Review
****4 1/2 Obsessive Stars****
This copy was generously provided by the author for a blog tour in exchange for an honest review.
Wow...what angst and anticipation this story shares with the reader. I couldn't put this down wanting to know what was going to happen next with Dominic and Elizabeth.
This story captivated me and mesmorized me from the first to the last page and I can't wait to see what Ms. Lee comes up with next for the second installment of this series.
The characters were developed perfectly and I found myself connecting with Elizabeth and my heart breaking for her, but then it was all about Dominic and getting the girl.
Perfect book to curl up with and lose yourself for a day!
Excerpt
I lose the track of my friends' conversation as the fine
hair at my nape bristles -- not unpleasantly -- and my gaze lands on the sole
bartender on the other side of the counter.

Everything fades away except him.
I've met handsome men, hot men, aristocratic men, charming
men on both sides of the Atlantic. My family alone has four brothers and four
cousins who make women stupid with their looks. Having grown up around such
male beauty, I've always considered myself immune -- able to appreciate it
without turning into some kind of infatuated drooler.

But the bartender...
Everything about him is absurd.
The absurd perfection of his bone structure. The absurd blue
of his eyes. The absurd firmness of his lips. The absurd muscularity of his
big, strong body.

When our gazes collide, I feel like every cell in my body is
waking up after a lifetime of slumber. My heart beats a little bit faster, a
little bit harder. Blood flows a little quicker, a little hotter.

Is this sexual attraction?
I shake my head inwardly. I've felt attraction to guys
before. But nothing like this. This man shines like a brilliant gemstone, like
the heavens opened up and a halo appeared around him.

Then I remember what Grandpa used to say.
"When I first met your grandmother, I knew she was the

"How?" I asked. An exceptional artist, Grandpa has
a propensity for exaggeration and dramatic flair.

"Because she made me forget where I was. Every time I

I laughed. "That's just infatuation, Grandpa."
He shook his head. "No, no, my little angel. It's
called love. My soul recognized hers."

I tried not to laugh at such a ridiculous story. On the
other hand, Grandpa's first marriage lasted until the death of his wife in a
sailing accident. And by all accounts, they adored each other.

Suddenly Vanessa taps my elbow. "Earth to Elizabeth.
Come on." She tilts her shiny red head toward the bar. "We're sitting
at the counter."

Apparently the decision has been made. "Okay." I
