Lyra McKendrick is a former hotshot, New England defense
attorney. She moves back to her small, touristry hometown after a terrible
breakup. Lyra finds herself working at the local new-age shop that neighbors
her twin’s store. When a historic tree damages the shop’s plumbing, she
reluctantly calls the one person who can help. Lyra and Cypress have history,
one she wants to remain firmly in the past. However, fate has other plans.
Cypress “Cy” Forrester comes from a family of arborists. Around
town, the locals refer to him as “Cy the Tree Guy”. When Lyra calls him about a
tree problem, Cypress comes to her aid. Seeing her again reminds Cy of their
past encounter, one he never forgotten. He likes Lyra’s prickly, no-nonsense
nature, but she is not interested in a relationship. However, fate keeps tempting
them by crossing their paths.
I like how Lyra is not as perfect as people believed. She
has her own set of problems to confront and deal with. At first, especially in
BAZAAR GIRLS, I did not like her that much. Lyra came off too cold and vitriolic
for my tastes. However, my opinion of her changed near the end of book three.
I LOVE that Cy is a closet gamer and fantasy nerd. I
freely admit to geeking out on the many Dungeons and Dragons references. It
made me fall head over heels in love with him. Now if only he was into anime… LOL.
I am not that familiar with LEAGUE OF LEGENDS, just the name because it is my
oldest son’s favorite game.
STAR-CROSSED is the fourth installment in Kerrigan Byrne
and Cynthia St. Aubin’s romantic-comedy series, TOWNSEND HARBOR. This series
needs to be read in proper order. The story picks up after the events in
BAZZAAR GIRLS, book three. The couples from the previous three books crop up continuously
throughout the story. FYI – Gabe still makes me swoon!
I like how this series centers around characters who
suffer from real life problems. They are less-than-perfect, and that makes them
so identifiable. This book touches on autism and prosthesis.
I hope this is not the end of Townsend Harbor. Kiki, Cy’s
sister, needs a book!
