Genre: Contemporary Romance

Liam Quinn is talented, gorgeous, and one of the biggest movie stars in the world.

He’s also the only man Elissa Holt has ever truly loved.

After being out of her life for six years, he and his gorgeous fiancé are set to star in the new Broadway show Elissa is stage managing. The only trouble is, when late night rehearsals bring Elissa and Liam together, the line between what is and what could have been gets blurred, and one moment of weakness will lead to a scandal that will echo around the world.

Elissa knows that falling for Liam again would be a tragedy in the making, but as any good romantic will tell you, love doesn’t always follow the script.

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Leisa Rayven. The lady knows how to pack the punches and smash it right across the page and knock you out, pounding you right in the chesticles.

The latest instalment, #3 in the “Starcrossed” series, does not disappoint.

When Linda Travers was fourteen, Dave Madsen, then age seventeen, rescued her from a snowy death. They later met at an end-of-term party at their college and lost their virginities to each other before Dave left the country.

And now…Despite spending her teenage years mooning over Dave, Linda Travers has moved on with her life. Being left pregnant and alone will force that on a gal. Age twenty-five, she lives in their hometown with their six-year-old, Mac. Then Dr. Dave Madsen reappears. He’s spent the last years exploring in the Amazon, searching for new plants and medications. A vicious snakebite has left him needing rehab from the only physical therapist around—Linda.

Their college lovemaking was the first time for both, so Linda and Dave remember each other. She’s amazed to feel the same old anger, hurt, and need. Less emotional, Dave’s curious about Linda, wondering why she didn’t leave her address and phone number for him when what they’d shared had been so good. Neither totally believes the explanations the other offers.

Since the rescue, Dave was always Linda’s hero, but she doesn’t know him anymore. Is he worthy of fathering their son? And what of their love? Can they create a future…together as a family?

This is such a sweet read. If you’re after a nice, clean book with lots of chemistry and romance than look no further. Suz DeMello has written a lovely story of a couple who spent many years apart, but in the end, fate and the universe bought them back together. I love how intense Dave gets at the end towards Lin. One of my favourite quotes is about their love, when he explains it as:

“No, not just biology. So much more than hormones saying ‘hi’ to each other. I love you. With all your confusion and your struggles, you’re the one. You’ve always been the one, and you always will be.”

This is a definite happily ever after, and the author is up front about that in the beginning. Be sure to read this book when you’re in the mood for a kind, easy to read, touching HEA.
