Falling Stars: A Festive and Fun Holiday Story Kindle Edition

Fern Michaels’ Christmas novels are pure holiday magic—uplifting stories of love, family, and friendship in irresistible settings. Here, a ski instructor finds her skills, and her heart, put to the test courtesy of a visiting movie star in this special seasonal tale that will delight Fern fans and those who love Mary Kay Andrews, Debbie Macomber, and RaeAnne Thayne.
 
Emily Ammerman has always felt at home amid the ski runs and slopes of Snowdrift Summit, the Colorado resort her family has operated for decades. Snow is her element, and she doesn’t hesitate when a new client asks her to train him to ski The Plunge, one of Colorado’s most treacherous runs.
 
But Zach Ryder is no regular client. On screen, he’s famous for starring as a daring CIA officer who always saves the day. In real life, he’s just as handsome and charming as his alter ego, though not everyone is impressed. Some are concerned about what kind of impact these slick showbiz types will have on their town.
 
As for Emily—she’s got a secret, and it’s one she can’t reveal to anyone, especially not to Zach: she’s his biggest fan. But she’s also a professional. She’ll train him till he’s ready to tackle any slope, but she won’t fall in love with him, the way so many others have.
 
Still, not everything in life can be planned, and sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t help but fall . . .

3.0 out of 5 stars Wanted more from this holiday tale
Reviewed in Canada on October 13, 2022
Falling Stars is a holiday romance story written by Fern Michaels. I’ll start by saying I have never read this author before but have seen great reviews for some of her other titles so was excited to get an advanced copy of this one.

I found that this story was all over the place as far as character development and storyline. The main character Emily Ammerman is a well known ski instructor at her families ski resort, who grew up alongside her best friend Kylie who also works at the resort.

Hollywood comes to town looking for a place to start filming an instalment of a very popular action movie series starring Zach Ryker. The studio team recruit Emily to teach Zach how to ski “the plunge” for the movie. Emily and Zach realize their attraction for one another once they start working together.

Here’s where things go awry for me:

Emily and Kylie’s relationship reminds me of high school besties, although they are in their 30’s. There is some real immaturity in their behaviour and conversations.

There are some odd story branch offs that really do nothing to enhance the main story or the characters including Emily’s mothers hate for Hollywood people and Emily’s fathers long lost brother story.

All in all it was an okay romance story that touched very slightly on the holidays. Most characters are likeable and the relationship between Emily and Zach is a bit fast tracked but cute. This is a quick and easy read if you’re looking for some light with a bit of a holiday theme.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring, choppy couldn't finish it
Reviewed in Canada on February 11, 2024
Thought I would give this author a try. This book was terrible. Felt like a high school student wrote it. Overbearing parents, main character a spoilt brat, love interest wimpy. Richy rich people..story line was all over the map. I skimmed through it, couldn't finish it. A waste of time. Will not read any more from this author.

I stopped reading at chapter 6. Could not continue because the book was just messy and silly. And repetitive. By chapter 6, I had not yet developed any feelings for the main character, and I decided not to give it any more time or chances

I'm rather new to Fern Michael's writing & already a fan! Her characters are realistic & likable. Her descriptions of scenery make me feel as if I'm seeing it with my own eyes, & make me want to BE there! Good thing because she TAKES me there! I LOVE that her stories, at least the ones I've read, are family oriented & without violence, profanity, & gratuitous sex. In fact, this book didn't go beyond kisses & a teensy bit of implicit sex (left 99.999+% to the imagination)! Authors such as Ms. Michaels, PROVE that while "sex sells", it isn't mandatory, necessary, or even desired in order to write a successful novel!! Thank you Ms. Michaels for writing enjoyable, clean, realistic, stories that won't need to be hidden away when company comes!! Ones that I could've shared with my Mama, God rest her soul! (BTW, an early Happy Birthday, Mama! She'd have turned 108 in a few hours!!) I truly appreciate authors who care about their readers emotional health & morals! God bless you Ms. Michaels! I look forward to reading more wonderful stories from you! I pray you have a Blessed New Year!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sort of coming-of-age romance (at 29)
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 16, 2023

An easy read completed within a day. Came across more as a "coming-of-age" drama because Emily (the MC through whose eyes it was written) finally began to work out what she might want in life and the resulting need to stand up for herself rather than just drifting.

The romance was a bit insipid and didn't have a truly satisfying ending because of its brevity. Seemed a little implausible that she gained her business degree top of her year no less but didn't enjoy doing the business work.

Overall, a pleasant, undemanding read worth around 3.5 stars (just scraping into being rounded up to 4).

Delightful Christmas read. Enjoyed this wonderful story of a chance meeting, instant attraction and how families blend to create new traditions. Fern Michaels created rich characters in a few short pages and an interesting side story to finish the book.
