Patricia Leavy brings readers yet another enthralling romance drama with Shooting Stars Above. When Tess Lee meets Jack Miller on a chance encounter in a bar, neither can deny the intense attraction to each other. Soon, a blossoming romance turns into love, and the two fall head over heels for each other. Jack is an FBI agent with a background in Special Forces in the military. He has battle scars that show a man embroiled in violence in the past. Additionally, he lost his daughter a few months ago. Jack learns that Tess is a renowned author and a billionaire with a penchant for charity. But she is haunted by her past which is mired in childhood trauma and abuse. A blast from the past almost makes Tess lose herself again. Can she and Jack find their happily ever after?
Shooting Stars Above is a contemporary romance drama that touches upon some heavy topics such as PTSD, child abuse, and sexual assault. At its heart, this is a story about human resilience and love helping two people overcome their past scars. Keeping a nice pace to the plot, Patricia Leavy crafts a riveting narrative that shows the healing power of love and how it helps wounded souls become whole once again. Most of the book features Jack and Tess together on the page. The two main characters match each other in charisma and heart and have amazing chemistry. Even the secondary characters like Omar and Joe are compelling to read. I found the ending very satisfying and, overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. For readers of contemporary romance and drama, this book will sate all your appetites.
