When the impossibly hot new quarterback ignores all the pretty cheerleaders competing for his attention to come over and sit at YOUR lunch table… what do you do?

I’ve always been the class dork—shy, bookish, not particularly pretty and definitely not popular. In other words, I’ve never been anybody important. Orphaned twice as a toddler, I’m not even sure who I am, other than a burden to my super-strict adoptive “aunt.” But then the gorgeous new quarterback, Rigel, arrives at Jewel High and turns his back on all the popular girls vying for his attention to seek out ordinary me—of all people! I’m over the moon, of course, but the first time Rigel touches me, sparks fly—literally! Then weird things start happening. Suddenly, I no longer need my thick glasses. My complexion improves, too. When I demand to know what’s going on, the answer both thrills and terrifies me. Not only is Rigel my bonded soulmate, apparently I’m not such a nobody after all! But my unexpected status comes with huge risks that threaten both my life and our newfound love.

Book 1 of an electrifying YA sci-fi romance series from a NYT bestselling author, where teen romance blends with science fiction to open a whole new world of action, adventure and discovery!

From the Author

Starstruck is my very first teen novel, and I have to say I had more fun writing it than I've ever had writing anything (which is saying a lot!) I got to channel my own inner teen (yes, my awkward, nerdy teen self) into M's character, but where I never did anything particularly extraordinary during my own high school years, M gets to break through all the bounds of "humdrum" into totally unexpected excitement and even a chance for glory! I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent in little "Jewel, Indiana" with M and her friends (and especially Rigel!) and I hope you will, too!

This book was awesome! I loved M (Marsha)' character along with Rigel. Her Aunt and Uncle seemed a bit uptight at first but that's okay. This story went from teenage drama to sci-fi reality so fast and blended so well I loved the transition. Being a long lost princess could have its advantages for M in the future with Rigel along side her as her prince. It would be awesome to see where they go in their next chapter. My opinion of the other characters is as follows: Marsha's best friends were sincere and seemed pretty understanding throughout the story. Trina needs to learn boundaries and back off. Aunt Theresa needs to relax. Uncle Louie should not drink and drive. Rigel's parents are sweet people and should probably share their special abilities with Marsha and Rigel. Shim was an okay character. Moven was a monster trying to make an army. The teacher took me by surprise even until the end. Overall, if you like young adult sci-fi romance books, this one is good.

Such a nice story. I completely escaped from reality. It would make a great plot for a tv show. I'd watch it.

I used to read nothing but sci-fi, from comics as a kid, to this book. It was so good and realistic that I read all 19 of Hiatt's romance novels - and was hooked. I now read mostly Regency romance novels (clean, no porn) with over 200 on my Kindle now.

Tyrannosaurus Rose

Great for Fans of Classic “Roswell” (w/ Some Caveats)

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

If you’re a classic TV fan and you’re looking for something to fill that “Roswell”-shaped hole in your life, this book is just about perfect if you don’t look too deeply at some irksome things. The love story was a lot of fun, and definitely captured the swoony joy of being a nerdy girl who catches the eye of an impossibly hot hottie. And as an Indiana girl myself, I was really jazzed to see something set in small-town Indiana.

Why not 5 stars then? Well... YMMV, but here’s what pushed my buttons (in a bad way)...

1) Marsha started out as sympathetic then got kind of arrogant and honestly mean and dismissive after she and Rigel began connecting. Nobody really calls her out on it, which bugged me. She’s supposed to be our heroine, for goodness’ sake. But her rudeness is framed as understandable, which I can only assume is because the author themselves is fine with it. Which, hey, okay. But, as a reader, it’s not fun for me to experience.

2) The Martian politics and external plot were kind of boring. Again, YMMV, but I found my attention wandering during these parts. I also really disliked all that talk about “genetic superiority” of the royals. Again, it’s another thing that the author doesn’t question or present a viable alternative to. She even frames the anti-royals as “shrill” villains, which... Umm. Okay. I feel like an American-raised teen would be a little leery of a monarchy based on RACIAL superiority, but hey, what do I know?

These kinds of books can be a tough hang because often there are questionable or regressive elements, and I guess maybe that’s the case here. But I think if you’re someone who doesn’t really think a lot about this kind of stuff or is just lucky enough to be able to disconnect from reality and enjoy a fun read completely (either way, I envy you!), then this is book is absolutely worth the read.

A GREAT TEEN/YA STORY GIRLS WILL DEFINITELY LIKE IT...

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2018

This was a happy oops for me. accidentally hit buy instead of a swipe to turn page.... but so glad i did. This is a book about those great days of being in high school and aso being a nerdy nobody. yay....member those god awful years? a girl who has been teased most of her school days since elementary school, haa that one real friend only, then another girl moves in and they become the best of friends growing up. then highschool comes aaround and we all hope things change.... Not for M.... she still gets picked on and tased but her frriends are there always....

Things change when the new kid, new quarterback, and oh so hottie R shows up. M isnt the one to be all googoo eyed for him, shes had a crush so bad for some pther cute guy that never seemed to no she existed. But things change

M has always had this uncanny knack to destroy electronics. comps, cells, microwaves .... even digital watches... chalked it up to static electricity.... but when the new kid touches her...they both get a jolt that weirds them both out.

this is where the sci fi begins.... i didnt particularly care for the Mars thing...but hey its a scifi ya book. i did laugh at the references of the books they had to read... lord of the flies to be exact.... had to read that in 10th grade too. like M...i didnt care to much for it either :) typical mean girls... snobby cheerleders... dorks.... jocks... all around hs angst.

if ya liked the plot in Twilight...you'll like this too... i read it to my young nieces and they cant wait to hear what happens next..(me included)

All in all, a great read. clean fun.. no sexy crappy fill ins...

and a happy accident i hit the wrong tab :)

Im honestly wondering if i've been dreaming for the past 5 days. This book was amazing.
SPOILER
Mause is a ordinary girl with a normal life. Maybe not though.
When a new quarterback arrives at school -and boy he is hot- every girl is hoping to be his girlfriend. However, he's interested in the girl who keeps herself to her self. Mause soon discovers that the new guy knows more about her than she might know. As she spends more and more time with the hot guy - sorry guys I cant spell his name - she uncovers more about her life.
Maybe she isn't a plain Jayne after all and maybe her actual name isn't Mause

You think im gonna tell ya what she is, well you're wrong. Find out for your self!!
Another good think about this book is its free. The book lasts about 5 hours and is a very enjoyable read making you sit on the edge of your seat in astonishment.
THIS BOOK IS SUITABLE FOR AGES 12/13+

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STORY I'D EVER READ

Reviewed in India on May 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book carried the most beautiful story i'd ever read and the cute relation that M and Rigel shared took this book to a whole new level. I would say that all over this book was really amazing but at sometimes i could tell whats going to happen next without reading further so at some parts the book was a bit predictable for me the script was also well settled so in the end : ) really great book.
