She's growing tired of the 'wish-I-may-wish-I-might' dreams. Griffin Walker is an Air Force pilot whose been grounded because of health. On top of that, he finds himself guardian of his teenage brother, Ian, because of the death of their parents. Griffin is overwhelmed with all that's going on in his life. To make matters worse, Griffin finds himself intrigued by the good Dr. Kendall. She's strong yet tenderhearted and different from any other woman he's ever known. But he sure isn't looking for love. He's planning on remaining single. Will Griffin and Kendall both learn that they may plan their way, but the Lord directs their steps.
What do you do when your life isn't what you thought it would be? The author does a wonderful job of exploring that question in Catch a Falling Star. The title and the cover are great and perfectly depict the essence of the story. You are drawn into this delightful tale from the very first page and it holds you there until you find out how it ends. And I've got to tell you, it had an ending that I absolutely adored! You'll meet lots of great characters who will stay with you long after you close the book. I thoroughly enjoy Beth Vogt's writing style. It's clean and fresh like a springtime morning. I appreciated the reminder that sometimes we need to let go of what 'we' want to see what 'God' has for us. That's not always easy. So, grab a cup of coffee, have a seat on the back porch and Catch a Falling Star! You'll be glad you did!

I really enjoyed this sweet story of a 30 something year old doctor who is afraid marriage and children has passed her by. She suddenly meets two eligible men - one who is handsome and smooth talking, and the other id on the grumpy side with a teenage brother to raise. Interesting with a good ending. Highly recommended!
Beth Vogts debut novel Wish You Were Here was great. A good story.
Catch a Falling Starsuperb.
I couldnt put the novel down. Could. Not. I dont have stronger words to describe how much this novel captured meoh wait Ill say this: I could have dealt with one or five more of those kisses
Beth Vogt has hit her sweet spot. Talk about a great story! (I really need a stronger arsenal of vivid descriptors for novels I love). Griffin and Kendall are characters that go deep in their characterization. The dialogueoh the dialogue! Snappy, quick and perfect for every single moment. I dont think one word was wasted, each one built upon the other to create a story soso wonderful to spend time reading, I couldnt put it down. Oh, wait, Ive already said that.
Characters are great. Writing is superb. Themes are clearly evident and excellently woven through the story. Descriptions take you right into the heart of the story while not distracting anything from it. I have a feeling THIS is the voice, people are going to love discovering on book shelves. And talk about a romance. I dont think it can get much betterexcept, I could have had a few more kisses. (broken record, yeah I know, whats your point?)
Oh sighdo I have to shut up now? I really could go on and onlet me say this: I had an advance ecopy. Im going to buy the book. And get it autographed.
This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers through Netgalley for my copy to review.
