Amber Stokes
I almost never read contemporary fiction It just doesn t interest me the way fantasy or historical do, but I was intrigued by the premise and mystery of Amber s story Once I started, it drew me right in, and I read the whole thing in one sitting It is wonderfully written, and the romance is adorable I loved that it was written almost all from the guy s point of view Derrick was a great character, and Amber did a great job fleshing him out She also perfectly captured how, when you reach adulthood [...]
To be sure, I don t often read contemporary fiction Still, knowing how well the author wrote historical fiction, I decided to give this a try, especially since it looked like a little fantasy was thrown in Once again, she writes the time era with absolute ease When some movie or music was brought up, I was like, Oh yeah, I ve heard of that I must say, I had a lot of trouble with how Brielle so willingly put herself in dangerous or at least awkward situations Well, I thought, she is a star and th [...]
This sweet romantic novella, How a Star Falls, starts off with a magical question about stars voiced by Derrick as a young boy I was captured right off by the author s intelligent voice, and the fact that this story had me wondering for a while if it was a straight romance or a fantasy But when the story quickly leapt to Derrick as a college aged man, and when he finds a pretty young woman asleep on a park bench and dressed in a frothy wedding gown, and claiming to be a fallen star, I was ready [...]
njkinnysblog 2015 05 bHow a Star Falls by Amber Stokes is the first book by the author that I have read The beautiful and mysterious cover and the intriguing title were the first things that attracted me towards this book and then the blurb sealed the deal for me.Expecting a fantastical love story, How a Star Falls came as a complete surprise and nothing like my assumptions The idea behind the story is great but the execution didn t come up to the mark Somehow I didn t connect to the characters [...]
And here we have the latest fiction release from Amber Stokes But, wait, it s a completely new genre Her other books, like Forget Me Not and Bleeding Heart, were my favorite genre inspirational historical.How a Star Falls, however, is my second favorite genre contemporary romance So no longer do her characters at least in this book live and love in the 19th century Now her hero and heroine are just like you and me They live, they go to college, they have cell phones, and they have to deal with t [...]
Though not long in length How a Star Falls casts an utterly delightful spell Derrick Knolane is a young man, finished with college and disappointed in how life has panned out afterwards, working in a music store, and living with a horrible roommate When suddenly he meets Brielle, a girl in a beautiful dress claiming to be a fallen star At first he thinks that she is crazy, but as he get s to know her he comes to realize that she might be just what he needs.I fairly devoured this delightfully cha [...]
Review to be posted on i blog 4 books 11 24 2014 iblog4books 2014 I m happy to see another book from Amber Stokes, and I have to say that How a Star Falls was a delightful read Amber s previous books have been western historicals, and I was impressed that she managed to bring all of the things I loved about those books into a contemporary new adult story The story is very sweet and a bit mysterious Derrick is an all around nice guy who steps out of his comfort zone to befriend Brielle I wasn t s [...]
I had the privilege of reading an advance copy of this wonderful story and can I just say how sweet it is For a novella, it packs quite a bit of heart and sweetness into just a few pages Ms Stokes branches out beyond her usual historical genre and tries her hand beautifully I might add at contemporary romance Derrick is a young man who is still trying to figure out what he wants in life Which is extremely easy to relate to, for haven t we all struggled with that very question And when Brielle su [...]
She claims to be a star Not from Hollywood, but from heaven He thinks she s crazy Certainly delusional Yet, he can t just leave her alone on the cliffs So he takes her home These lines sell me the entire book When I signed up to review this book I was super excited, I was expecting a lot from it and I must confess that I loved it.It s a very sweet and enjoyable story and I really liked the mysteriousness added in it, it was brilliant The way it s written is wonderful, the romance is adorable, cu [...]
2.5 starsI received an e book copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.I didn t really like this story It wasn t very memorable for me Here are a few of the reasons I didn t like it The romance was cute and fun but didn t seem very real to me Also, I thought the contemporary references seemed rather forced at the beginning.The ending wasn t what I was expecting view spoiler I mean I thought she was going to really be a star It was the only explanation for certain things she did before, [...]
This was such a sweet novella I enjoyed both of the characters in the book Derrick was a likeable character, knowing his life choices were getting him nowhere he seemed ready for a change Meeting Brielle seemed to bring out the man in him Rather than staying in his man child ways he started making choices that were much adult and mature Brielle seemed a bit mysterious throughout the story, but I enjoyed her spontaneity She seemed a bit lost, which made her perfect for Derrick How A Star Falls i [...]
I actually enjoyed this book way than I had anticipated The description made me a little leery I mean, a person claiming to be a star from heaven , but I was actually surprised by the story and really liked it The writing style was good and I liked the characters a lot.Overall, I m glad I read How a Star Falls and recommend it if you like clean NA stories I did not get this book for review I won a copy from the author As always, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
Delightful Review to come.
