Stardust by Mimi Strong



Synopsis from Goodreads:

There I was, minding my own business at Peachtree Books when this lunatic comes racing in the door and knocks me into his arms. I would have ripped him a new one, but he was kinda familiar, and hot. Like I-want-to-have-your-sexy-babies-now hot.

Turns out he looks familiar because I stare at his gorgeous face on TV every week. Yup, Dalton Deangelo. In the oh-so-firm flesh.

I let him hide out from the press for a while, then I thought he'd be on his way, and I could breathe normally again. But no. He found me interesting. He wanted to tag along to my cousin's wedding with me. I couldn't say no to that face...or THOSE EYES. Before the night was through, he was saying sweet things, then dirty things. Very dirty things.

I try to keep my eyes wide open. I've made terrible, stupid mistakes in the past. But Dalton Deangelo's touch turns me to Jell-O.

I'm just a regular girl, and he's rich and famous with no body fat. The guy has a butler! So, why is he chasing me? And why can't I say no? And what is this sordid secret of his the reporters are trying to uncover?



Melanie's Review
5 (Million) HUGE STARS

I kept seeing this book pop up on my Facebook and decided to give it a shot. And OMGGG did I LOVE this book!!!! I've been in a bit of a book slump lately but this book definitely brought me out of it. It kept me wanting more from the very first page to the last.

Peaches Monroe has absolutely become my most very favorite female character in a book EVER!!! I'm seriously not even kidding. She is just your average, everyday woman with very low self esteem and a terrible self image; she is also smart and hilarious, and has no filter and says whatever is on her mind. She is so real and relatable that she made me feel like maybe I'd even have a chance with a gorgeous actor, but then I remember that I am in fact married and I'm almost positive he wouldn't approve.

Peaches Monroe works in a bookstore, and one day while at work she literally falls into the arms of an extremely handsome stranger. She comes to find out that this isn't just any gorgeous man, this is THE Dalton Deangelo, TV's bad-boy vampire, Drake Cheshire.

I refuse to tell anymore of the story because you need to experience it for yourselves...it is truly that good!!! This is a definite MUST READ and I am actually begging you to read it; you will not regret it! Both of the main characters are hilarious and literally had me laughing out loud!

This book ends in a cliffhanger and in normal cases that would bother me but it really isn't a horribly mean one and I promise that this book is worth it!

"Those gorgeous lips of his began to move. "Let's just be two souls tonight. Two souls who are made of stardust, and found their way back to each other, the way they were destined to."

"Either way, my runway was wet and ready for him to land his big plane. Woohoo, down here, Mr. Pilot! Get ready for splashdown!"

"Dalton pulled his hips away from me slightly, allowing some space between us. "I'm sorry to hear that. And I'm doubly sorry to be poking my boner into your belly button while you're telling me this very personal story." He frowned down at the fencepost-region. "Not cool, bro."
