman raised by unloving step parents then married to an abusive husband. He goes to jail and she restarts her life. She meets Nicholas Frey and her life is turned around. Set in the future where there are super fast airplanes,flying cars and robot maids. Sharrlyn Branson does it again with this thrilling spicy book that takes you away. Recamend.
Nick is quite the cocky man, "he smiled smugly and replied, “I promise to leave you very satisfied.” I liked this book, Nick knew when to take charge, when to make his woman feel cherished and loved he was a great guy.
This is an amazing book. Nick is a rich business man who takes an interest in Estelle an employee of his. Estelle has endured a lot in her life but has survived. You get to see their relationship grow and find out if they live happily ever after or not. I recommend this book.
The love story between Nick and Estel is stunning, sweet and overhealming. Highly recommended to all readers who love insta-love, hot chemistry, hot sex scenes and HEA.
Wow!!!!! Sharlyn once again you did it... I thought Destiny series was amazing... But this book left me speechless.. I loved it from beginning to end. Angie E.
This book gave me all kinds of feels and pull at the heart strings. I laughed, I cried, I got sad and I wanted more! I absolutely loved it!
It’s kept me up half night reading. I’ve been a wake since 4.00, finishing it. I’m still filtering through this fantastic story. You feel like you are right there watching a movie right in front of you.
Nick is one of my favorite characters. He is a real alpha male. I’m in love.
“I inhaled deeply, her sweet scent filling my lungs.
I wanted her just for me. This was...the naked truth.
I knew I was being extremely selfish, but the heart wants what it wants. Period.
I had to make her mine! “
The chemistry between H and h is so strong, you couldn’t breathe:
Nick: I prompted her, leaning toward her to meet her eyes. She had smooth tight skin, a small nose, and perfectly shaped lips that I wanted to kiss. I wondered whether she tasted as sweet as I thought. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. A thin vein in her neck started to throb. The sexual attraction between us was too tangible to be able to hide it. And I didn’t think she was trying to hide it anyway.
Estelle: My eyes traced the perfect curve of his lips, slowly moving upward to meet his gaze. Thirst and desire flashed across his beautiful brown irises, which were covered in golden specks, making the butterflies in my stomach flutter again. “Don’t bite that lip, or I’ll be the one to bite it next.” His low, deep, and slightly croaky voice vibrated through me. “That reminds me, we need to practice kissing if you agree to accompany me and pretend to be my girlfriend.” He leaned over me, his warm, minty breath stroking my face.
I highly recommended this book to all girls. It was an amazing rollercoaster.
