Description

It's been two years since Kate Evans unexpectedly lost her husband and one year since her aunt Cassandra stepped in and moved Kate and her son back to Colorado to start a new life. Just when Kate is starting to get comfortable in her new reality, three very different men enter her life. Alec is young, easygoing, and up for anything. Nate is a divorced dad who is steady, reliable, and everything Kate should want. Jess is quite literally the boy next door, not to mention a real-life movie star straight from every girl's dreams. Is she really ready to jump into the dating scene again? Or does she stay in the same safe place free from heartache? In between braving water slides to cheating at croquet, Kate is forced to confront things she'd rather leave buried, along with the possibility of a new love that is exactly what she needs. Aspen Marie Hadley loves nothing more than a great story. She has devoted herself to storytelling for the majority of her life, writing her first novel at her kitchen table in the eighth grade. Aside from writing for her own enjoyment, Aspen has blogged and for a time wrote The Aspen Adventure Series that she would email around to family and friends, sharing her tales of accidental escapades. Aspen has been supplied with endless fodder for her stories through her work at a dry cleaner, as a waitress, as a dental office manager, executive assistant, transcriptionist, and working on an 800-line taking customer messages while attending Utah State University. Aspen shares her life with a patient husband, four hilarious children, and one grumpy dog in a quiet Utah suburb next to her beloved mountains. Simply Starstruck is her debut novel.xa0You can find her at aspenmariehadley.com, on Facebook at facebook. com/aspenthewriter/ and Instagram @aspenhadley_author. Author Residence: Utah

Very funny author.

I didn’t know there were rom com books. Until I read Aspen’s latest book which I would rate 5+ stars. It so stinking funny. After that I ordered her first 4 books which were all a good read. Can’t wait to read next year’s book.

If you love Romantic Comedies, you’ll love this!

Such a fun, heart racing, great book! I loved it! The whole idea of the story is everyone’s “what if” dream! I smiled while reading and laughed out loud, and read as fast as I could at parts to find out what was going to happen! And I re-read a few parts because I liked them so much. What great writing! It makes me want a romance!

Adorably cute

Kate, a 29 year-old widow, mother to an 8 year-old boy, is short, quirky, curvy, clumsy, and the opposite of Hollywood material. But, as she re-enters the dating world, she stumbles upon love where she least expects it, all the while harboring fear in the thought she’d possibly lose someone important to her again.

I laughed out loud, I felt my heart strings tug. Ah! This read was so adorable! I stumbled upon it on my Amazon recommendations. If you’re in dire need of a palette cleanser from your heavy reads and you happen to be a fan of Christina Lauren, READ THIS. You’ll thank me later.

Simply great!

I just finished Simply Starstruck ❤️. I bought it on prime day and was looking for a fun fast read that I could get lost in. It delivered! But what was a surprise to me was the depth . I have to admit I was a little uncomfortable at the beginning of the book by Kate’s internal monologues about her looks and body. Yet as Kate healed and rediscovered herself you could see the shift. You could see the change in how she though others viewed her too. She still had her insecurities to some extent, but I loved watching her grow!

What a fun easy read. It kept me going and excited the whole time. I didn't want to put it down and read it in just a couple days. Laughed out loud, so much of real crazy life! I loved it so much I can't wait to read it again. The author describes with great detail, I can picture the whole story in my mind. Can't wait to read more from Aspen Hadley!
