Bring Down the Stars

Emma Scott — 2018

I fell for Connor Drake. I didn't want to; I fought against it, but I fell in love with him anyway. With his words. With his poetry. With him. The gentleness and beauty of his soul that speaks directly to mine. He writes as if he can feel my heart, hear its cadence and compose the exact right lyrics to accompany every beat and flow. I'm in love with Connor...so why do I feel an inexplicable pull to his best friend, Weston? Grouchy, sullen, brooding Weston Turner, who could cut you down with a look. Fiercely intelligent with a razor sharp wit and acid tongue, he's the exact opposite of Connor in every way, and yet there's electricity in the air between us. The thorny barbs Weston wraps around himself can't keep me away. But the more time I spend with these men, the more tangled and confused my emotions become. When they both sign up for the Army Reserves during a time of increasing strife in the Middle East, I fear I'll never unravel my own heart that sometimes feels as if it will tear straight down the middle...for both of them. ********** Bring Down the Stars is an emotional, angst-filled novel of unrequited love by bestselling author, Emma Scott, and is inspired by the classic tale, Cyrano de Bergerac. (Roxanne) It is Book I in the Beautiful Hearts Duet, coming this summer. Book II, Long Live the Beautiful Hearts, to be released a few weeks later. THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL LOVE TRIANGLE

Date read: January 26-January 28, 2020 Actual Rating: 4.50 STARS This, I'm definitely positive, is one of the most beautiful writings I've ever read. I loved how I fell for each and every poetic words that were filled with so much emotions. I can feel the deep meanings embedded with every words. I can feel all kinds of emotions, every sting, every pound and every beat of the characters' hearts. And Weston Turner? Oh, god! My heart is seriously throbbing so damn fast with each and every words he says. His thoughts, his feelings. I loved how he loves all of his people so deeply, how he always defined himself as selfish when he was totally the opposite of the word. I loved how every choice of his words can accurately hit everyone in the feels. I loved his letters. I loved his poems. I loved his pure and genuine love for Connor and for Autumn. I just loved that he feels too much. So much beauty in a book. This one definitely created a spot in my heart.
