In the dazzling world of Hollywood where fame and glamour reign supreme, award-winning megastar Zachary Butler longs for something more than red carpet events and paparazzi flashes. As he navigates fame and tries to extricate himself from his celebrity ex-fiancée, he discovers an unexpected spark with Rowan Walsh, a production assistant on his latest project.
Rowan, haunted by a devastating moment in her past, shields her heart behind walls of guilt, letting no one in. But Zachary’s genuine affection and desire for a meaningful life begin to chip away at her defenses. As their connection deepens, Rowan must battle the self-destructive patterns that have held her back from embracing her passions and finding true love, while Zachary must reveal his own hidden scars—wounds he’s borne in silence for years—if he hopes to heal.
Can Zachary and Rowan confront their pasts to build a future together, or will the storms of scandal, tangled relationships, and the scrutiny of stardom ruin their hopes for a perfect Hollywood ending?
Review
5 “That was a moment” stars!
When Rowan was fifteen, she thought her future was figured out. She was happy and in love with her best friend, and she could see the life she’d have with him by her side. Then, tragedy stuck. Unable to move on from the heartbreak and guilt, Rowan doesn’t allow herself to want what should have been. She stays away from the good guys and only allows herself to be with the ones who don’t remind her of what she might have had before the night that took everything from her.
Zach is the hottest new Hollywood star and he is making a name for himself on the silver screen. But with fame can come toxic relationships. He, too, thought his life was headed in one direction only to have everything fall apart. Now, he can’t understand how it all went wrong.
Falling Like Stars is my new favorite read. It is emotionally heart-wrenching at times but then it fills you up until your heart is over flowing. I felt so many things while reading this story that I am still consumed with these characters and everything they went through even though the story is over. I cried, I laughed, and I loved so hard! Rowan and Zach are everything and I loved their story.
Rowan meets Zach while working on his recent movie as a production assistant. There’s a spark between them but there isn’t room for a new relationship for either of them no matter how intrigued they are with each other. They find themselves in these moments though that let the other see who they truly are. They can trust each other and slowly they want what they think they can’t have.
Rowan harbored so much guilt and loved with unending heartache for over ten years that when she finally takes a step to heal, it filled my heart with so much love. It’s a painful journey but it is worth it. I felt like I knew her and really wanted her to find the happiness that was ripped away.
And Zach had a lot to figure out. My heart broke for this amazing guy who had to deal with the one person who should have supported him but only tore him down. He is such a good guy and he should never have had to go through that or feel the guilt of losing what he imagined he’d have.
I loved when Rowan and Zach finally get together. They bring on the heat but it’s their connection emotionally that really made me have butterflies. They are wonderful together, experiencing love again and having fun. However, when they finally seem to be able to move forward in their relationship there are setbacks that could have the ability to crush them. But where there could have been a whole bunch of drama between Zach and Rowan, they stood by each other with their unending support. Not to say there isn’t drama, it’s just not the drama that takes away from their love. It only makes them stronger.
Overall, this story was fantastic. Get ready for the tissues because it is emotional. All the tears are worth it when you have two amazing characters who belong together the way Rowan and Zach do! I loved it!
