WOW! New Review!!"Five moons...The story of Keane and Marrin is told chronologically from present to past and back again to the present. The reader sees scenes from their life together, starting with the love that has grown over time, to its inception. This unusual depiction is absolutely perfect. Their story is simply beautiful, and Ms. Hart tells it without embellishment. Each vignette portrays events that happen in every day life. And yet, each vignette demonstrates a strength of character in both Keane and Marrin that intensifies their love for each other, and causes the reader to fall in love with them as well.
The true measure of an author lies in her ability to evoke emotion in her readers. Any book that can touch a reader deeply enough to elicit laughter or tears is one in which the author has proven her ability beyond any shadow of a doubt. Megan Hart is one such a talented author; I was moved to tears by this extraordinary tale.
However, not only is Ms. Hart an exceptional author, she has mastered her genre as well. While the goal of an author in general is inducing emotion, the true measure of a romance author is her ability to evoke emotion without sacrificing eroticism. Again, Ms. Hart has not only confirmed her flair for her craft with this story, she has raised the bar with her gift for harmonizing love with take-me-now lust. Desire consistently complemented Keane and Marrin’s feelings for each other, both when deeper emotions were newly burgeoning and when their devotion was already established. The combination of lust and love they shared produced hot, erotic scenes that not only aroused, but tugged at the reader’s heart.
AMIDST A CROWD OF STARS is the truly moving story of a couple who risk everything for a love that transcends racial differences and social prejudices. Have a box of tissues handy." -- Erin Brown for Mystique Books
