The Shaughnessy family is back again with Owen’s story. Owen’s never been like his siblings due to his intelligence, and when his mother died, he lost his cheerleader who helped him see his worth. Owen’s mentor introduces him to his niece, Brooke, who feels a connection to Owen unlike anything she’s ever felt before. He feels the same way about her, but doubts she can truly love him. Owen’s family is there for him and gives him a kick in the butt to help him get his girl. Another wonderful book by Samantha Chase!

My heart aches. The tears have left tracks down my checks. It is rare for a book to touch me this deeply. It takes an extremely talented author like Nora Roberts or Danielle Steel to do this. I laughed. I cried. I cheered Owen on! I love Owen completely! His lack of confidence, social awkwardness, & ineptness endeared his character to me. Brooke is a complete opposite of him but was perfect for him since she had already changed her personality from the mean girl she was in school. She knew how difficult it was & without knowing it, was able to guide him along his path.

The interactions between Owen & his family were enlightening. Owen & Riley always relied on each other until Riley became jealous of Owen's growth. When Owen stood up for himself, didn't back down & let Riley have it, I could have cheered! The Owen they knew didn't call them on their bad manners. The interactions between Owen & his dad, Brooke & her uncle & even Owen & his mentor were tender & educational. These moments lead to more & more details of their pasts & personalities coming to the surface. The intensity of the attraction from the minute Brooke & Owen meet jumps off the page at you.

I don't know how Samantha Chase does it. Each story builds on the feelings from the previous ones. This can be read as a stand alone since each plot ends within the book. If you start at the beginning with the first book, you get more of an understanding into the personalities. I don't feel that my review has done this book justice but I've done my best. I can't wait for Darcy's story!

This book!! It was fabulous! A sweet, sexy, emotional story about Owen, the genius astrophysicist, and Brooke, mean girl turned artist. The story had everything you could want. I especially liked how each of these characters had to overcome self-doubt in order to find their HEA. And now I'm anxiously awaiting Darcy's story!

A fantastic story that touched every corner of my heart. It was so exciting to see Owen Shaughnessy shed his nerdy shell and become the man he was always meant to be. Owen has dated before but never has he known a woman who understands him the way the feisty free spirited Brooke Mathews does. He will never be able to thank his mentor and Brooke's uncle enough for introducing him.

This is one of the best opposites attract stories I've read. Owen is serious, lacks social skills, and feels a little lost in world. Brooke is artistic, outgoing, and appears confident and strong. Together they are explosive. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

Samantha Chase has a gift. A gift for creating families and developing a series of books about them. The Shaughnessys just may be the most special fictional family I have ever met! I have loved reading about all of them to this point. Aidan the control freak, Hugh the uptight one, Quinn the flirty one and Riley the sexy musician. I had been counting down the months, weeks, days, until I could read Owen, the super smart one's story, A SKY FULL OF STARS, and let me tell you, it was definitely worth the wait!

Owen Shaughnessy, an exceptionally intelligent, very literal, astrophysicist, has been temporarily working as a faculty member at a University in Chicago, when Brooke, a beautiful, artsy, engaging, whimsical woman is introduced to him. The seed of the idea of Brooke assisting Owen on a student trip to Red Rocks, to view the eta aquarid meteor shower was mentioned to them by a mutual party. Owen would go and discuss the science of the stars in the sky with his students. Brooke wanted to paint the night sky. What neither of them counted on was the strong attraction they had for each other, a pull that was hard to resist.

Samantha Chase took me on an emotional, fun, desperately romantic ride. I wanted Owen and Brooke to see the promise each of them held, in themselves and in each other. I was impressed that Owen broke out of his comfort zone on occassion. I was glad to go back to North Carolina for a bit. I was completely torn up over family dynamics that had me bawling like a baby one minute and laughing my butt off the next. And of course, any time we saw a glimpse of Lillian Shaughnessy, I was grateful.

