Falling stars are supposed to be a lucky sign, but not for Austen. Her new job as a secretary in an international games company isn't off to a good start. Her first assignment—decorating the Christmas tree in the lobby—results in a trip to the ER after Dee, the company's second-in-command, gets hit by the star-shaped tree topper.

Dee blames her instant attraction to Austen on her head wound, not the magic of the falling star. She's determined not to act on it, especially since Austen has no idea that Dee is practically her boss.

Contains mature themes.

Review of 'Under a Falling Star' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A solid mix of characters and main love interests who actually talk through their issues?? This was a mostly low angst romance, bordering on instalove… the timeline of their story spans about a year(?) but somehow it all felt fast. I loved the circumstances of their first night together, and how the title was tied into both the beginning and ending of the book. The acting choices Abby Craden made for every character were perfect, though It seems like she mixed up the names of two characters in chapter 25 by saying, “Dawn is our COO” instead of Dee.

Just one qualm: sure, Dee is demanding and abrasive, but it was unclear how such fantastical rumors could possibly take hold at their workplace. Wendy jumped out the window?? If the company had a farewell party for Wendy when she moved, how could that rumor possibly persist?

I’ll be looking forward …

I’ll be looking forward to the short follow up story Jae released about this pairing.
