Genres: Contemporary Romance

It’s never too late…

Lyra Clarkson has built a career capturing other people’s perfect moments. She loves her work as a wedding photographer – despite her family’s disapproval – but she’s never quite found her own path.

Guy Walker, former rock star turned wedding singer, has hit a new low. Desperately needing cash, he’s agreed to take any gig his manager can get him, even if this new form of entertainment isn’t just singing.

As Lyra and Guy’s paths cross – in the most bizarre way possible – an unexpected kiss will change everything. But was it simply a chance encounter or is fate bringing them back together?

Now forced into each other’s lives for the entire wedding season, the unlikely pair may just figure out together how to realise both their dreams…

A heartwarming and sharply funny romance about second chances, perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Tessa Bailey!

my review


Catch a Falling Star is a warm, witty second-chance romance that had me smiling, swooning, and occasionally laughing out loud. With its blend of playful banter, simmering chemistry, and emotional heart, it hits all the right notes for a feel-good romantic read.

Guy and Lyra make a magnetic pair—he’s charming with that irresistible rugged edge, and she’s fiery, intelligent, and unforgettable. Their dynamic crackles with tension, and their shared history adds depth to every moment they spend on the page. The push-and-pull between them is perfectly paced, mixing heartfelt emotion with flirty back-and-forth and just enough angst to keep things interesting.

Laura Carter’s writing style is light and engaging, with plenty of humor woven throughout. The comedic moments—whether through awkward encounters or sharp one-liners—never feel overdone, offering just the right counterbalance to the more serious themes of forgiveness and growth.

While I didn’t quite fall head-over-heels, this was still a highly enjoyable romance that delivered exactly what I wanted: heart, laughs, and a love story worth rooting for. For fans of second-chance love with spark, heart, and plenty of charm, Catch a Falling Star is well worth adding to your TBR.

A bookstore owner stalks an author.

The author threatens to call the police.

Then actually does.

Somehow this turns into a romance and I loved every minute of it. 😂

Jasmine and River were chaotic, stubborn, funny, and completely perfect together. Their banter carried this entire book for me.

Also, River trusting Jasmine when everyone else was questioning her? That man knew exactly who she was.

I loved how Liza and Cassian slowly became part of each other's everyday lives before romance really took center stage. They were so comfortable together and completely made me smile.

And Alaric's formal complaint? I laughed so hard I nearly spit out my drink. 😂

I cannot wait for the next trip back to Blackthorn Bay!

Bridger was the Rogue Pack wolf I most wanted to k Bridger was the Rogue Pack wolf I most wanted to know more about, and his story absolutely delivered. We've seen glimpses of him throughout the series—always keeping his distance while still showing up when it mattered most. Finally learning the truth behind his past and the loss he carries was heartbreaking.

Kit was not at all who I expected for Bridger, but she ended up being exactly what he needed. Their story felt a little different from the other books in the series, focusing more on healing, guilt, and emotional growth than outside conflict. I actually loved that change of pace.

The Rogue Pack's matchmaking antics had me shaking my head and laughing at the same time, and as always, the pack dynamics were one of my favorite parts of the book.

A sweet, emotional paranormal romance filled with heart, healing, and one grumpy wolf who finally gets the happiness he deserves. 🐺