So, I thank you, Samantha Chase, not only for creating The Shaughnessy Family(that I want to somehow become an honorary member of), but for wrting A SKY FULL OF STARS. Owen's story is incredibly meaningful, realistic, heartfelt and romantic! You are a true STAR!!! Congratulations!!

I love all Shaughnessy's . Owen is truly my favorite. Owen is on the outside looking in the window to his family. Brooke is trying to find herself. They both have insecurities. Brooke is the ray of light in Owens world. When she leaves he feels like sun has gone behind the clouds. Brooke brings joyful passion to his life. In some ways his siblings have a hard time seeing him in this new role. Brooke gives him the confidence to show the whole world that he is an amazing , loyal and gifted man. This book reminds me of Bridget Jones Diary. Owen totally reminds me of Mark Darcy. I cannot wait for Darcy's book. I totally recommend this book any romance lover.

A Sky Full of Stars is such a wonderful, sweet and emotional story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I didn't want to put it down once I started it. Owen and Brooke have such a unique relationship and it was so enjoyable to watch them grow individually and as a couple. Both Owen and Brooke have their own issues to work through and they realize that they are stronger together than apart. The change in Owen shocks his family but are happy to see him grow as a person. This book tugged at all of my emotions and I found myself reaching for tissues for both Owen and Brooke. This book is part of a series but you will not have any difficulty reading it as a stand alone.

A Sky Full of Stars by Samantha Chase

Wow. There are really no words to describe what I am feeling right now. I mean I love Samantha chase and all her books. I have been waiting forever to read Owen's story. Owen's story was well worth the wait. Samantha Chase went above and beyond my expectations of what Owen's story would be. In A Sky Full of Stars Samantha Chase brings together an self-conscious artist and a shy astrophysicist.

In A Sky Full of Stars we finally get to know Owen Shaughnessy. We also meet Brooke Matthews. Owen is beyond brilliant and of course sexy and of course lacking social skills (or so he believes). Owen often is the opposite of all his siblings socially. Owen even feels like an outsider where he family is concerned. He is also Riley Shaughnessy's twin.
Brooke Matthews is an artist. She is independent. She is the niece of Owen's friend and mentor Howard. Brooke is the opposite of Owen.

Through out this story we see Owen open up and grow. He changes. We get to see how when two opposites fall in love what happens to them and their world. Owen and Brooke soon discover that love can overpower and amaze you.

It is easy to see why I adore Samantha Chase as an author and why I adore all her books. In every single story she writes you find you can relate with her characters. They and their struggles are realistic. Samantha Chase goes above and beyond in all her stories but in A Sky Full of Stars she went beyond her normal. a Sky Full of Stars was masterfully written. Perfect from beginning to end. From the first page you get emotion of all types. I cried and laughed. My heart swooned and ached. I completely enjoyed every moment in this book. This was well worth the wait for Owen.

I highly recommend A Sky Full of Stars. You will not regret reading this story.
If I could go beyond a five star rating I would. Just perfect. Way to go Samantha Chase this was a superb read and my favorite of all time.

OMG!! I don't normally cry when reading a book but this one got me! This is a beautiful story that will pull on your heartstrings! This story swept me away on a beautiful journey of love and heartbreak and then dropped me off on a cloud of happiness! Owen and Brooke's story is heartfelt, loving and will give you a smile or two along the way!! I LOVED it!!

A sky full of stars is about Owen Shaughnessy, a brilliant astrophysicist and Brooke Mathews, an artist. Two people who are completely opposite each other, but yet similar in a lot of ways. Magic is expected when opposites attract and Ms Chase doesn't disappoint .
This was a beautiful read of hope, loss, and family bond. It was a fast paced read with strong emotions that made me laugh and cry. I just loved Owen, he was so endearing. This is definitely an addition to my list of favorite reads.

