I have an eclectic taste in books, they range from the comedically hilarious to the downright raunchy.Once I find an Author and a writing style I become hooked. I found myself very attached to Author J.L. Brooks' book Distractions, she wrote as if you imagine this actually happening to you or someone you know.A lot of Authors write in a 'wish' capacity 'wishing the possiblities of billionaires and virgins who orgasm on command'. J.L. writes realistic stories, captivates you with her characters and sucks you into the world she's created within those pages.For those who know J.L., her life has a lot of variety. One thing you learn about her is music, as a friend of hers, she shared that part of her life with her friends. And in that life you know that the 'DJ' concept is very close to her heart.Falling Stars is a book that sucks you in, Lila Keaton is a bestselling Author who's life isn't turning out how she had planned it to be, stuck in a rut, she needs to find part of her that is missing. Hunter Michaels is a famous DJ, who at one time had been a huge impact on her life, comes back to her just as she needs someone. The connection between the two brings up the events of the past and the reasons why they parted oh so long ago. She needs goodness, she needs to get out of the familiarity and the pain that came with her relationship with Hunter. Lila meets Grant and he's everything she's ever imagined, he's like the perfect book character rolled in a real life man and that puts Lila at ease.Things are never what they seem to be, sometimes going back is the only way you can move forward.I give J.L. Brooks 5 stars, set on fire and blazing for this powerfully written read. Yet again, I have been captivated by a book character and I have to keep reminding myself that Hunter Michaels is a fictional man.
