    5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely adored this book.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    I absolutely adored this book. It’s a truly wonderful read! The story feels so real, as if it could happen to anyone, anywhere.
    Lyra is a bright, cheerful, sunshine-filled soul with a heart full of dreams. She left medical school in her third year to follow her passion for photography, despite her parents’ disappointment—a decision that would change her life in ways she never expected.
    Guy Walker, on the other hand, carries a quiet sadness. He doesn’t believe he deserves happiness, even though those who truly know him would disagree. Once a famous musician, he has since fallen on hard times. His relationship with his mother and sister is strained, as they still hold him responsible for their brother’s loss.
    Lyra and Guy first crossed paths seven years ago, before life took them on separate journeys. Now, fate brings them together again—she’s a wedding photographer at a hen party, and he’s the charming naked butler. Their paths continue to intertwine, especially when he takes on the role of a wedding singer at Earl’s Castle, where Lyra regularly photographs weddings.
    Over time, their meetings become more than coincidences. He steps in to rescue her from a tipsy wedding guest, and she shields him from painful remarks about his past. A connection begins to bloom, turning into something truly special.
    This story is filled with warmth, love, and second chances. I wholeheartedly recommend getting a copy—you’ll fall in love with it, just like I did!

    -Light Spoilers-

    Catch a Falling Star by Laura Carter is an sweet second-chance romance that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you rooting for the main characters. The story follows Lyra, a wedding photographer, and Guy, a former rock star, as they navigate their messy pasts, comedic mishaps, and a growing connection that neither of them expected.

    The novel opens with a pivotal moment seven years ago in Madrid, where Lyra, a lifelong fan of the rock band The Hand Me Downs, attends a concert. It’s here that she locks eyes with Guy, The bands song writer and guitarist. This fleeting, magical moment sets the stage for a potential meeting, only for Lyra to receive a phone call that alters the course of her life forever. At the same time, Guy has his own life-changing experience. Their paths don’t cross, and both carry the weight of their personal struggles and trauma as they go their separate ways—until, years later, fate brings them back together.

    Guy, now at rock bottom, is trying to piece his life back together after the collapse of his career. Meanwhile, Lyra is working hard to carve out her own path in the world. Despite her family's expectations that she follow in their footsteps and become a doctor, Lyra is determined to pursue her true passion as a documentary photographer. Her journey is a balancing act of personal growth and professional aspiration, but when she crosses paths with Guy, things take a turn in the most unexpected ways.

    Their reunion is marked by an endless string of hilarious, sometimes awkward, wedding season mishaps. Lyra and Guy’s connection grows amid the chaos. There’s a lovely slow burn to their relationship—one built on humor, vulnerability, and a shared understanding of the pain that both carry from their pasts. As they help each other work through their trauma and learn to embrace the possibilities of the future, their chemistry blossoms, and their love story becomes a beautiful exploration of healing and self-acceptance.

    Carter does an excellent job of balancing lighthearted humor with deeper, more poignant themes. Lyra and Guy's relationship develops gradually, with moments of intense emotional depth mixed with laugh-out-loud comedic moments that will have readers grinning. The chemistry between the characters is felt by the reader, even when the romance is kept closed-door.

    I really enjoyed the slow burn aspect of this book as well as the second-chance romance trope. Both characters must reckon with their pasts before they can fully embrace their future together. They learn what it means to love and be loved, understanding that happiness isn’t a destination but a journey—one they’ll embark on together.

    Overall, Catch a Falling Star is a heartwarming and charming tale about love, forgiveness, and finding your way in life despite the obstacles that stand in your path. With its mix of humor, romance, and emotional depth, Laura Carter has crafted a story that will resonate with anyone who believes in second chances and the power of healing.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Too Short!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2025

    I was delighted with this story! I was honestly surprised it was less than 300 (ebook) pages long; the story was well-laid out enough that it was more thorough than others I’ve read with similar page counts.

    I very much enjoyed reading about something akin to a “second chance” so many years later, although the “first chance” was kind of a reach, given where our two MCs were in their lives. It was also interesting how the author made “That Night” such a pivotal point for both characters.

    I look forward to more books from Laura Carter!

    Beautiful, heartbreaking, and life-affirming!

    "She's my longest day of the year. My favourite day of the year. And she's pulling me in like gravity. A force I can't see, one that's hard to explain, but it's real, it exists, and I'm powerless to stop it."

    I loved everything about Lyra and Guy's story - the first time they saw each, their meet-cute, and the way their relationship evolved. No matter how hard Guy kept telling himself to keep away, he was just so drawn to her - almost against his will. The frisson between them whenever they were together was electrifying. I adored Lyra's soft, sympathetic heart - it felt like she understood Guy, without really knowing much about him. They carried emotional, guilty burdens, and they both needed to learn to shed those burdens before they could really move forward.

    "When you're ready to let me in, I'll be here for all of it. The good, the bad and the downright chavvy."

    The characters in this book felt so real. There were so many moments in this story that made them real - humorous, gritty, awkward, emotional, seductive, angsty, and downright romantic! Oh my heart! The sheer romance near the conclusion of this book gave me all the feels! At the start of this story, Guy was so emotionally broken that it was so beautiful to see how far he'd come by the end. A fabulous book and thoroughly recommend!

    This was such a sweet and fun second-chance romance! I really enjoyed following Lyra and Guy’s journey. The wedding setting was adorable, and the forced proximity made for some really fun and awkward moments that helped build their chemistry. I liked how both characters were trying to figure out their lives—Lyra dealing with pressure from her family and Guy trying to move past his rockstar days. Some of Guy’s behavior frustrated me at times, and I didn’t love that Lyra forgave her family so easily, but their growth made up for it. Their connection felt real and developed nicely over the course of the story. I also liked the emotional depth—especially with Guy and his brother. It gave the romance more heart. Overall, this was a light, emotional, and charming read, perfect for fans of slow-burn love stories with a sprinkle of wedding season magic. A great summer pick!
