Publisher's summary

One of Amazon's Best Romances of October!

Space is the last thing an event planner and an astronaut need in this charming new romantic comedy from New York Times best-selling author Samantha Young.

When event planner Hallie Goodman receives party-inspiration material from the bride of her latest wedding project, the last thing she expects to find is a collection of digital videos from Darcy’s ex-boyfriend. Hallie knows it’s wrong to keep watching these personal videos, but this guy is cute, funny, and an astronaut on the International Space Station to boot. She’s only human. And it’s not long until she starts sending e-mails and video diaries to his discontinued NASA address. Since they’re bouncing back, there’s no way anyone will ever be able to see them...right?

Christopher Ortiz is readjusting to life on earth and being constantly in the shadow of his deceased older brother. When a friend from NASA’s IT department forwards him the e-mails and video messages Hallie has sent, he can’t help but notice how much her sense of humor and pink hair make his heart race.

Separated by screens, Hallie and Chris are falling in love with each other, one transmission at a time. But can they make their star-crossed romance work when they each learn the other’s baggage?

Critic reviews

"Wow. I've been reading Samantha Young for years and she has actually managed to top herself with A Cosmic Kind of Love."—Tessa Bailey, New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer

“With a premise that shines like the brightest constellation, Samantha Young delivers a refreshing and delicious rom-com about star crossed lovers event planner Hallie Goodman and NASA astronaut Christopher Ortiz. Sizzling chemistry, a tangible connection, and complex characters I rooted for from the get go, A Cosmic Kind of Love did in fact launch my heart into space and left me on Earth, starry eyed and hoping for my own Captain Chris Ortiz.”—Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception

"A stellar blend of upbeat and endearing, A Cosmic Kind of Love is classic, feel-good rom-com entertainment!"—Chloe Liese, author of the Bergman Brothers series

Too Slow

I was intrigued by the premise, but it is boring once you get into the book itself. It is full of cringy cliches, and the dialogue is robotic.

RELATABLE

It's probably one of the most entertaining books I have listened to in the last couple of years. I'm glad I purchased the book.

Loved It!

What a fun story about finding loved in such unique places. The narrators were perfect and so enjoyed!!

I loved this book

The story is so cute and I love the characters
Samantha Young is incredible as always 💕💕

Ok // Lead was hard to stomach

I hate to be harsh but this book was a let down! The main character, Hallie, was a weak character who let others push her around. Her character development towards the end of the book was good, but too much of the book showed her getting trashed on by others.

The astronaut aspect was intriguing to me when I pre-ordered the book but it ended up being only a small part of the actual plot.

Overall it was good but not captivating. It ended well and the romance was cute.

cozy

I typically read more psychology and philosophy books but I was pleasantly surprised by how satisfying A Cosmic Kind of Love was. The book itself was super relatable and the writing was cute, something to read/listen to when you feel down. I really liked the narration and feel they did a great job representing the characters emotions.

Loved this book !

I loved this book so much and the twist it took. The narration was amazing and you could feel the energy through it . This book was addictive , sexy and romantic . And someone can definitely relate to it .

A Cosmic Kind of Love

I didn’t really know what I was getting into with this one, but it was kinda perfect. I love that they didn’t end up meeting until a bit later but when they do it's so very honest.

That is what makes a Samantha Young book so her. It's never the same story. You are always surprised or at least I am.

I really liked Hallie and her outlook on life. Will it probably beat her down in time? Most likely, but you live, and you learn and the way she is, well she wouldn’t be Hallie if she didn’t.
Chris is kinda awesome, the way he came in did I want to shake him because she was so honest and he well wasn’t, yes, yes, I did. But I got over it because the way he gets to know Hallie is exactly right. He doesn’t want to change her; he just wants to be near her.

My heart is just happier listening to this book.

I wasn’t expecting Andi as the narrator because I don’t believe she has ever done a Samantha Young book and though I wasn’t looking forward to her, it worked. But Noah stole the show for me. Great audiobook!

Great narration, ok story

The story was fine, nothing earth-shattering (pun intended), but the narration made it more enjoyable. Andie Arndt is always great, and the guy who voices Chris was hot!

Not My Fav

I am a huge fan of Samantha Young and will read everything she puts out. I was so excited for this one and to see where the story would go.
Sadly, I am DNF it though. I just cannot get into it at all. It started off a little too slow and I just never found myself excited to finish the story.
