Seeing Stars was fun, entertaining and just a tad crazy (but in a good way). ~ Slick, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
When pop star Starly Minx freezes onstage during a show, she knows what her guilty conscience is telling her. She has to make things right with her nemesis, Hope Falls’ own Karina Black. And she has to do it without the paparazzi finding out. If only she didn’t have to leave behind the man she’s been secretly pining for—her sinfully hot bodyguard Hunter McGraw.
Hunter just turned in his resignation. He desperately needs to get some distance from the distracting, enchanting Starly and get on with his life. But if she’s going to Hope Falls, he’s going after her. Who else is going to keep her out of trouble? And with two feuding pop stars in the same tiny town, trouble is inevitable.
They can deal with the paparazzi. They can deal with the curious Hope Falls residents. But can they keep their feelings secret from each other? Is that even possible when every touch has them seeing stars?
Review copy provided for an honest review
Seeing Stars was a fun and entertaining novella in the Hope Falls world. Jennifer Bernard sends a pop princess with her bodyguard on her tail to Hope Falls where she hopes to apologize to another pop princess and make restitution for something she feels guilty about. Seeing Stars was fun, entertaining and just a tad crazy (but in a good way).
Starly Minx is a pop princess on the edge; exhausted and thinking about all the things she’s done in her career Starly walks off the stage during a concert and disappears. Her label sends her bodyguard after her, a man who she feels is the only person in her life that understands her and a man she has lusted after since he came to work for her label. What Starly doesn’t realize is that Hunter McGraw wants her with a passion and keeping his hands off has been so difficult that he’s quitting his job to move on because he can no longer be around her and keep his hands and other body parts to himself.
I really enjoyed this story and it was so easy to feel the connection between Starly and Hunter and once they are in the same space without the pressures of Starly’s career they have no problems moving their relationship to a physical one. Hunter is there to back Starly as she sets out to make amends, but he also makes her realize she wants more in her life than the stage, the road, and her career. There were a few moments where her stardom and that of Karina Black, the woman she intends to apologize to, gets in the way but that only made this story more entertaining and was probably very realistic of what happens when someone famous disappears and is found.
It is always so easy to fall in love with a Jennifer Bernard story and Seeing Stars was no different.
