Synopsis
A Falling Stars STAND-ALONE NOVEL from NYT & USA Today Bestselling Author, A.L. Jackson . . .
Sometimes trying to catch a star will light your whole world on fire…
Emily’s entire existence was wrapped up in touring with her country-rock band Carolina George.
What she never expected was to spend a passionate night with a gorgeous, tattooed stranger.
Their chemistry was combustible.
Their attraction irresistible.
It was never supposed to follow her into the light of day.
Royce’s night with the lead singer of Carolina George was the worst mistake of his life. He needs the band to sign on to his record label or his family will pay the price.
He knows falling for her will threaten his carefully laid plans.
Royce’s past is littered with mistakes and heartache—will he overcome or will his love for Emily just be one more tragedy…
Catch Me When I Fall is the second standalone book in Jackson’s Falling Stars series. It’s another angst-filled, insta-love story that many readers will enjoy.
One thing I have to point out is that Jackson’s writing is one that takes some getting used to. She definitely writes more poetically than most authors that I read. But it works for her as most of her stories are about musicians and/or artists so it fits the characters styles well. Ok onto the story….
I am not a fan of insta-love because they are so difficult to write and make believable between the characters. Emily and Royce’s story I am still 50/50 on. There is an insta-attraction between these two and when things move in a direction that throws Emily off her rocker, it definitely makes things more entertaining. However, these two never get to know one another than more than surface-level. And while that issue is mentioned in the book, nothing is ever done about it.
Emily and Royce are both keeping secrets not just from each other, but from other members of the band. While I understand the need for some suspense to keep things intense, it felt as though these secrets were the only thing that was mentioned (yet never revealed til later) to keep readers interested in the story.
Overall, I felt this played out a little too long for me and I was beginning to skim pages just to see if anything new developed or happened. I am a huge fan of Amy’s so it hurts that this one was not a better read for me. I am definitely in the minority on this one. But it won’t stop me from reading her future books.
