Don't ask me how this book ended up on my wish list, much less in my cart, because I honestly don't remember. Of course, I HAD to put it there. But I'm sure glad I did. I love to read debut novels, it absolutely thrills me. Especially when I get my hands on a good book like "Falling Star". I can't compliment Diana Dempsey enough on her first effort. She's very knowledgeable about the world of television news network, and she definitely has a way with prose to create a writing style of her very own. The ups and downs in the life of TV news anchor, Natalie Daniels, will make a reader want to keep going, page after page, to see what can possibly happen next to this woman. It's a great plot with great characters, well written, and a great read.
I just this evening ordered two other novels written by Diana Dempsey. That's how impressed with her talent that I am.
Congrats, Diana, on a job well done.

I really enjoyed this novel by Diana Dempsey. I have read many things as a mid thirties male and I never recall that I ever had any interest in reading a romantic novel. However, after purchasing a new kindle, I looked for both top selling paid and free books and this book was one of the top free ebooks avaialble from Amazon.com. I browsed through the description and thought, you know, this might be interesting. As a guy, I have long held an interest in news and communications and most guys will tell you they are addicted to the news and the media, so perhaps this might be a good match as the story was centered around a newscaster. After a quick download, I was really taken aback at how easy it was to connect with Diana's characters and how expertly done the character development was. By the end of the novel, you could really relate to Natalie and her struggles and as a guy, I could really relate to the massive conflict in Geoff's life.
One thing that is nice about Diana's writing style is that there are just enough details to paint a good picture of the scenes and the surroundings without being too verbose. This makes the pacing fun and fast and doesn't really drag down or slow the tempo of the story at all. Some authors go off the deep end with the details and that can really bog a story down.
Falling Star has been one of the more entertaining novels I have read in a long time. Although I prefer miltary and espionage novels mostly, it was nice to read something fun and this book is not just another romantic novel. Its a crazy thrill ride that makes you hanging on for the next crazy development. I have to say that once I started to read Falling Star, I couldn't put it down and after I finished, I purchased all of Diana's books. I hope you will love this fun, thrilling, sexy and crazy story as much as I did and I look forward to more of Diana's works.
