A Stardust, Texas Novel

By: Lori Wilde

Narrated by: C. J. Critt

A sexy sports superstar discovers his body isn’t the only thing that needs healing in this newest Stardust, Texas novel from New York Times bestselling author Lori Wilde.

With major league good looks and talent, Dallas Gunslingers relief pitcher Axel Richmond was living the good life. Even if the roar of the crowd could never distract him from the loss of his young son. But now with an injured shoulder and his career on the line, Axel is stuck recuperating at a ranch in Stardust, Texas . . . striking out only with his gorgeous physical therapist.

Kasha Carlyle has one week to get Axel back in action or she can kiss her much-needed job with the Gunslingers goodbye. And any chance to seek custody of the orphaned half-sister she never knew existed. She quickly learns that Axel’s guarded heart also needs healing . . . requiring all kinds of sneaky plays and sexy moves in extra innings.

It was okay but boring

This is a book I wouldn't think about when I'm going about my day and remember a scene or line that would make me pull it back up and listen. The story was not bad and narration was good but it was boring. She took the whole book, "I want him but I have to fight it, no matter what ". There was no real climax, no crescendo. I was disappointed. There were real life issues and situations, yes but the story, for me, did not come together in any meaningful way.
