Ok, so I was a little underwhelmed with this book. That's not to say I didn't like it, it just doesn't compare to The Fixed on You trilogy. I know that it's not fair on the author to do that but when you love a series as much as I loved Fixed it is so hard not to draw comparisons and this book has nothing on that series.Star Struck is a cute story about a diva actress, Heather, who has an immediate attraction to a man named Seth who she meets at a meeting for charity event. That is until she finds out he is a lowly carpenter.....or so he leads her to believe. Seth notices the chemistry between them from the get go but backs off when he gets the cold shoulder from her when she discovers what he does. Wanting to put her in her place, he continues to let her believe he is a carpenter and I bet you can already guess where this is going. I had it figured out by this early point in the book.Seth does eventually crack through Heather's snobby facade to discover an emotionally damaged woman underneath. Divulging details of his own less than stellar past helps Heather to overcome her "issues" with his job title and so their journey together begins. The relationship starts to evolve and of course they fall in love. That is until his lie is uncovered and Heather is crushed by the deception. Seth fights to regain Heathers trust and even though she initially fights him, in the end she realises that he is the one for  her.This is a light read that I would recommend for when you need a break from the heavy stuff. It does get a little slow in spots and is quiet predictable but overall not a bad book.
