Blurb:

If Dream Man never comes knocking, at least she’ll own the door. That’s 28-year-old paralegal Karen’s new plan, anyhow, to buy her own home, and the reason she’s been working every weekend-- until she bends to her best friend’s pressure to spend a Saturday at the wave pool. Determined not to be derailed by another dead-end relationship, she avoids looking at the cute curly-haired guy—his friends call him Spence-- carousing out in the waves. But the tide turns as she’s caught unaware, a wave pool virgin on her first time in, and swept into a head-on collision with one of his friends. When she manages to stand and open her eyes, the world has disappeared. She sees only Spence surrounded by dancing stars. Has she been knocked silly, or is he gazing right back at her?

Review:

Karen Gabriel has sworn off men, or so she thought. But who can ignore cute guys in swimming trunks, especially when one of those guys is Dylan Spenser who actually seems to take an interest in her? Throw in a best friend, a wave pool, and a freak accident and you have all the makings of a good story.

Stars in Her Eyes is a cute tale of love at first sight. The characters are realistic and lovable while the plot is intriguing. Unfortunately, the story's good qualities end there. The book ends abruptly, leaving the reader feeling cheated and the story unfinished. This book would make a wonderful introduction to a longer book, but alone, it leaves much to be desired. There is no closure to the story. In fact, it seems as if the story has only just begun.

Another problem with the book is the flowery phrases used by the author. While the phrases sound beautiful and poetic, they are difficult to read and understand. They also interrupt the overall flow of the story.

Stars in Her Eyes is a charming story beginning, but with all the other good books out there, it would be low on my list of books to read.
