This story made me happy. It was a sweet and easy read. The romance isn’t rushed but you see their relationship grow. Very sweet - Alex is swoony and Heather is a lovely girl. A simple, delightful story. Heather is a genuine, lovely, down-to-earth girl, and Alex is an honest and normal guy. Heather has quirky names for her cakes; some of them are really silly and don’t make any sense at all (like Plot Twist Cinnamon Rolls or Love Triangle Lemon Cake, how weird is that!) but that is the only flaw I can come up with. I loved the lack of sex scenes, finally a book that is about love, romance, courtship and all the feels. It has enough depth to be interesting and believable. I liked it a lot and will recommend this book to my friends.
I received and reviewed an advanced copy of this book and I am grateful for this opportunity. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hallmark Movies- this is was this made me feel as I was reading it and I have no objections to it because I can watch Hallmark movies all day and fall in love over and over again. All the feels these characters felt, I felt with them from start to finish. It was a fast paced read in my opinion and I was sad I finished it, I was that invested. Beautifully written by Amy Clipston, this was my first read of hers and it will most definitely not be the last either!

Thank you Netgalley & publisher for sending me an ARC!

She is a small town girl and he's an international famous rock star. They meet and become good friends and evventually lovers.

It's sweet and charming. I enjoyed the swoony romance a lot. Many funny scenes too. Love the small town feel.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

I can honestly say I finish this book in one sitting
I found the relationship between Alex and Heather, so sweet and so endearing… I laughed with them, cried with them, and for them, and cheered them on from page one to the epilogue

This is the first book I have read by this author, and it will definitely not be the last

This book was enjoyable to read, nothing challenging, perfect for an afternoon break. The main characters were cute, although I did not find the romance particularly engaging.

Alex, a famous musician, meets Heather when his brothers create a mess at her family’s restaurant. Heather has never heard of Alex’s band and they strike up a romance.
Sadly, I did not love this book. While it was a sweet romance, I felt that the storyline and characters lacked depth. In my opinion, it never went below the surface.

What a sweet and fun romance! Clipston takes a very unlikely situation and makes it seem plausible, showing the vulnerabilities and full scope of character of each protagonist. Their unlikely meet-cute, progression to relationship, and struggles to find a compromise that works will endear you to them and make you want to know what happens next. Will there be another book in this series, featuring a different brother? We'll see...

A swoon-worthy book!! Alex is such a heart throb and even better person as he loves going to the children's hospitals and encouraging the kids. Heather is also such a great character and I loved the way she pairs her baking with her favorite books. This was such a fun book to read!



Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own..

Alex Kirwan and his brothers have a Rock Band that has achieved stardom and his life is a lonely life of tours and performances. On tour in North Carolina the band stops at a well known BBQ restaurant for dinner and his younger brothers get into a food fight. Heather Gordon, the daughter of the owners, is a waitress that night. She is also a baker, well known for her desserts and cookies. She is disgusted with the mess the younger men left and when Alex comes back into the dining room after a phone call with his mother, Heather lets her displeasure be known. Tired of women fawning over him, it is refreshing to Alex to meet a woman who displays none of that. Alex gives tickets for his concert to Heather and her younger, starstruck sister, Wendy and even though Heather is not impressed she goes to appease Wendy. That night their friendship begins and soon turns to long distance romance. After some angst about their different lifestyles and homes (his family is from the West Coast) love conquers all. This was an entertaining, fast-paced romance.

I have voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my own honest opinion.

Oh my goodness!! I simply couldn't put this sweet novel down so I finished it one day!
Put it simply Clipston is just marvelous in anything she writes!
You'll be swept away from beginning to end.
I just adored this book! I appreciate a fun read every now and then!
I really do know a guy named Jordan in real life! I also know a few Heather's too. I honestly think that's why I grabbed this book. It was the names and the cover that drew me.
I laughed at myself for that reason. Really though, I loved the entire book for itself.
I simply couldn't wait to write this review. I just enjoyed it that much!
I really loved Wendy, too. I loved her bubbly outgoing personality and laid back ways.
Then there's Heather, who's more like me. She's a bit reserved, but I still loved her. She has my dream!
This book had me grinning throughout it. I even laughed outloud too!
5 stars for this sweet contemporary novel!
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

In Starstruck, we follow Heather and Alex trying to navigate a developing relationship while in different parts of the country. We see them both grow in what they want in life, dreams and goals manifesting. It is a sweet story of being worthy and enough, while also putting yourself out there to make your dreams a reality. Inspiring and heartwarming.
I really enjoyed reading this book and it will be on my shelf as soon as it’s available!

Thank you Netgalley and Thomas Nelson for an ARC of Starstruck by Amy Clipston
