But after a family altercation, Drew is forced to drop out of college and decides to enlist.
When Drew is severely injured in Iraq, and refuses to contact Marielle, not wanting to burden her with his injuries, will their love survive??more
The title is imaginative, and the love story — sweet. It brings together two wonderful characters — Vocalist Marielle McKinnon and composer Drew Kendall — who met a few years before at Dragonfly Point. Drew has lost his mother and suffered under the thumb of his step-mother, so we root for him to find solace in love. He and Marielle seem to be destined for it, and what better time to fall under its spell than when a strawberry moon is shining.
“Drew slipped an arm around her shoulder, and turning, he laid his mouth gently against hers. And this time, she did respond, although rather hesitantly at first.” The descriptions of their musical background and performances are authentic, which makes the characters real.
A lvd story would not be complete without its obstacles… “ Marielle hadn’t heard from Drew in months. She couldn’t understand it. One week, he’d managed to ge throughout o her via satellite imaging, and then not a single word from him since.” When he is injured in Iraq, he refuses to tell her, not wanting to burden her with his injuries.
Will love overcome this hurdle? Will the magic of a strawberry moon shine on?
Five stars.
A Kiss Beneath the Strawberry Moon is a sweet story about first love set against a delightful backdrop of musical performances. I loved this background because my daughter, like the main character, Marielle, also is a sublime singer. All of the descriptions of practices, performances, etc. was very realistic and brought me back to that time in our life. ;o)
A quick read, this book not only tenderly treats young love with insight and understanding, but it gives hope about the morality of some young men. Marielle’s love, Drew, is an upstanding young man who has suffered greatly through the loss of his mother and the horrible appearance of his new step-mother. He escapes that trauma by living in a cottage on a lake (I want to live there!) and yet when he meets Marielle, he is kind and understanding and always does what is right for her. I loved that and secretly wished my daughters could find a man like Drew.
I don’t want to spoil the story, so I’ll just allude to the fact that this story is linked in location and a sub theme to the Wounded Warriors series. Marielle and Drew’s love is tested by terrible circumstances, but thankfully Ms. Ferguson doesn’t disappoint, and gives us all the happily ever after ending we crave.
This book is appropriate for young adults and teens and has no graphic sex or violence. Another plus! Great job, Tamara Ferguson.

