Of course all that means is that now Olivia Brynn is on my list of authors to hunt out&#8230; er, books, I\u2019ll be hunting out books!<\/p>\n<p>Falling Star is very much Adam\u2019s story, to start with anyways. Most of the changes in his life have already started \u2014 in a big way \u2014 but they\u2019ve been on the inside. He knows that he\u2019s got years of a poor reputation to overcome and, more importantly, he\u2019s not blaming anyone other than himself. Adam\u2019s prepared to do what he must to become the person that he wants to be.<br \/>\nMeeting 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\u2019s story; he didn\u2019t need to meet Jade before he began to turn his life around. This is something that he had done because he\u2019d had enough of his ego and subsequent \u201cstar\u201d behavior.<\/p>\n<p>I really like Jade; she\u2019s down-to-earth and she\u2019s real. I also enjoyed, almost as much as did Adam that she didn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and Jade\u2019s best friend Dean? Oh dear heaven, a book all about him and his search for love? That would be just too wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>A beautiful romance and I sincerely enjoyed my introduction to this author\u2019s writing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Rated 4\u00c2\u00bd Delightful Divas by Kathy!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been threatening to write Dean&#8217;s HEA&#8230;guess I should just do that. Funny how she thought it was Adam&#8217;s Story, as that was the working title for most of the time I spent writing it.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, I&#8217;ve submitted my contemporary western-ish novel <strong>Tessa&#8217;s Pride<\/strong> to an epublisher. I&#8217;ll keep you all informed on the progress.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;ll share a blurb and excerpt soon.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Falling Star was reviewed by Kathy over at Dark Diva Reviews.\u00c2\u00a0Here is what she had to say:\u00c2\u00a0 I don\u2019t know exactly what I expected from this story, but what I [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"twitterCardType":"","cardImageID":0,"cardImage":"","cardTitle":"","cardDesc":"","cardImageAlt":"","cardPlayer":"","cardPlayerWidth":0,"cardPlayerHeight":0,"cardPlayerStream":"","cardPlayerCodec":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3WdCY-aE","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/660"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/660\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