A Sky Full of Stars (The Shaughnessy Brothers Book 5) is the beautifully emotional story of Owen and Brooke. Owen is super smart with a brilliant career as an astrophysicist but he is socially awkward and shy. Owen is scheduled to lead a trip of students to view a meteor shower and although the scientific part of the trip will come easily to Owen the social interaction with the students will be difficult. Howard, Owen’s mentor, and friend recognizes that and introduces Owen to his niece Brooke hoping she will be of help to Owen in breaking the ice with his students.

Brooke is Owen’s complete opposite – she is an outgoing, confident artist that can carry on a conversation with anyone. Although Brooke is beautiful and leads Owen down a path of self-doubt, the attraction between the two of them is almost at first sight. Owen and Brooke begin to spend time together doing things that each of them enjoys. They take the relationship slowly but when it moves to the next level – the setting could not be more perfect!

So what happens when opposites attract – pure magic that leaves the reader breathless!
I love how sweet and thoughtful Owen is – the way he thinks everything through and chooses his words carefully. My favorite lines from the book are Owen’s - “ You never have to worry about anything with me Brooke”…”I will never ask anything of you that you aren’t willing to give, and if anything about my being her with you makes you uncomfortable, I’ll leave. Your peace of mind, your happiness, are all that matters.”

This story touched my heart and in true Samantha Chase fashion, it left me wanting more of the Shaughnessy Brothers!

Dr Owen Shaughnessy is brilliant, sexy, socially inept, (so he thinks), and a twin of a famous rock star. Brook Matthews is an artist, ex beauty pageant contestant, and the niece of Dr. Owen's mentor. These two are as different as two people can be. He's strait laced, she's fancy free. But you know what they say opposites attract. Brook is a great match for Owen. She gets him. He try's to "get" her . First Owen has to overcome all the things he was bullied about growing up to become the man he is today. Brook helps him do this. Another beautiful story from Samantha Chase. I think maybe it was my favorite to date. You'll laugh, you'll cry, (lots of crying) and love the HEA.

This story is most definitely a tear jerker! No lie!

Owen is that very reserved person to the point that I didn't know if and how I would come to like him. He is a Shaughnessy that lacks confidence in himself but has all the love he could possibly need coming from his family. He never thought that he would find himself with a woman who could fill a gap that he didn't realize was there but that is what Brooke did.

Brooke is from a family that expected her to be a trophy wife. She was in beauty pageants and wasn't expected to excel in academics. So when she meets Owen she see's something in him; something more than awkward. She pursues him in a way that he never expected but she was very kind and considerate about it. She could see what made him uncomfortable and let him into himself at a pace that he needed.

She definitely brought something out in him that his family never expected and they didn't know quite well how to handle it. She showed him that he was more than what people said he was and that he had so much potential to be exactly as he should. Maybe that doesn't make sense but once you read this, you'll know what I mean.

I loved the character growth shown on both ends and I love that it wasn't forced but seemed natural.

Great read!

Owen Shaunessey the shy, quiet, super intelligent, sensitive brother of the bunch of 6 siblings, finds his solstice in the night sky. Something he shared with his mother before fate intervened when he was younger. Today Owen finds himself unsettled, feeling the outsider in life, socially and with his family.
Then he meets Brooke, a gorgeous talented artist and niece of his mentor. Both have baggage, both need the other to find themselves and each other, this is their story as seen in the stars, literally! I laughed, cringed, gasped in shock and cried at several points through the story Ms Chase has way of wrapping an amazing story around her readers, drawing them in, evoking the feelings for real - amazing

A true romantic delight, "A Sky Full of Stars," is one of the top gems of romance this year.

This year I have been taking a break from my normal readings of historical fiction and have hopped on board the contemporary romance train. I'm glad that I did. I still love historical romances but this year has unquestionably been a time for the shining spotlight of modern romances. The author, Samantha Chase has been a favorite of mine for some time now mostly due to her imaginative plots. The thing I love most about a Chase novel is the author's ability to create intertwining plots that are pristine, clear and highly romanticizing. This was the case with "A Sky Full of Stars," the novel was so romantic, I mean a night spent beneath the open vast, vibrate stars of the grand canyon and my romantic heart literally melted into pieces.

