Synopsis

"Music, love, and dreams all combine in perfect harmony in this sweet romance." --Sheila Roberts, USA TODAY bestselling authorCan a small-town waitress capture the heart of a world-famous heartthrob?For Heather Gordon, life in her small North Carolina town has always been simple and uneventful . . . until one night when a rowdy food fight breaks out in her family's restaurant where she works as a waitress. The culprits? The internationally famous rock band, Kirwan. And when Alex Kirwan, the charming and enigmatic lead singer, wants to make amends for his brothers' (and bandmates') behavior and invites her to attend one of their concerts as a guest of the band, Heather's world is turned upside down . . . and sparks fly.Alex has always loved music, but his rock-star life isn't all glamorous people and parties. It's also paparazzi and online tabloids, a new city every week, and the loneliness of touring--even if he has his brothers with him. But with Heather things are different, and he's instantly smitten and determined to get to know the sweet, pretty woman who has absolutely no interest in his fame. If only he can convince her to take a chance on his crazy life.Once Alex leaves on tour, he and Heather begin exchanging messages and calls. Despite the distance between them, they find themselves learning they have more in common than they ever could have imagined. But even while Heather and Alex's relationship deepens, they must face the harsh realities of fame and the pressures it puts on their personal lives. Will their love be enough to overcome the challenges that come with celebrity, or will the rigors of distance and Alex's life on the road tear them apart?Filled with heart and the intoxicating allure of possibility, Starstruck is a friends-to-lovers romance that takes place in the charming setting of the Flowering Grove series but can be read as a standalone. It's a love story that's heartwarming and wholesome, leaving you with all the feels and none of the explicit content, and is a must-read for your romance book club.

Goodreads review by Lissa on July 06, 2023

3rd person can be really hard to pull off. And frankly, this one didn’t. The whole time I was reading, I felt like I was reading. I never fell completely into the story. It was a lot of telling instead of showing. It also didn't help that the MCs were two of the most boring people I have ever read. (......more
