Our memories define us - don't they?
And Skye Threppel lost most of hers in a car crash that stole the lives of her best friend and fiance. It's left scars, inside and out, which have destroyed her career and her confidence.
Skye hopes a trip to the wide dusty landscapes of Nevada - and a TV convention offering the chance to meet the actor she idolises - will help her heal. But she bumps into mysterious sci-fi writer jack Whitaker first. He's a handsome contradiction - cool and intense, with a wild past.
Jack has enough problems already. He isn't looking for a woman with self-esteem issues and a crush on one of his leading actors. Yet he's drawn to Skye.
An instant rapport soon becomes intense attraction, but Jack fears they can't have a future if Skye ever finds out about his past......
Will their memories tear them apart, or can they build new ones together?
After reading Jane Lovering's last novel Please don't stop the music, and seeing the cover and blurb for Star Struck I was looking forward to reading this latest novel.
Skye Threppal is a messed up girl. She was involved in a car crash that no only left her shattered and grieving for the loss of her friend and fiance, who she cannot remember, but also a recluse.
She has her friend's brother Felix as an emotional crutch and her only link to her past before the accident. More about him later.
Jack Whitaker is a writer for a popular sci-fi series and has ghosts and demons of his own to deal with.
The meeting of Skye and Jack,at the sci-fi convention seems to be a bad idea, as they do not need the complications of each other's issues.
This is a dark romantic comedy and there are some shocks along the way. I enjoyed the storyline and discovering the secrets these characters had. Fast paced and action packed, just like the sci-fi series, there are some strong emotions from these characters.
There is a but! Felix to be precise. I was uncomfortable with his behaviour involving Skye. I don't want to spoil the story for you, all I can say is that I would not call someone a friend if they put me in those situations. Saying that the author portrayed these characters well enough to stir some strong emotions in me to dislike this character. Great writing.
Looking forward to more from Jane Lovering.
If you like your chick-lit to have an edge you will love this one!
