5 stars to Falling Like Stars by Emma Scott!

 


Falling Like Stars by Emma Scott is now live! 


From USA Today and the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Full Tilt comes an emotional romance...


She kept her heart guarded and locked away...until she gave it to the world's biggest movie star.


In the dazzling world of Hollywood where fame and glamour reign supreme, award-winning megastar Zachary Butler longs for something more than red carpet events and paparazzi flashes. As he navigates fame and tries to extricate himself from his celebrity ex-fiancΓ©e, he discovers an unexpected spark with Rowan Walsh, a production assistant on his latest project.

Rowan, haunted by a devastating moment in her past, shields her heart behind walls of guilt, letting no one in. But Zachary's genuine affection and desire for a meaningful life begin to chip away at her defenses. As their connection deepens, Rowan must battle the self-destructive patterns that have held her back from embracing her passions and finding true love, while Zachary must reveal his own hidden scars--wounds he's borne in silence for years--if he hopes to heal.

Can Zachary and Rowan confront their pasts to build a future together, or will the storms of scandal, tangled relationships, and the scrutiny of stardom ruin their hopes for a perfect Hollywood ending?

CHRISTY'S 5 STAR REVIEW


I love Emma Scott’s writing and I missed her words so much. I was thrilled to get to her newest release, Falling Like Stars. Rowan and Zach’s romance was stunning. The romance and watching them fall in love was wonderful, but even better was watching them both heal and grow.

Zachary Butler is the internet’s boyfriend and is quickly turning into Hollywood’s newest leading man after a slew of popular supporting roles. Rowan Walsh is working as a PA in a movie he’s filming.

Zach comes from a wonderful family, but is just now crawling out of an unhealthy relationship with his ex. Rowan’s family is almost non-existent. She’s lost most of the people she’s loved. Her father, her boyfriend, and eventually her mother. Even though Rowan and Zach hit it off right away, Rowan is not one who easily trusts or falls. And for good reason.

What I loved about Rowan and Zach is that they brought out the best in one another. Rowan was supportive of Zach and all he had going on, and Zach was patient with Rowan as she dealt with her grief. This book had sweet moments and moments that made me smile big, but it also was heavy at times and was emotional.

Falling Like Stars pulled on my heartstrings, made me laugh and cry, and was one of the best Hollywood romances I’ve read. I loved the grumpy/sunshine dynamic so much, and honestly everything about this book was great!

Blurb:

What started as a bet can only end in heartache.

 Moving to the middle of nowhere right before my senior year wasn’t ideal.

Then again, neither was my brother dying. 

The move was supposed to be a fresh start. 

A new town, a new school, a new mindset. 

Too bad my past indiscretions followed me.

Enter Jace Rivera, the literal boy next door. 

Jace is loved by the town. Admired by his peers. Worshipped by his teammates. 

On the basketball court, he’s a god amongst men.

Off the court, he’s… nothing at all like I expected. 

He’s profound and pure and… devastatingly tortured.

Yet somehow, he offers me light while I offer him hope. 

In the end, we’ll either hurt or heal each other.

There’s no in between. 

“Pain is the price we pay for love,” he once told me.

And a broken heart is the consequence of it.

CHRISTY'S 5 STAR REVIEW:

"He smiles. 
And it’s in this moment that I fall.
Hard. 
Deep. 
In the company of darkness, Jace Rivera becomes my light."

It seems like every time I finish a Jay McLean book I think… this one is my favorite. They are all that good. I don’t think there is an author out there that consistently makes me fall in love with their characters and writing like she does. I laughed, I cried, and I loved every single moment of Chasing Harlow.

Earlier this year I read the novella ‘In the Company of Darkness’ where we met Harlow and Jace. I was addicted and wanted to learn more about them so I was thrilled when I started Chasing Harlow. Harlow and Jace are both high school seniors. Harlow is starting at a new school after living through a tragedy and moving. 

Jace is the star basketball player at his school and a hometown hero, but he’s not your typical hot shot athlete. He’s reserved and keeps to himself. His homelife isn’t the best and neither is Harlows. They end up being neighbors, coworkers, and with time they become each other's everything. 

Sigh. There is nothing like reading about first loves. Though this love wasn’t always easy or simple, it was beautiful and pure. The last 20% of the book I cried so much, but in the best way possible. They weren’t necessarily sad tears, I was just overwhelmed with my feelings and y’all know I love to feel in books. 

Not only did I love Jace and Harlow, but Jonah was extra special and Harlow’s dad was amazing. There were so many great side characters and the found-family was so special. This book was perfect for me and I couldn’t have loved it more. Do yourself a favor and pick this book up. It’s incredible!

My Dearest Mackenzie by Rachel Blaufeld

 




CHRISTY'S REVIEW:

My Dearest Mackenzie is a romance about two people connected by letters. I loved the premise of this one and the fact that the main characters were a little older. 

Mackenzie Miller is a 40 something year old bachelor and plans on staying that way. His grandma who raised him always wanted more for him, but he's content without love in his life. Until a spunky blonde comes barging into his life with letters. He doesn't want anything to do with them, but since they are regarding his beloved grandma who has passed, he eventually gives in. 

Frankie was closer with her Paps than anyone else in her life and before he died, he gave her love letters he received from his first love. They never made it, but she's curious and has to know more. So she finds her grandson and is bound and determined to see if he has any answers. 

I loved watching the journey these two went on to uncover what happened with Jimmy and Milly, but also watching them fall for each other as well. It was sweet and fun with just the right amount of emotion. Mack was a tough nut to crack, but Frankie got him out of his shell. I enjoyed this one lots.
