    About this audiobook

    Bell and Stuart could hardly be more different, so socially removed from one another they wouldn’t normally ever cross paths — and yet, in the aftermath of a random street crime, they do. Bell is wounded, daring, desperate, and beautiful — and she blazes into Stuart’s life, disrupting his careful structure of self-protection. A night of falling stars and fiddle music isn’t enough to bridge enormous social chasms, however, and efforts to reach out to another are too easily misunderstood. Bell and Stuart’s path to breaking down the barriers between them is not easy, but the struggle only makes their shared triumph that much sweeter in the end.

    Iris Forester

    Iris Forester is never happier than when she’s tossed everything aside to follow one of the story threads that cross her path. She shares her home place with eagles, ravens and owls — but also makes time every year to spend in New York City. When she’s not writing, Iris works with paint, clay, and various difficult creatures.

      I love this author. She puts herself into her books. This is a short story with a powerful message. It is believable and interesting. Enjoy!
    • 5/5
      A sweet romantic story. Uplifting Bella's quick thinking helps her survive. The short story is one you won't put down, from start to finish.
    • 5/5
      Another heart warming, happily ever after story. Beautifully read. Please keep them coming. I’d love to read full length novels by this author.

      Firstly, the book’s written word is well done (that in which I read). It was the content that I found distasteful; unrealistic imho. Most folks wouldn’t bring an unknown person into their home for an overnight stay (help her, yes, totally; leave his home in her care, no). The tale goes on from there in quite a liberal-leaning semi-political message. Just not for me, though no intent toward insulting the author or other readers.

      I gave this book 1 star because of the use of bad language, but specifically the “f” bomb. Hearing bad language in books turns me off, but the use of the “f” bomb causes me to immediately stop listening/reading! I still had an hour left in the audiobook, but completely lost interest with the completely unnecessary use of bad language. Up to that point, it had been pretty good!
