Catch a Falling Star

De: Matt Burlingame

Narrado por: John Steinkamp

A therapist once told Martin Stevens that being gay was the only thing that saved him from being the most boring man alive. He spends his daytime working a dead-end job and his nights still pining after the ex-fiance who left him five years ago. When his older brother, Daniel, takes him to see a touring musical, a mishap sends superstar performer Alec Jameson flying off the stage right into Martin's lap. It's love at first sight. But can that love withstand the scrutiny of the press, a shock-jock radio personality bent on causing trouble, and the return of Martin's overbearing ex-fiance?

Sweet and Sexy

Catch a Falling Star is a great romantic comedy by Matt Burlingame. This is the first story I read/ listened to by this author, but definitely won’t be the last. I love the way the characters were down to earth and life like. Martin and Alec make such a perfect match and the book flowed nicely. The narration was wonderful. This is the first time I have listened to by John Steinkamp. I look forward to more stories by Matt Burlingame.

Sweet Short Romance!

This is a very sweet short read. My only complaint was that it wasn't longer. It's nice to just have a feel good read sometimes and that's what this was. I absolutely adored the two MCs and was rooting for them from the beginning. Even with the book being short there was still enough growth in Martin throughout the story to make me want to hug him tight and tell him how proud I was of him.

The audible was well done, I enjoyed the narration, new narrator for me.

New author, new narrator

I really enjoyed this book. Although I liked the entire book, my favorite part of the story was the last 10 minutes. Hearing Martin finally get a backbone and stand up to his ex fiance had me cheering out loud.
John Steincamp is now up there with some of my favorite narrators. His enunciation was spot on and there was a consistency that even seasoned narrators have a hard time achieving.

Short but very sweet

This is a sweet story. Martin doesn't see what a great guy he really is, so his brother Daniel takes it upon himself to give Martin an unwanted makeover and takes him to see the hit play that is currently in town. Actor Alec literally falls into Martin's arms and is instantly smitten. I love Alec so much! He sees the man Martin is under all the fear and insecurity, and he is willing to what it takes to win him over. The local shock jock is a bully from Martin's past, and he decides to harass the new couple for ratings. Can Martin handle the attention and cruelty, or would he be better off remaining alone and out of the spotlight that follows Alec?
The story is great, as is the narrator's performance. The author packed an engrossing story into a short read/listen. I love it!

Catch a falling star

This was a short, quick and easy feel good read, with a little bit rushed and the connection isn't quite there. I think the story needed more.