This was a lovely little story It kept me guessing the entire time The characters were imminently likable Can t wait to see what comes next from this author.
Just because we aren t where we want to be doesn t mean that we have failed and are living a shell of a life We can be walking our path and yet need a jolt to open our eyes to what is standing right before us Our future can be seen standing tall and proud just ahead of us on the horizon, but if we have allowed ourselves to become distracted with the perceived lack of progress we are making in the short term, we will lose sight of it and begin questioning ourselves and our own sanity It is way to [...]
When you ve admired and eventually counted as a friend bloggers who have dreamt of entering the publishing world by putting out their own novels, it s a joy to watch them realize that dream and be a shining example of excellence in the all to often brushed aside Indie world of publishing Amber Stokes took us on a journey to the old west with her sweet prairie romances in the Hearts Spring series and has now broken from that pattern to charm us with a new adult novella that is nothing if not swee [...]
I received this ebook through ebooksforreview in exchange for an honest review.I first decided to sign up to review this book because an author I loved recommended it on her Facebook page I hadn t really read the summary, all I knew is that it was about a star girl of some kind I must say that I was surprised when I discovered that the girl said she was a star that had fell from the sky and my curiosity was picked right away As it turned out, it was a very beautiful love story that was well deve [...]
I usually only read historical fiction or historical non fiction I knowI need to branch out a little I was happily surprised to realize that I do enjoy contemporary fiction when it s written right Amber Stokes totally nailed it The story revolves around a twenty four year old young man, Derrick He s a really good and kind guy, but his life isn t what he imagined it to be He works at a music store, has a jerk of a roommate, and feels that his family is trying to run his life Then he meets a girl [...]
I loved this story It is a unique, delightful story unlike anything else I ve ever read The premise was so fun I haven t read much NA fiction in the past, but I found myself relating to so many of the character s struggles in this book I have been a fan of Amber s writing since she released Bleeding Heart, and really looked forward to reading How a Star Falls since before its release, I m so happy I finally made time to read it As well as reading the Kindle version I also listened to the audiobo [...]

3.5 StarsI ve heard really good things about this author and have had her books on my tbr for some time I happily picked up How a Star Falls and delved into the story of a fallen star and the boy who finds her.It was a sweet story of two characters still trying to find their place, to figure out their lives, and to learn that it s never too late to change I liked how they both had different perspectives and challenges I also liked the friendship that formed and then the light romance that follow [...]
How a Star Falls is a delightful, contemporary romance I am such a fan of Amber Stokes historicals, and was excited about her new story and new genre, New Adult I don t normally read New Adult stories, but was so glad for the opportunity to read this one.I enjoyed the charm and whimsy of Derrick and Brielle s story Their struggles, emotions, and vulnerabilities were wonderfully portrayed I also enjoyed the vividness of the seaside setting of Humboldt County How a Star Falls is certainly heartfel [...]
A whimsical novella The premise is really fun, and I loved the plot twist, which took me surprise Other readers might have expected it, though The author has written a warm story that deals with discontentment and how you choose the life you ll life There were a few things about this that kept me from giving it a higher rating One was the romance Though very sweet and impeccably clean, I felt like it moved along too fast And so much of a certain characters actions really didn t make sense after [...]
4.5 StarsI really enjoyed reading this novella The story was really engaging and kept me interested throughout I also loved the characters I found that they were well developed and very believable They felt real and were easy to relate to, even though Brielle claims to be a star from the sky The story did wrap up a bit fast for my taste, but I m glad we got to see what happened to the characters in the epilogue.The scenery the author creates for her story will get you daydreaming for sure P I lo [...]
What a sweet novella I loved the concept and particularly loved Derrick and Brielle My favorite thing about How a Star Falls is how Amber brought hope to readers There were so many parts that resonated with me, especially the beginning and the discussion Derrick has with dad later in the novella The romance was also very sweet I have to admit that I was surprised by the ending I didn t expect it, but Amber handled it beautifully and was glad she didn t rush it.Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this n [...]
This was a fairy quick and sweet read I enjoyed the story, but it seemed to be building up to an ending that just wasn t there Don t get me wrong, the ending was sweet, but the whole story prepared me for an amazing ending Instead I just felt like it was rushed.However, I will definitely be trying some of the author s other books since I have heard some really good things about them
How a Star Falls reviewPros This was such a wonderful, heartwarming novella.I really related to this story I identified with Derrick and Brielle s struggle to choose the right career This novella showed the importance of patience and endurance, as you try to find your path.I also really like how the author incorporated three of my favorite things stars, the ocean, and Owl City into the story.All in all this was a delightful contemporary read.Cons None This was a clean, cute read.My rating 5 out [...]
