Star Dust by Emma Barry/Genevieve Turner

October 24, 2020 by Malin 5 Comments

Official book description: Houston, 1962   Anne-Marie Smith wanted normal: a loving husband, two beautiful kids, and a well-kept house. But when she catches her husband cheating, she decides that normal isn’t worth it. Now in a new city with a new job, she’s trying to find her new normal—but she knows it doesn’t include the sexy playboy astronaut next door.   Commander Kit Campbell has a taste for fast: fast cars, fast planes, and even faster women.

Come a late night returning from work travel, and this one got picked up until I finished. It was quick and fun. What more could you ask for?
