Falling Star was reviewed by Kathy over at Dark Diva Reviews. Here is what she had to say: 

I don’t know exact­ly what I expect­ed from this sto­ry, but what I read was much rich­er in detail and emo­tion than I would have thought. Of course all that means is that now Olivia Brynn is on my list of authors to hunt out… er, books, I’ll be hunt­ing out books!

Falling Star is very much Adam’s sto­ry, to start with any­ways. Most of the changes in his life have already start­ed — in a big way — but they’ve been on the inside. He knows that he’s got years of a poor rep­u­ta­tion to over­come and, more impor­tant­ly, he’s not blam­ing any­one oth­er than him­self. Adam’s pre­pared to do what he must to become the per­son that he wants to be.
Meet­ing Jade just gives him a stronger impe­tus to repair his lack of cred­i­bil­i­ty. This is one of the things that I like best about Ms. Brynn’s sto­ry; he didn’t need to meet Jade before he began to turn his life around. This is some­thing that he had done because he’d had enough of his ego and sub­se­quent “star” behavior.

I real­ly like Jade; she’s down-to-earth and she’s real. I also enjoyed, almost as much as did Adam that she didn’t have a clue as to who her new beau was. She was her nor­mal, sweet, car­ing and won­der­ful self and she got to Adam faster than any­one had ever.

Oh and Jade’s best friend Dean? Oh dear heav­en, a book all about him and his search for love? That would be just too wonderful.

All in all, Olivia Brynn has cre­at­ed in Falling Star a hero who is def­i­nite­ly wor­thy of the name, and a hero­ine who, just by being her­self, adds so much to Adam’s life.

A beau­ti­ful romance and I sin­cere­ly enjoyed my intro­duc­tion to this author’s writing.

Rat­ed 4½ Delight­ful Divas by Kathy!

I’ve been threat­en­ing to write Dean’s HEA…guess I should just do that. Fun­ny how she thought it was Adam’s Sto­ry, as that was the work­ing title for most of the time I spent writ­ing it.

In oth­er news, I’ve sub­mit­ted my con­tem­po­rary west­ern-ish nov­el Tes­sa’s Pride to an epub­lish­er. I’ll keep you all informed on the progress.  I’ll share a blurb and excerpt soon.

This week I’m putting the fin­ish­ing touch­es on my lat­est, and it seems I dipped a lit­tle too deep in Alan­na’s side of the brain, because the hero, Josh Bradley, end­ed up being a sexy Mon­tana cowboy.

I’m at the point right now, where I could wrap it up in a few hours, but I have the ten­den­cy to rush end­ings, so I’m try­ing to con­trol myself. I’ve been at this point for a week or two, and I keep going back to the mid­dle chap­ters and beef­ing it up. You don’t mind if I put some meat on my cow­boys, do you?

Here is a ten­ta­tive blurb. The book is titled Tes­sa’s Pride, a con­tem­po­rary west­ern erot­ic romance with a bit of intrigue thrown in.

Tes­sa McCade isn’t a quit­ter. After six years of hard work, she took own­er­ship of Bradley Equine Ranch, the best show-horse ranch in Mon­tana. She was so sure of her abil­i­ties that when a dis­ease strikes down most of her herd, she’s stunned. With her rep­u­ta­tion ruined, she has no choice but to sell, even though that means swal­low­ing her pride, and giv­ing up her dream. The last per­son she want­ed to see in this state of mind is Josh Bradley, the prodi­gal son of BER, and a man whose kiss­es are lethal to a wom­an’s self con­trol. Tes­sa does­n’t know whether he came back to bail her out or rub it in. Either way, he’s got anoth­er thing com­ing. if there’s one thing Tes­sa refus­es to lose, it’s her pride.

I’ll keep you updat­ed on the progress of Tes­sa’s Pride. I might need a las­so and cat­tle prod before it’s all said and done. Any volunteers?
