Review & Giveaway : CATCHING STARDUST by Heather Thurmeier (PNR)

Book Blurb

FALLING STARS is a new series of Paranormal Romances. They have the same light-hearted, humorous writing you’ve come to love from my contemporary romances… just with a paranormal twist! But you won’t find any vampires, werewolves or ghosts in these stories. Each book in this series focuses on one of the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades from the Pleiades constellation.

Maia’s been banished to Earth from her place among the stars as the eldest sister of Pleiades... and all because Orion won’t stop chasing her around the universe. Now Maia has to find her way back to the stars with only the help of hunky astronautics scientist Zander while staying hidden from Orion. 

Zander never expected the discovery of his lifetime to fall into his lap, but when Maia also falls into his bed, he knows there’s no way he can turn the goddess who has stolen his heart into a science project. With his best friend ready to sell him out for fame, her wannabe lover Orion chasing after her on Earth, and time running out fast, Zander must fight to keep Maia safe long enough to get her home. 

If going home means losing Zander, is Maia ready to go back to the stars?

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
This book was difficult for me to get into.  The main character Maia was abandoned on Earth by Zeus for unknown reasons and with the inability to get back home until he allowed it.  Her reaction to her situation didn’t seem to align with what I would expect.  I would have been furious and you would have felt that in my actions and thoughts.  Maia was mad but the way it was written, I had a hard time believing it. 
Maia is the eldest sister of Pleiades and the object of Orion’s obsession.  Orion has plans for her. So she loses her place among the stars and ends up on Earth for an unexpected visit. Her father, Atlas, and Zeus decide it is the safest place for her.  They cut off all contact so she is unable to call home. On her first night there she meets Zander who is an astronautics scientist and is instantly drawn to him.  She fights her attraction to him but at times not well.  He finds her intriguing and she shares an interest in the stars.  Zander knows he has met someone special. Of course the truth, of who Maia is, comes out and when he finds out the truth, he refuses to allow Jude to turn her into a science study. When Orion teams up with Jude, the chase is on as Maia and Zander make a run for it. 
This book was not one of my favorites.  I had a hard time getting into the characters.  The plot was interesting but I felt that the author could have added more depth to the characters.  It was too full of fluff for me.  Many of you may enjoy it, but I only give it 2 out of 5 books.

    I really like the cover and the review of the book. I kinda have a thing for the fallin angels type of books and this one looks as though it may fit that category. I am going to have to get this book. By the way thanks for the giveaway.
