Star Struck (Struck series #1) By Amber Garza

Wednesday, October 9th-Finished

When I read the synopsis of this book I thought I was going to not like Beckett and I was going to feel sorry for Star the whole book.

Well wasn't I surprised when I actually read this book and became a fan of Beckett quickly.The misunderstood bad boy just wanting to not be let down **sigh**.

Star Struck alternated between Star and Beckett's POV and it was done almost scene for scene, so we understood what was happening in both their heads at all times.

Star was infatuated with Beckett from the first time she heard his voice. He didn't carry the usual look of the guys that she went for, but now she compared everyone to him and no one could measure up in her thoughts. 

Beckett knew he had to stay away from Star because she was the kind of girl that could prevent him from his dream. This becomes hard when she now is part of his band. 

"Star, I've never understood how my dad could choose a woman over his lifelong dream. But then I met you, and I could tell that you were the kind of girl a guy would give everything up for. "

These two had a great connection on and off the stage, the dialogue between these two had me laughing at times as it matched right along with my easy sense of humour.

"See the star closest to the moon? The brightest one in the sky? That's Sirius."
"Okay, well then I will take it seriously."
"Not serious," I say with a slight giggle under my words. "Sirius is what the star is called.``

Beckett had held people at a distance for so long, he wasn`t sure what would come from opening up all his scars to Star. He was worried she would leave him and he knew he wouldn`t be able to take that kind of heart ache again.

``I  know I did the right thing. I may not have been able to save the girl who meant everything to me once upon a time, but at least I can save this one. maybe this is some sort of redemption.``

I couldn't put this book down and since I happened to suffer from insomnia last night, this book came up across my sights at the perfect time.

Great job again Amber Garza...I think you have a fan now...don't quote me on this. **wink wink**

Throughout Star Struck, we had the pleasure of getting some sneak peaks into Lola and Rykers relationship which happens to be what book 2 is about.

SO...

Now onto my next Blog about my next book in the series, Love Struck.
