Lissa's Review - Five Boundless Stars
I've seen Rachel's books around everywhere but this is the first book I've read.. Shhh don't tell anyone. This book was so hilarious, I laughed so much. I was 6% in and already knew. That I would love it. Rachel has a way of capturing you and never letting you go. That is until the book is finished, then you just want to read more of her books.
You would think based on Dani's situation, that at first would be tragic. And yes for Dani losing part of her family is tragic but she has so many great friends and her sister Pris.
When she meets Lincoln, nowhere in her mind did she snagged such a famous guy. But he genuinely fell for her. Knowing the repercussions.
"I want to chase you, Dani." I sucked in a breath. "I want to capture you."
Though humorous, the heartache is one that can be unspeakable. Fighting to regain a life you had before. Being able to find someone that can take you out of it. Save you.
"It's a miracle you're alive, Dani. You're my miracle."
How could you not love that? That's the pureness of it. This is on my top favs this year!
“Finally!” Jaymeson pointed at both of us. “Lincoln, show her to her mark. Dani, for this scene you’re simply staring at him like you want to eat him. Think you can do that?”
I nodded.
Any woman could do that.
Most men too.
“Cue music!” Jaymeson called out. “Action.”
A techno mix of AD2’s latest song filled the air as the extras started dancing around us. I stayed glued to the wall while Lincoln delivered his lines to Pris, and then he lifted his head, meeting my gaze.
It’s just a movie. It’s just a movie.
The breath left my chest on one slow exhale as he moved toward me, his body making fluid purposeful movements through the crowd.
My lips parted; my entire body felt heavy as he approached.
He stopped in front of me, his forehead grazing mine as he leaned in a few inches. Our breath mingled as the music and scene faded around me.
“Cut!” Jaymeson yelled.
Holy crap on a cracker. I almost experienced my first stroke — at seventeen.
“You okay?” Lincoln’s eyebrows knit together in concern.I licked the lipstick from my lips and nodded quickly.
Jaymeson approached. “Time for the kiss, remember kissing, not hockey. Clearly, you were confused earlier.”
Lincoln gritted his teeth and let out a little groan.I patted his arm and grinned, my way of encouraging him. He seemed to pale more.
My stomach sank.
Maybe it was me.
I was the problem.
Not the kiss, but me. If he’d had trouble kissing my gorgeous sister, how was he going to be able to kiss me?
“Hey…” Lincoln cupped my cheek. “… focus on me, nothing else, alright? It’s only us.”
I nodded.
“You ever been to a party?”
I rolled my eyes.
“Ever made out with a guy at a party that wasn’t your boyfriend?”
I thought about it then slowly shook my head.
“So that’s what this scene is about. It’s about a guy seeing a girl from across the room and wanting her so badly that he’s willing to cheat on his own girlfriend for just one taste. Granted, he’s supposedly drunk and high, but that just takes the romance out of it, doesn’t it?”
He released my cheek and stepped back. “Imagine you’re trying to attract me, make your body as inviting as possible. Hell, just stand there and look at me, and you’ll sell it."
Sell it. I repeated the words in my mind.
I could do that.