I have to give Chase thumbs up for creating a more sophisticated hero such as with Owen. I love a techie hero in comparison to the over worn bad boy hero I am so used to seeing in romances. Owen was attractive, smart, funny and quite the charmer. In short, Owen's characteristics are more of what I want to see in modern heroes.

Let's talk about Brooke, the heroine. Brooke was more the standard heroine that I expected to find although I did love her career as a scenery artist. Brooke was not only talented but beautiful and together she and Owen shared a common interest regarding the stars which basically is the central focus of the novel. I'm happy with this fact because the romance is the true superstar of this novel.

I do want to point out that it is best to read the entire series of, "The Shaughnessy Brothers," to get a sense of what each brother's own personality is like and because the stories are worth reading. You do not have to do so of course because there is the minimum amount of confusion if you chose to start "A Sky Full of Stars first."

If it is not only apparent I would immensely propose that take my advice and read this novel as you are in for a real treat.

A Sky Full of Stars by Samantha Chase is another brilliant masterpiece. Once again, this talented writer, has brought me to tears. Her story is full of emeotions that pulled at my heart strings. Sad, hilarious, frustrated and loved. A book that made readers feel something is a book worth reading. A Sky Full of Stars has it all.

Inside this latest novel, Samantha Chase features the brainiac brother. Dr. Own Shaughnessy. He's hot, clever, and the sweetest man ever. But little by little, I got to view his bolder side. His personality is one that intrigued me. All his life, his family stood up for me. Telling him,,he's normal. When everyone else said differently. As an adult a lot of that feeling of not being normal transferred over...making it harder for Dr. Owen to believe in himself. Yet, his family continued to tell him he's perefect. I love the Shaughnessy family. Yes, they're loud and different, but they're loyal. They love each other.

A Sky Full of Stars is about Dr. Owen finding the courage to believe that he's perfect the way he is. That's he's normal. It's a real struggle for the man whose so talented. Then, as the plot unfolds, his world gets shaken. Enter Brooke Matthews. A girl trained for beauty pageants. Together their lives will be rocky. As in the real world nothing comes easy...these two will cry, laugh, love, and fight. I enjoyed watching them grow. Also, themes of loss, love, and courage are found on every page. Overall, I highly recommend A Sky Full of Stars to all.

Creativity is a trait that continues to draw me to author, Samantha Chase. Never has her understanding of the heart been more obvious than Owen Shaughnessy. I knew A Sky Full of Stars would be special and Ms. Chase did not disappoint. In Owen she dreamed up a unique hero that is as clueless as he is unforgettable. He's book smart but emotionally he's like a baby bird learning to spread his wings. He feels deeply, yet doesn't fully ascertain how to express what he feels. In Brooke, he finds his total opposite, but he also learns to not overthink life, LIVE IT. In no way should this couple work but they do. They bring out the best in each other as each learns how to be true themselves.

Owen is my favourite Shaughnessy brother. Such a gentle soul who was very close to his mum and has always struggled to find his way after her death when he was only a young lad. I was lucky enough to receive and ARC of this book. You won't be disappointed. It really is a beautiful story. Have the tissue box handy as you will shed a tear or hundred .. like me. Both Owen and Brooke have a little heartbreak in their lives.
They are so sweet together.
I loved the friendship between them and also with Owen's siblings..
Can't wait for Darcy's book

A really great story!!! Brilliant astrophysicist Owen Shaughnessy finally gets his story. Owen who is very comfortable in the science world finds himself dealing with feelings he has never encountered before when he meets free-spirited Brooke Matthews. Two polar opposites open each other's world to new possibilities.
