DEBUT Astronaut Regina “Reggie” Hayes has her eyes set on the stars. The real stars, not the ones like Hollywood actor Jon Leo. In a PR stunt, Reggie is hired to train Jon ahead of his upcoming major film set in space. Despite her best efforts, ice-cold Reggie finds herself melting for the space nerd who’s underneath Jon’s brawn, good looks, and Hollywood persona. Reggie and Jon give in to their feelings when they’re sent to live alone in close quarters at NASA’s moon mission facility. With Reggie’s devotion to reaching the moon, and Jon’s imminent launch to superstardom, can their relationship withstand real-world pressures once their training mission is over? A subplot featuring a main character’s diagnosis of ADHD is deftly explored and interwoven with the romance arc.
VERDICT A stellar debut full of horny heart and humor. Perfect for patrons who loved Rosie Danan’s The Roommate.
