Tour and Review

 

Synopsis

Drugs, Sex and EDM

It had all the makings of a perfect plot, and for bestselling author Lila Keaton-it was a hedonistic past she kept hidden far away. Many nights were spent crossing the velvet rope, dancing until dawn and bedding one of the worlds biggest DJ’s, Hunter Michaels AKA Arial Assault.

When Lila’s agent uncovers her thrilling secret, it appears as if nothing is off limits when it comes to pitching the story, whether Lila wants to tell it or not. Despite knowing her reluctance is career suicide, she cannot bring herself to open her heart once more to the man who nearly destroyed it.

Given the opportunity to escape her predicament, Hunter attempts to reconcile the pain he has caused, and rekindle the passion that was abandoned long ago. When a series of events causes history to repeat itself, Lila sets off unaccompanied through out the west to test her boundaries with the sensual and surreal, and ultimately come face to face with the only thing that can keep her from falling.

 

Virginia’s Review

Congrats to JL on a fantastic book!! Falling Stars (The B Side) is a great story with some great messages.

I really enjoyed Lila’s journey of self-discovery and finding what it takes to make herself happy. Her journey was definitely filled with so many ups and downs; so many good moments and a lot of disappointments as well. Lila found herself in a lot of difficult situations; some brought on by herself; some not. I don’t agree with all of her choices. But it was her journey and she needed to go through it all.

Falling Stars is very well written with a fantastic plot. I loved the behind the scenes look into the world of music and DJs, something I was not familiar with. And the ending. Holy crap. I never saw that coming. At all. What a great plot twist! Great job on that JL!!

I loved Hunter. There were a few times I didn’t like him much and wanted to smack him but he wound up surprising me and I’m glad he did. And Grant- oh boy. Yeah. I won’t get into him. Just read it.

I came away from this book with a few of the messages:

  • We can’t let the past hold us back. There is always better ahead for us; we need to learn from the past and move on.
  • “Adaptability is a trait of a survivor” is a line in the book. We need to be flexible in life and that’s something I need to work on.
  • When we look back on our lives, we need to think of what we had; the good not the bad.

 

Thank you JL for these messages, for a great story and for sharing your writing and storytelling abilities with us. I loved Falling Stars (The B Side).