Fish this story was sweet. Like the perfect sun sweet tea my grandma made. You can’t read this story and not feel that little bloom of hope. You get so many emotions through every page that you feel like you’re apart of the story. That their lives effortlessly entwine with yours. This story takes you on a ride that many young adults face. Where you see your life going one way and reality steps in and sends you to place you never saw coming. Drew and Marielle story will touch your heart in so many ways. I couldn’t believe how good this story was. It was a quick read that will last a lifetime. I wish it was longer but I definitely got my daily dose of feels. I don’t think I would be as strong as these two characters with all they go through. I found Marielle to be strong and interestingly unique. Drew is headstrong and brave. Definitely check out this book well worth it.
A KISS BENEATH A STRAWBERRY MOON (Daydreams & Dragonflies Rock ‘N Sweet Romance 3) By Tamara Ferguson – Review by Makaela Patterson
This book gives you the Nostalgic feeling of your first love. This was a pretty fast read, but very well written. guides you into the heart of the book. The storyline of the characters was excellent; the plot is filled with romance and pain. Throughout the book as I read it the question that came to mind is love enough to pull you through anything. One of the messages I felt was just live life unapologetically and love. What I really loved about the book was the backdrop of music and how they both had passion and love for music. It just guided their love story. I don’t feel happy fairytale love stories. No, it has a lot of realness but is written with a magical twist. I really enjoyed this book.
This book is a beautiful story about a singer Drew Kendall and a violinist star Marrielle McKinnon whose stories come together as one after sharing a kiss under the strawberry moon. Their future seems perfect but they’re headed in two different directions as she’s headed for the moon in Hollywood as he’s finishing his education but going into teaching.
After getting into it with his family, Drew’s plans change drastically as he has to drop out of college and heads to the army instead. After being injured, he doesn’t want to turn to Marrielle, afraid he’d burden her but can their love survive?
What I love about this story is it gives you hope for what love can be despite difficult terrains, twists and turns. I love how the characters find their way back to one another and find love in the darkest of times. It makes you believe if you’re not already personally attached in real life in love again and it’s worth it. This book shows the innocence of what love can be. Great read!
I fell in love with this book! I love the characters and the writing style. you could follow the story with no trouble and I couldn’t put it down. Really draws on real-life situations and feelings. Marielle McKinnon is such a sweet girl that is so beautiful and talented and doesn’t even know it. Drew Kendall is a talented and handsome young man, both attend the Music camp. Want to know more?? Get the book it’s a must-read that will have you turning the pages to see what happens next. I look forward to reading more from Tamara Ferguson!
A Kiss Beneath a Strawberry Moon is the 3rd book in the Daydreams & Dragonflies series by Tamara Ferguson. It is a sweet romance, like most of her novels. I love reading them because they are quick and provide the warm fuzzies, but I felt this one ended too abruptly. This book follows the story of Marielle and Drew, and their love at first sight. Marielle is a singer, and Drew is a composer, both attending a musical summer camp. It would seem things would work out perfectly, but they came from different worlds. Marielle is a rising star, about to embark on a wonderful adventure. Drew is torn between going to college like his father wants, and chasing his dream of composing. After a falling out with his dad, Drew enlists in the military and is gone for years, while Marielle goes on tour. They are torn apart by the circumstances, and while I was happy with the ending, it was too soon. I wanted more details and for the story to continue.
This was a sweet, quick read. I really liked Marielle and Drew. This is 3rd in the series and i didn’t feel lost but i will go back and read the first two as this was a great story.
They’re both attending music camp in one capacity or another, and they didn’t hit it off right away and later learn it was due to nerves of attraction.
As we move along in their lives, Drew goes to war and is injured and drops contact. But Marielle isn’t taking silence as an answer.
These two were great and I felt i could be friends with everyone in this story.

A lovely heartwarming sweet romance by Tamara Ferguson, “Vocalist Marielle McKinnon and composer Drew Kendall find love one magical summer after a Kiss Beneath A Strawberry Moon”
Set in Dragonfly Pointe, the future for Marielle and Drew is full of promise having met and fallen in love over the summer however their plans change when Drew has to drop out of college due to family problems and decides to enlist. Sadly Drew gets injured whilst on active duty and not wanting to be a burden on Marielle refuses to contact her which leaves Marielle thinking he has forgotten about her, will their love survive? No spoilers, but the book does have a happy ending as Tamara’s books tend to have.
I loved this story and fell in love with the main characters and found the problems they had to face were very realistic. The author always fills her books full of details which makes you feel like your there with the characters. I could not put this book down and found it was a lovely romantic read.
This is a beautiful love story about 2 kids who meet in a music camp and fall in love.
Both Marielle and Drew have experienced loss in their lives but they share a passion for music.
After meeting their lives take different turns. Marielle’s music career takes off and shes on her way to stardom, whereas an arguement between Drew and his father means he has to leave his studies and join the Air Force.
There are loads of obstacles in their path to each other. Can their love get them through all the challenges.
A Kiss Beneath A Strawberry Moon by Tamara Ferguson was so good, and super sweet! It wasn’t at all what I was expecting to read after reading the synopsis, but I wasn’t disappointed! It was better than I originally thought it was going to be. It was a super quick read as well, the novel isn’t long at all. I got swept up in Marielle and Drew’s whirlwind romance throughout the span of 6 very quick years. I couldn’t put it down at all until I finished it. This is the first story I’ve read by Ferguson and I can’t wait to read more!

Watching their relationship bloom as teens was beautiful. I loved how they were so open and also how much talent they had. This was a beautiful short read. I love that it took place around Crystal Rock and the small town. Thus is a common setting in Ferguson’s books. Such a good read!
A Kiss Beneath A Strawberry Moon is a wonderful sweet romance story by Tamara Ferguson. My usual genre is romance that is a bit more dirty but I have really become a fan of Tamara Ferguson’s sweet romances set in Dragonfly Pointe.
