Star-Crossed!
Adanne is stretched in many different directions. She is a make-up artist for the stars, she is attempting to keep solvent the community center that her parents started, and she is providing both emotional and monetary support for her brother while his son is hospitalized.
The one thing she doesn’t want to be stretched toward is John Pope, a famous actor who in the past, caused her to lose her job, and tank her make-up artist career. But it seems like every time she turns around, she is being pushed toward John.
Of course, John doesn’t remember her, let alone that he ruined her career. But now he is paying a lot of attention to her despite her attempts to discourage him. He recently found the Lord, and sees Adanne and her faith as just who he needs in his new life.
There are all kinds of things going on. From glamorous Hollywood events and parties, to the stress Adanne is under trying to single-handedly keep the community center open, along with all the other things she is juggling.
The life and death struggle Adanne’s nephew is in, along with her family history and parental loss, are heart-touching. Every time Adanne weakens and lets John in her life, something bad happens, and she raises up walls again.
Misunderstandings, past disappointments, and break up attempts by a scheming friend, work together to keep these two apart, despite any love they feel for each other. The characters’ faith is realistic, and a beautiful part of this tale. Prepare to be hungry when reading the descriptions of the amazing food they get to eat! Fans of stories set in today’s world, and well-written tales, will enjoy this five-star book, I recommend it!
