From the start, all I wanted was you. From the start, little did I know, you wanted me too.
An underlying current has always existed between us. An undeniable bond that keeps me tethered to my best friend. My person.
The man I have loved in secret for years.
I’ve wanted to tell him how I feel. Countless times, I’ve considered crossing the line but have resisted.
I’d rather love him in secret than lose him forever.
Over the years, we’ve avoided relationship conversations. Kept our rendezvous to ourselves.
But now, the subject is inescapable.
As his family pressures him to find a suitable match, he concocts a plan to appease them. Fake date the wealthy woman his parents set him up with… who happens to be in love with someone else.
When he relays the news, my hurt is written all over my face. Over and over, he promises me it’s not real.
Regardless, seeing them together twists my insides.
…until he pins me against my car and shows me where his heart truly lies.
As our love story begins, one test after another is thrown at us. As we fall deeper in love, our world becomes a living, breathing nightmare.

Fallen Stars by Persephone Autumn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Oliver has (in his words) “a deep affection for Levi. Oliver’s second love is making music. Levi has been in love with his best friend, his other half, for a long time. Everybody has a person and Ollie is Levi’s.
This was not a feel good, happy story. Trauma (mental and physical), PTSD, homophobia, and deep anxiety were all expressed in this book. It was deeply disturbing in parts and the violence was pretty graphic.
That being said, I thought Levi and Oliver were engaging characters. Their demeanor with each other was mostly sweet, (with a lot of soulful pining). Oliver was definitely a rock star when it came to his treatment of Levi. Their friends and Oliver’s family made a really good support system.
Would I have benefited from reading the other book in the series? Maybe. But having read the synopsis’ of the other books, I have a basic understanding of what’s going on. The confusion was momentary and this book could probably be a standalone.

MEET THE AUTHOR: USA Today Best-Selling Author Persephone Autumn lives in sunny Florida with her wife, crazy dog, and two lover-boy cats, and she’s never far from her daughter or grandpup. She’s an avid lover of ethnic food, especially Asian, and has fun discovering ways to veganize her favorite non-vegan foods. If given the option, she would get lost in nature on purpose.
For several years, she’s always done some form of writing. After pairing her poetry with images and posting them on social media, she received peer praise and started her novel writing journey.
Although her core style is romance, Persephone dips her toes in other genres from time to time. All stories deserve for their voice to be heard and she plans to write where the characters lead her.
