ABOUT THE BOOK
Star Youngblood has always been a fighter—a necessity after her mother married a monster of a man. Now, she's finally on the path to the stable life she's always wanted. Her employer, Priscilla Kelly, is a sweet woman ravaged by rheumatoid arthritis, and Star will do anything to help her. Even if that means going toe to toe with Mrs. Kelly's neglectful son.
After being betrayed on the mission field and devastated by the tragic death of his father, Paul Kelly gave up on God. He lives life on his own terms, biding his time as a corporate pilot until he can save enough money to begin his own flight school closer to home. His mother is all he has left, and he wants to be near her. He just didn't expect her health to decline so quickly. When he discovers his mother has taken in a stray—a woman he's not at all sure can be trusted—his protective instincts kick into high gear. Paul's handled a lot of turbulence, but he's never gone up against a force like Star.
As Paul and Star strive to protect his mother in their own ways, they soon find their hearts are at the greatest risk.

MY REVIEW
Contemporary readers, Janet W. Ferguson once again adds a story to her Coastal Hearts series that you do not want to skip.
In Star Rising, Star Youngblood and Paul Kelly come together because of the health of Priscilla Kelly—her boss and his mother. The situation brings out the need of both Star and Paul to lovingly protect her, but by no means does that correlate to them actually getting along with each other. Still, entertaining mishaps ensue, sparking great conversation, transformation, and romance.
The story between Star and Paul balances lighthearted moments with more serious ones well, making it easily engaging. I enjoyed seeing more of Star (find some of her backstory in The Art of Rivers), as well as the trajectory of Paul’s growth. It all proves fun and heartfelt and did not leave me disappointed.
