SHOOTING STARS by Wendy McCuthbert
Rating: *Go-go boots (with rhinestones)
Reviewed by: Sweet Feet
Author Wendy McCuthbert does it again with her latest crossover sci-fi romance, Shooting Stars. She turns the genre on its head, giving us a shy, anxious hero and a kick-ass, smart-ass heroine who saves him over and over again. And it works. When Alexa’s not fighting off the uber gross aliens chasing her renegade ship, she’s wooing Micah by playing the latvel (kind of like a cello, which earned bonus points from me).
Even if you think you’re not into beta heroes, give this one a try. Yeah, Micah starts out a total SNAG (sensitive new age guy) but by the end of the book, he’s kicking some ass and keeping up with Alexa. Plus his kisses will make you sweat.
Just put on your prom shoes and read it. Trust me.
*Rating Scale:
◆ Birks - lots of emotion and navel-gazing
◆ Wing Tips - bossy but irresistible heroes
◆ Crocs - Funny heroes, imperfect heroines (yay reality!)
◆ Vans – testy heroes full of smarcasm.
◆ Go-go boots - my highest rating: perfection.
