Of course all that means is that now Olivia Brynn is on my list of authors to hunt out\u2026 er, books, I\u2019ll be hunt\u00ading out&nbsp;books!<\/p>\n<p>Falling Star is very much Adam\u2019s sto\u00adry, to start with any\u00adways. Most of the changes in his life have already start\u00aded \u2014 in a&nbsp;big way \u2014 but they\u2019ve been on the inside. He knows that he\u2019s got years of a&nbsp;poor rep\u00adu\u00adta\u00adtion to over\u00adcome and, more impor\u00adtant\u00adly, he\u2019s not blam\u00ading any\u00adone oth\u00ader than him\u00adself. Adam\u2019s pre\u00adpared to do what he must to become the per\u00adson that he wants to&nbsp;be.<br>\nMeet\u00ading Jade just gives him a&nbsp;stronger impe\u00adtus to repair his lack of cred\u00adi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty. This is one of the things that I&nbsp;like best about Ms. Brynn\u2019s sto\u00adry; he didn\u2019t need to meet Jade before he began to turn his life around. This is some\u00adthing that he had done because he\u2019d had enough of his ego and sub\u00adse\u00adquent \u201cstar\u201d behavior.<\/p>\n<p>I real\u00adly like Jade; she\u2019s down-to-earth and she\u2019s real. I&nbsp;also enjoyed, almost as much as did Adam that she didn\u2019t have a&nbsp;clue as to who her new beau was. She was her nor\u00admal, sweet, car\u00ading and won\u00adder\u00adful self and she got to Adam faster than any\u00adone had&nbsp;ever.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and Jade\u2019s best friend Dean? Oh dear heav\u00aden, a&nbsp;book all about him and his search for love? That would be just too wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, Olivia Brynn has cre\u00adat\u00aded in Falling Star a&nbsp;hero who is def\u00adi\u00adnite\u00adly wor\u00adthy of the name, and a&nbsp;hero\u00adine who, just by being her\u00adself, adds so much to Adam\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>A beau\u00adti\u00adful romance and I&nbsp;sin\u00adcere\u00adly enjoyed my intro\u00adduc\u00adtion to this author\u2019s writing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Rat\u00aded 4\u00c2\u00bd Delight\u00adful Divas by&nbsp;Kathy!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been threat\u00aden\u00ading to write Dean\u2019s <span class=\"caps\">HEA<\/span>\u2026guess I&nbsp;should just do that. Fun\u00adny how she thought it was Adam\u2019s Sto\u00adry, as that was the work\u00ading title for most of the time I&nbsp;spent writ\u00ading&nbsp;it.<\/p>\n<p>In oth\u00ader news, I\u2019ve sub\u00admit\u00adted my con\u00adtem\u00adpo\u00adrary west\u00adern-ish nov\u00adel <strong>Tes\u00adsa\u2019s Pride<\/strong> to an epub\u00adlish\u00ader.
