Starstruck

Summary: This book is intrigued me from the start.
Review: Miss Cassiopeia "Cassie" Bentbrooke was considered an oddity. At the old age of 27 she was considered to be "on the shelf", just as she wished to be. Cassie had no interest in marriage at all. Cassie cared for only two things; Liza's well-being (her ward) and continuing her late father's work of astronomy. Every clear night found Cassie on the roof with her father's instruments and journals. When her father's assistant had died Cassie logged all her father's findings for him - IN CODE.

Suddenly everything began happening at once. [...]

Everyone was looking for some sort of treasure and believed the location to be hidden among the pages of the journals that were filled with only facts about the Heavens. Cassie had to figure out what was really going on, and quickly, as things were beginning to become dangerous.

***** If you are looking for an air-headed heroine whose goal in life is to faint then this book is not for you! Cassie is a level headed and strong willed heroine that I fell in love with quickly and admired throughout the novel. Devon is a sexy hero too, but there were times I just wanted him to open up to Cassie. Luckily, he did not. Here is a book that will intrigue you whether you like gazing at the stars or not. Fast paced and sub-plots that will keep events interesting. Terrific reading here!

Summary: Another stellar book by Regina Scott!
Review: Regina Scott has written another amazing book. Her plot is intricate and well researched. Her characters are multifaceted; no fainting spells for her heroine Cassie! Here is a woman that is intelligent, resourceful, beautiful, and gracious. If you want a good book, buy this one!

Summary: Very Disapointed!
Review: Typically I find Regina Scott to be a wonderful writer, however I was very disappointed with Starstruck. There was no mystery involved- it was obvious who was the "bad guy", and although it is rarely a mystery whether or not the hero and heroine will get together, in Starstruck the romance was particularly bland. Certain characters seemed to lose their edge, certain sub-plots petered out in the middle-all in all not what I expected from Regina Scott. However, some props for the astronomy research, however I did find mistakes in the french!! My advice? go for the Unflappable Miss Fairchild-this is the first one that I read and it certainly was good enough to keep me coming back for more...and I'm rarely dissapointed (this book being the exception!)
