4.5 STARS Drawn in by gravity, fueled by a fire as old as the universe itself He was never letting her out of his orbit again I ve never been happier to stumble across another book that took me by absolute surprise For that I have to thank my lovely girl, Feifei who brought this to my attention Pretty cover, wonderful blurb and a story that left me reeling with such happiness after putting it down There s a part of me that wants to re read some scenes just to relive all the amazing moments again [...]

I requested When the Stars Align on a whim after glancing at that beautiful cover Then I found out that the book was set in Puerto Rico and also had characters who were scientists and I was even excited to start it Jo was a tough character at times She was a tricky character at first because she guarded her emotions tightly inside and came across as a tough and hard to get through Behind her pierced and tattooed persona though was a just a girl who had never really felt love When she opened up [...]

This book wasgh.It was so cute.I almost forgot how to write a positive review cause it s been so long, lol.I loved everything about this book The heroine reminded me a lot of Stephanie fromIsn t She Lovely She was all sharp edges and hidden vulnerability The hero was a good guy So we have that bad girl good guy scenario Which, I admit, I missed a lot.The book takes place in Puerto Rico The hero and heroine and a bunch of other side characters landed an internship at some famous science facility [...]

2.5 stars I m a fan of romance with science involved, especially between scientists, but I was a bit disappointed in this book I expected it to be a steamy romance with a lot of character development and lots of physics at the Arecibo observatory in Puerto Rico It s a place that ignited my fascination in the movie Contact, so I was really expecting big things here When the Stars Align had all of those elements, but I didn t feel like the science played as much of a part as I wished it would, and [...]

I am a huge fan of Jeanette Grey having read a lot of her earlier stuff, so when I saw this up on Netgalley I couldn t grab it fast enough We first meet Jo on her way to Puerto Rico where she s earned a summer internship working in a prominent science facility She s determined to prove her worth to those that matter she doesn t have time for anything else She s prickly and disagreeable on the outside but there is this amazing vulnerability below the surface and Grey does an amazing job with her [...]

When I first read the synopsis for When the Stars Align, I knew it was something I wanted to read, and could not wait to crack this book openWhen I began reading I did initially like the protagonist, Jo She was strong and determined, and would not let anyone tell her what she could and couldn t do This determination and perseverance landed her a coveted spot in a summer internship at Arecibo, Puerto Rico, doing research at the biggest radio telescope in the world But after the brief introduction [...]

This book came highly recommended, so I was pretty eager to read it I loved Adam instantly He s a genuine and honest guy and being in his head was such a delight I loved seeing him react to Jo I did struggle a bit with Jo She s had a lot of things happen to her and while it is understandable for her to act the way she does, it also made it a little hard for me to get invested Which I m fully aware doesn t make sense However, I loved their relationship and how they grew and changed together, so I [...]

I was given a netgalley ARC of this book from the publisher for an honest review 3.5 stars Overall, I would say that I was mildly surprised by this New Adult novel It certainly had a lot memorable characters, and the writing was decent in every sense The scientific aspect of this novel was appealing, as well as the role the setting played in the story All of the settings from the telescope to the island, were easily imaginable and fit the theme of a summer fling Those who enjoy a steamy romance [...]

You can see this full review and at Book Briefs bookbriefs When the Stars Align is a new adult contemporary romance by Jeanette Grey It follow Jo and Adam, as they travel to Puerto Rico for the summer to take part in a prestigious astronomy program I loved that Jo and Adam at first glance seem like total opposites, but as we get to know them they are really very similar I thought they balanced each other out in all the best ways I really enjoyed their story I should note that my content warning [...]

ARC provided by Forever Romance via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, but in the end, it was just another love story with a bunch of hella hot and steamy scenes, but nothing else I think that Jo s a great character, but I just feel like it was a bit too much sometimes and bit too cliche for me.

4.5 Stars for this contemporary New Adult romance.Jo is a mess of a woman, a junior in college studying astronomy She s just begun a ten week internship at the Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico, and she s not happy to be assigned a female mentor because she s always been pawned off on the lesser scientists, and Jo s serious about making it in astronomy Thing is, Jo s had it rough Her mother died in childbirth, and her father was aloof, distracted or grieving He s a bit of a nightmare, actually, e [...]

I m not even sure I can form a proper review at this point, because I am just so in love with this book, I think I might start it over and read it again I wanted to read this book, because the cover and the summary held my attention and I m so thankful I got to For Josephine Jo Kramer, nothing has ever been easy When she earns a summer internship in Puerto Rico, working at one of the world s preeminent scientific facilities, she ll let nothing distract her Not her own insecurities, not the arrog [...]

This 2.5 stars review was originally published on Latte Nights Reviews.Jo thrives to do better, to be better When an opportunity arises for her to travel to Arecibo, Puerto Rico to do research on the biggest radio telescope in the world, she jumps at the chance Her focus is only on doing research, not making friends and certainly not a fling, who comes in the form of Adam.I saw this cute cover on Netgalley, read Puerto Rico in the description and I immediately requested it I mean, I live in Puer [...]

I liked the individual pieces of this than the complete whole, and I think that was because I didn t realize it was going to be an erotic new adult romance Or so says the Dear Author new release posts, where it s classified as erotic romance But I really liked the characters separately I liked their backstories and the setting and circumstances of their romance I liked that Jo was prickly with cause and didn t look like your normal heroine I liked that she was much the alpha in the relationshi [...]

To start off, the cover is absolutely gorgeous and I really liked that I think that s where it stopped for me I really wanted to like the book and the synopsis was so interesting However, I couldn t get into the writing It clashed with my personal taste and it felt too slow for me Along with that, I couldn t relate to the main character, Jo I thought that she was so unlikable and didn t like her attitude Adam was a nice enough person but I couldn t connect with him either I feel like I m the onl [...]

I m sad, I really wanted to like this one, but I found myself just putting it down too easily Maybe it was hard to connect because I m just not a fan of 3rd person POV But maybe it was because Jo wasn t like able She had a huge chip on her shoulder and was pretty bitchy Adam was fine, I didn t really have feelings about him either way Now, if you can get into this story and connect from the beginning, you might have a totally different experience than I did Good luck

I found the heroine so unlikeable, I gave up about 25% of the way in.

Yes, good.

Not going to read.Hero has on and off again GF still in the picture Still torn by feelings for her,

3.5 Stars Jo Kramer is like a lot of women out there always off to the side, never comfortable in her skin, and unsure of herself Sure, she has a knack for science, and she s intelligent, but she grew up without reassurance She wants to be invisible, is skilled at being so, but also craves interaction and acceptance I felt that she was a completely relatable character who possessed all she needed to be comfortable, but wasn t self assured enough to use those tools Her summer in Puerto Rico solid [...]

Originally posted on my blog Live Laugh Love BooksWhen I first read the synopsis for When the Stars Align, it sounded like such a great book and I couldn t wait to read it When I started reading I liked Jo She was strong, determined, and would not let anyone tell her what to do Which is just how I like my female characters, but my opinion of Jo quickly changed for the worse When Adam makes an appearance, I thought he would be someone who I would like and that he would make the fact that Jo wasn [...]
